Resource summary
Chemical components of cells
Cells are based completely on:
Carbon compunds Chemical reactions in aqueous solutions Complexity Polymeric molecules Strict regulation
Living organisms
Conformed of 96% of CHONSP
They are joined by more than a covalent bond
Chemical bonds
Matter: combination of elements
Atom: the smallest particle with chemical properties
Conformed by electrons, protons and neutrons
The sum of them is the atomic number
Electron: negative Proton: positive Neutron: neutral
Defines the characteristics of the atom
Ionic bonds
An atom gives up an electron to another atom
Cation: positive Anion: negative
Electrostatic atraction: force of atraction betwen 2 atoms with opposite charges
Interaction betwen ions and water defines solubility
Covalent bonds
Formed when 2 atoms share electrons
Molecule: group of atoms linked by a covalent bond
Bond length: cores separated by some distance. Balance between the forces of attraction and repulsion.
Simple: each atom shares an electron Double: Each atom shares 2 electrons. Intermediate: share electrons unequally
Polar Covalent Bond: formed by weak electrostatic interactions
The type of atoms that are part of cells
Isotopes: different neutron number but the same proton number
Atomic weight: mass of the atom relative to the mass of hydrogen
Measured in daltons
Avogadro's number: 6x10 ^23
Mol: number of molecules available for reactions.
electrons in living tissues suffer reordering
Outermost electrons determine interaction
Electronic orbital: limit of electrons in an orbital
Biological molecules don't use atoms with more of 4 orbitals
External orbital complete= stable
Living organisms: incomplete orbitals to form molecules
Periodic table: the result of ordering elements by similar properties
Bond strenght: amount of energy required to break a bond
Enzimes: specific catalysts that control reactions
Biology reactions depend on non covalent bonds
Water
70% cell weight Reactions occur in the aqueous medium
Hydrogen bonding: when an H binds to another molecule of water with the O
Molecules with polar bonds form hydrogen bonding and are soluble.
Hydrophilic: likes water Hydrophobic: hate water
Formation of acids and bases
Proton: When a molecule is dissolved in water and completely gives up its electron
Hydronium ion (H3O-): H is associated and dissociated with the Oxygen
Acids: substance that releases protons when is dissolved in water.
Weak: slowly loses it proton Strong: quickly loses it proton
Base: Substance capable of accepting protons [OH]
pH scale: representation of hydronium ion concentration in a logarithmic scale
Buffer: acid or base that releases or accepts protons near to a pH of 7.
Molecules of the Cell
Organic molecules
Mainly conformed by Carbon 30 atoms of Carbon each Forms chains and rings
Sintetized from the same component
4 important families
Sugars
Functions: Production and storage of energy Mechanicsupport
Most important glucose
Monosaccharide
Simple form Glycosidic bond
Formed by one -OH group from a sugar and other -OH by a condensation reaction
Disaccharide
2 monosaccharide
Oligosaccharide
3 to 50 monosaccharide
Binded to proteins: glycoproteins
Binded to lipids: glycolipids
Polisaccharide
Over 50 monosaccharides
Fatty Acids
Two regions
Large hidrophobic chain of hydrocarbon Carboxilic group very reactive
High storage of energy Composition of membranes
not soluble in water
Triacilglycerol
3 chains of fatty acids binded to a glicerol molecule
Aminoacids
Carboxilic acid group + amin group
Cells use them to form proteins 3D structure
Peptiodic bond: union of 2 adyacent aminoacids. Polipeptide: chains of aminoacids
20 types in cells
5 of them hace electrical charge 20 don't have
2 forms D and L (proteíns)
Nucleotids
NUCLEOSIDE: Conformed by a nitrogen cyclic compound binded to a 5 carbon sugar
Nucleotide= Nucleoside + phosfate group
Ribonucleotids: contain ribose Desoxirribonucleotids: contain desoxiribose
DNA:A, G, C, T RNA: (A. G. C, T) transporter
pyrimidics: Citocyn, timin, and uracil
Purins: Guanine and adenine
Storage of genetic information
Inorganic molecules
The rest of the molecule including water
Macromolecules
Most important carbonated molecules
Polymers conformed by small organic molecules
Give the most important characteristics to living organisms
Polymers of aminoacids conform proteins
especific sequence of subunits
Conformed by the addition of a subunit in one of the sides.
Non covalent bonds
Allows the binding with other molecules
Specificity
Proteins
Variety of functions
Enximatic Structural Movement
Enzimes: sintetize important molecules
Structural proteins such as tubulin
Bonds
Covalent bonds
Allows the differents shapes and structures
Ionic bonds
Strong but weak on water
Van der Waals forces
Atraction between big molecules
