Chemistry of Life
1. Matter, elements, atoms, compounds
Atoms have electrons which are very small and are negatively charged and
have a negligible mass (Mass=0)
Electrons move in orbits around the center of the atom- in relatively areas
called Energy Levels. (Orbits or shells)
Basic Chemistry Continued
Neutrons have no charge and are therefore called Neutral and have a
mass=1.

Atoms fill up their energy levels from the lowest to the highest. Electrons
rarely "skip levels"
The second energy (and all higher) energy level can only hold eight electrons.
Electron/Energy Level Rules (continued)
Atoms seek to have a full outermost energy level. All chemical reactions
happen to acomplish.

a. Nucleus: Contains most of the genes that control the eukaryotic cell,
generally the most conspicuous organelle in a eukaryotic cell, contains
the nucleolus and the chromatin
b. Nucleolus: where the components of the ribosomes are synthesized
and assembled, found in the nucleus
c. Ribosomes: site of protein synthesis, suspended in the cytosol,
produces proteins for use within the cell.
d. Lysosomes: membrane bound sac of hydraulic enzymes, enzymes are
used to digest food, other molecules, and old, worn out cell parts.
e. Peroxisomes: detoxifies alcohol, converts to H2O2 to H2O and O2
f. Vacuole: membrane bound sacs, larger than vesicles, stores materials
g. Cytoskeleton: protects the cell
h. Cell Membrane: forms the boundary of the cell, acts as a selective
barrier allowing certain materials to pass but not others
i. Vesicle: carries ER products to the Golgi and carries Golgi modified
products to the cell membrane, fuses with the cell membrane releasing
the contents to outside the cell
j. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: channels proteins to transport vesicles,
attaches carbohydrate to some proteins, involved in membrane
production through the production of ribosomes
k. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: synthesis lipids including
phospholipids and steroids, metabolizes carbohydrates detoxifies drugs
and poisons, stores calcium ions, lacks attached ribosomes
l. Golgi apparatus: consists of flattened membranous sacs, receives
transport vesicles from the ER, modifies ER products, produces certain
molecules, and produces lysosomes and secretory vesicles.
m. Chloroplasts: site of photosynthesis, produce food using light energy,
CO2 and H20
n. Mitochondria: site of cellular respiration, produces ATP from sugars,
fats CO2, and other fuels. Creates energy
o. Cell Wall: protective layer external to the cell membrane, consists of
cellulose.
p. Cytoplasm: the entire region between the nucleus and the cell
membrane, consists or cytosol.
4. Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
a. Prokaryote
i. No nucleus
ii. DNA is formed in single loops
iii. Single celled
iv. Bacteria and Archea
v. Cytosol
vi. DNA in nucleoid
b. Eukaryotic
i. Nucleus
ii. DNA held in nucleus
iii. DNA organized in chromosomes
iv. Multicellular or single celled
v. All animals are eukaryotes
vi. 10X larger

Autotrophic process: plants and plant like organisms make their energy
(glucose) from sunlight
Stored as carbohydrates in their bodies
o Stored as carbohydrate in their bodies
o 6CO2 + 6H2O ---(sunlight)- C6H12O6 + 6O2
Makes glucose (organic molecules) out of inorganic molecules (carbon dioxide
and water)
o Begins all food chains and webs
o Also makes oxygen gas
Photosynthesis: putting together with light
An Overview of Photosynthesis
o Thinking
3. Photosynthesis reaction equation
a. 6CO2 + 6H2O ---(sunlight)- C6H12O6 + 6O2
Photosynthesis: the process of converting light energy into chemical energy
o Reactants: carbon dioxide and water
o Products: glucose and oxygen
o Water and carbon dioxide yield glucose and oxygen
4. Chloroplast, chlorophyll, pigments
a. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts
b. They contain chlorophyll: a green pigment that absorbs light energy
c. Chlorophyll contain disk like membranous sacs called thylakoids
d. Chloroplast: (in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll
and in which photosynthesis takes place.
e. Pigments: the natural coloring matter of animal or plant tissue.
5. Light reactions, dark reactions
a. Light reactions
i. Changes water to oxygen
ii. Produces O2, ATP, and NADPH
6. Calvin cycle
a. Changes CO2 to Sugar
b. Produces Sugar and ATP
7. Electron transport chain
In the mitochondria
o In the cristae
Produces 32-34 ATP
Water is made
Oxygen is a substrate
Glycolysis
In the mitochondria
o In the cristae
Produces 32-34 ATP
Water is made
Oxygen is a substrate
5. Monohybrid cross
a. Crossing involving one pair of contrasting traits
6. Dihybrid cross
a. Dihybrid cross is a cross between two different lines (varieties, strains)
that differ in two observed traits.
7. Complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, sex linked,
multiple alleles, polygenic traits
a. Complete dominance: (in informal use) a unit of heredity that is
transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some
characteristic of the offspring:
b. Incomplete dominance: (in informal use) a unit of heredity that is
transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some
characteristic of the offspring:
c. Codominance: (in informal use) a unit of heredity that is transferred
from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic
of the offspring:
d. Sex linked: (in informal use) a unit of heredity that is transferred from a
parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the
offspring:
e. Multiple alleles: (in informal use) a unit of heredity that is transferred
from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic
of the offspring
f. Polygenic traits: (in informal use) a unit of heredity that is transferred
from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic
of the offspring:
