Topic 3: Inner Working Of The Cell: Water

In learning well-nigh the eukaryotic cell, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids together with nucleic acids were mentioned.  What are these?  Well, the next topics volition clarify that.



Only 25 of the xc natural elements (periodic table) are essential for life.  We telephone telephone these biogenic elements.
They tin hold out divided into ii groups:  macroelements (need lots) together with microelements (needed inwards minor quantities)

Macroelements
O - O2, H2O
C - CO2, organic compounds (lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, vitamins)
H - H2O, CH4
northward - amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids

H2O
-the most of import inorganic compound
70-95% of most organisms (98% inwards jellyfish, well-nigh 70% inwards humans)

- from the molecular construction y'all tin meet that H2O is a dipolar molecule amongst electron sharing
-hydrogen bond:  attraction of reverse charges, weak bond, H goal attracts O goal of some other H2O or an anion
-very of import inwards asset large molecules together, eg. proteins, DNA, etc

Properties:
1. Excellent solvent - H2O attracts ions together with surrounds them, split ionic bond (dissociation) together with prevents reassociation past times creating hydrate shells (vizburok) only about them, thence they dissolve. eg. NaCl.  It likewise works for polar molecular substances eg. sucrose.  H2O can't dissolve apolar substances
2.Thermal properties: High thermal capacity (fajhő) - this is the sum of oestrus needed to enhance the temperature of 1g past times 1 bird Celsius.  Water has a high boiling betoken (liquid at ambient temperature together with pressure)
3.  Surface tension (force that causes surface to contract to occupy the to the lowest degree possible area): Highest of whatever liquid except mercury, thence H2O is pulled into spherical shapes together with it creates a surface film, which supports insects, creates a habitat together with causes capillarity (cohesion together with adhesion) inwards plants' xylem.
4. Freezing properties: At temperatures LESS than 4C,  book is high together with density is low, thence H2O ice floats - this protects organisms that alive inwards water.  At 4C H2O is densest together with collects at the bottom.  Ice is a thermoinsulator.

Semester Grades

Hello Students! I promise yous all rest condom today inward the ice!  As many of yous convey noticed, I entered the in conclusion seek out scores in conclusion night.  I convey non entered extra credit yet together with I tin actually entirely add together that to the finalized grade, together with thence yous postulate to hang tight!  You tin enjoin how much extra credit yous are getting past times looking at your SPARK lectures together with mass reviews inward turnitin.com.  I in all likelihood won't become to a greater extent than or less to finalizing grades until Lord's Day or Mon (they are due Tuesday).  I all the same convey a lot of run to create for my 2d twelvemonth students.  Please endeavor to relax together with taste your week-end! Ms. Kenny
