HOW WERE WE BORN??CHEMISTRY BEHIND THE CREATION OF LIFE

BIOLOGICAL CONCEPT

Have you ever wondered about

what are these made up of ??

Sperms

Sperms are largely made up of proteins and water..

protein and water forms the chemistry here!!!

PROTEINS

• Proteins are bio polymers

• It consist of long chain amino acid residue connected through

peptide linkage

• Thus, the proteins are made up of Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon

and hydrogen. These are nothing but the chemical elements.

OVUM

The largest cells in the

human body

It consist of cytoplasm and

mitochondria.

Cytoplasm

The Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills a cell

The cytoplasm has two major elements: the cytosol and inclusions.

CYTOSOL : It makes up about 70% of the cell volume and is composed of water, salts

and organic molecules.

INCLUSIONS: It contains granules of energy-storage materials such as starch,

glycogen, or polyhydroxybutyrate.

Mitochondria

Their main job is energy conversion

These convert glucose into energy by chemical known as ATP

Here, Adenosine triphosphate is also a chemical that contains

phosphorous, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen

How Sperm is pushed towards ovum??

Sperm is pushed towards ovum by cervical mucus, which is made up of

90% of water.

Water is a chemical compound, which contains hydrogen and oxygen

Fertilization

The sperm and ovum contains their own 23 single chromosomes before

combining.

When the sperm and ovum transfers their 23 single chromosomes, it get

paired up forming 23 pairs of chromosomes.

These chromosomes are known as genetic blueprints, because they

contain the DNA.

DNA is known as DEOXY RIBONUCLEIS ACID

DNA

The molecules that encodes the genetic instructions.

It is a nucleic acid.

The simpler units of DNA are known as nucleotide, which contains base pairs.

Base pairs: guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine

The elements here are nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and

oxygen.

BIRTH – The Creation of Life

Thus a human body is composed mainly of

Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen.

WITHOUT CHEMISTRY NOTHING CAN EXIST!!

THANK YOU !!!
