    Study Notes

    Chemical Level of Organization

    • Cellular organization is crucial in understanding anatomy and physiology.
    • Familiarize with fundamental chemistry concepts to comprehend biological processes.

    Common Elements in the Human Body

    • Elements are the simplest form of matter with unique chemical properties.
    • Each atom is made up of subatomic particles: neutrons (no charge), protons (positive charge).

    Important Ions in the Human Body

    • Ions play vital roles in physiological processes and cell signaling.

    Chemical Bonding

    • Covalent bonding involves the transfer of electrons between nonmetals.
    • Polar covalent bonds involve unequal sharing of electrons, leading to asymmetric charge.
    • Nonpolar covalent bonds involve equal sharing of electrons; molecules have symmetrical charge.
    • Hydrogen bonds occur between polar molecules due to weak attractions.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions involve the formation or breaking of bonds.
    • Reactants are substances that undergo reactions, while products are the resulting substances.

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • Synthesis Reactions: Multiple reactants combine to form complex products (Anabolism in the body).
    • Decomposition Reactions: Reactants break down into simpler products (Catabolism in digestion).
    • Exchange Reactions: Involve both synthesis and decomposition processes.

    Organic Compounds

    • Carbohydrates are structured as CnH2nOn and include monosaccharides (glucose, fructose), disaccharides (sucrose), and polysaccharides (glycogen, starch).
    • Monosaccharides serve as primary energy sources for cells, while polysaccharides act as energy storage.

    Lipids

    • Lipids are nonpolar compounds insoluble in water; they include fats, phospholipids, eicosanoids, and steroids.
    • Fats are key energy storage molecules and serve as insulation.
    • Phospholipids are fundamental components of cell membranes.
    • Eicosanoids function in regulatory roles, especially in tissue response to injury.
    • Cholesterol is a significant steroid involved in membrane structure and hormone synthesis.
