Chemical Components Of Cells
- Living cells are composed of a limited number of elements.
- The chemical properties of an atoms are determined by ther number and arragments of their
electrons
- The chemical bonds between atoms in form because electrons move to reach
a stable configuration.
- An electron jumping atom to atom forms a positively charged ion
and one negative ion.
- Mutual attraction between charged
atoms form ionic bonds.
- Covalent bond: two atoms adjacent
- When the atoms share two electron pais, its a double bond
- Sugars, fatty acids, aminoacids and nucleotids form the principal
category of restricted and characteristic group of small molecules
with carbon ( eseential for life).
- The primary source of energy for cells is sugar.
- Sugar joins with
polysaccharides, whose
porpouse is store energy.
- The fatty acids are important because
they reserve energy, also are the major
component in the cell membrane.
- Most of the dry mass of the cell is composed by sugar
polymers , aminoacids or nucleotids
- Macromolecules have an intermediate size
and complexity between small molecules and
cell organelles .
- Polymers formed by amino acids are proteins that represent a diverse and versatile class of
macromolecules .
- nucleotides play a central role in energy transfer.
- Subunits that form part of RNA and DNA .
- The molecules of the proteins of RNA and DNA are
synthesized since the subunits by repeating
condensation reactions.
