Decomposition Reactions

To keep it simple:

AB A + B

Releases energy (from a covalent bond )

Hydrolysis—Decomposition reaction with water

E.g., food digestion

Catabolism—Sum of all the body’s decomposition reactions

Synthesis Reactions

It’s simply this:

A + B AB

Usually requires energy

Forms new bonds

Dehydration synthesis

Removal of H•OH between molecules…so it makes water…

Anabolism—Sum of the body’s synthesis reactions

An exergonic reaction is one in which the bond being broken has more energy than the one formed

so that extra energy is released, usually as heat (occurs during catabolism of food molecules).

An endergonic reaction is just the opposite and thus requires that energy be added, usually from a molecule called ATP, to form a bond, as in bonding

amino acid molecules together to form proteins.

Key NoteWhen energy is

exchanged, heat is produced. Heat raises local

temperatures, but cells cannot capture it or use it to

perform work.

• Most important body chemical

• Excellent solvent

• High heat capacity

• Essential chemical reactant

Inorganic Acids and Bases

Acid—Releases hydrogen ions (H+) into solution

E.g., HCl H+ + Cl-

Base—Removes hydrogen ions from solution

E.g., NaOH + H+ Na+ + H•0H

pHA measure of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution

Neutral solution—pH = 7

Acidic solution—pH below 7

Basic solution—pH above 7

Buffers

Maintain pH within normal limits (pH 7.35 to pH 7.45)

Release hydrogen ions if body fluid is too basic

Absorb hydrogen ions if body fluid is too acidic

Organic Compounds

Contain carbon, hydrogen, and usually oxygen

Important classes of organic compounds include:

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

SUMMARY OF BODY CHEMISTRY

Carbohydrates provide most of the energy needed for life and include sugars, starches,

glycogen, and cellulose.Some carbohydrates are converted to other

substances which are used to build structures and to generate ATP.

Other carbohydrates function as food reserves.Carbohydrates are divided into three major

groups based on their size: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides

LIPIDS

Triglycerides are the most plentiful lipids in the body and provide protection, insulation, and energy (both

immediate and stored).Phospholipids are important membrane components.

Steroids include

Sex hormones

Bile salts

Some vitamins

Cholesterol

Nucleic acids are huge organic molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and

phosphorus.Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) forms the genetic

code inside each cell and thereby regulates most of the activities that take place in our cells

throughout a lifetime.Ribonucleic acid (RNA) relays instructions from

the genes in the cell’s nucleus to guide each cell’s assembly of amino acids into proteins by the

ribosomes.The basic units of nucleic acids are nucleotides,

composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group.
