Study Notes
Properties of Gases
- Gases are comprised of particles that are widely spaced, lacking definite shape or volume.
- They conform to the shape of their container and occupy the entire volume available.
- Gases readily diffuse, allowing them to mix evenly and cover large areas.
- Compressibility is a significant property of gases, enabling them to be pressurized.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
- Molecules in gases are in continuous motion and travel in all directions.
- The gas is mostly empty space, contributing to its high compressibility.
- No attractive forces exist between gas molecules, preventing clumping.
- Gas molecules move randomly, resulting in rapid mixing.
- Kinetic energy correlates directly with temperature (Kelvin).
- Distance between gas particles is large compared to their size, leading to negligible volume relative to the container.
- Collisions with container walls create pressure, with average kinetic energy being temperature-dependent.
Boyle’s Law
- Describes the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas when temperature and amount of gas are constant.
- Increasing pressure causes a proportional decrease in volume.
- If pressure is doubled, volume is reduced to half.
Charles’s Law
- Explains the direct relationship between the volume of a gas and its absolute temperature at constant pressure.
- Increasing temperature leads to an increase in volume, assuming pressure remains constant.
Essential Amino Acids
- Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and must be ingested through diet.
Gas Behavior in Balloons
- Adding pressure to a balloon at constant temperature will decrease its volume.
- A balloon pops in lower atmospheric pressure because the volume expands.
Structural Bonds in Biomolecules
- Carbohydrates connect via glycosidic bonds.
- Proteins are linked by peptide bonds.
- Lipids are formed through ester bonds.
- Nucleic acids utilize phosphodiester bonds.
Types of Biomolecule Monomers and Polymers
- Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides (monomer), Polysaccharides (polymer).
- Proteins: Amino acids (monomer), Polypeptides (polymer).
- Nucleic acids: Nucleotides (monomer), DNA/RNA (polymer).
- Lipids: Fatty acids (monomer), Triglycerides (polymer).
Composition of Biomolecules
- Common elements in biomolecules include Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Phosphorus (CHONSP).
Organic vs. Inorganic Compounds
- Organic compounds are primarily macromolecules and polymers formed from smaller monomer units.
- Macromolecules, essential for life, include carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids.
Carbohydrates
- Main energy source for the body, derived from sugars, grains, fruits, and vegetables.
- Simple carbohydrates (e.g., monosaccharides like glucose) provide quick energy.
- Complex carbohydrates (e.g., polysaccharides like starch and fiber) offer longer-lasting energy and additional nutrients.
Lipids
- Organic substances that include fats, they are hydrophobic and insoluble in water.
- Function in insulation, energy storage, and as structural components of cell membranes.
Vitamins and Hormones
- Vitamins are essential for metabolism, with water-soluble (B complex, C) and fat-soluble (A, D, E, K) categories.
- Hormones mediate responses in target tissues.
Proteins
- Essential for nearly all cellular processes, proteins are made from amino acid chains.
- Classified by chain length: peptides (<50 amino acids), polypeptides (>10 amino acids), proteins (>50 amino acids).
- There are 20 standard amino acids, each containing an amino group, carboxyl group, hydrogen, and a variable R group.
DNA and RNA Comparison
- DNA is a double helix that carries genetic information, predominantly located in the nucleus.
- RNA (single-stranded) plays a key role in protein synthesis outside the nucleus, utilizing uracil instead of thymine.
- Both contain nucleotides as building blocks, with specific base pairing (A-T and C-G in DNA).
