Section 1 Nature of Matter

An atom is the smallest unit of matter that cannot be broken down by chemical means. As shown below, an atom consists of three kinds of particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons.

Elements An element is a pure substance made of only one kind of atom. Elements differ in the number of protons their atoms contain. The number of neutrons in an atom is often but not always equal to the number of protons in the atom.

Atoms can join with other atoms to form stable substances. A force that joins atoms is called a chemical bond. A compound is a substance made of the joined atoms of two or more different elements.

Covalent Bonds The arrangement of their electrons determines how atoms bond together. An atom becomes stable when its outer electron level is full. If the outer electron level is not full, an atom will react readily with atoms that can provide electrons to fill its outer level.

Hydrogen Bonds In a water molecule, the shared electrons are attracted more strongly by the oxygen nucleus than by the hydrogen nuclei. Molecules with an unequal distribution of electrical charge, such as water molecules, are called polar molecules. This attraction between two water molecules is an example of a hydrogen bonda weak chemical attraction between polar molecules.

Ionic Bonds Sometimes atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons. An atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons is called an ion. Ions have an electrical charge because they contain an unequal number of electrons and protons. Ions of opposite charge may interact to form an ionic bond.

Water in Living Things


Storage of Energy Many organisms release excess heat through water evaporation. In organisms, this ability to control temperature enables cells to maintain a constant internal temperature when the external temperature changes. In this way, water helps cells maintain homeostasis.

Cohesion and Adhesion Cohesion is an attraction between substances of the same kind. Because of cohesion, water and other liquids form thin films and drops. Molecules at the surface of water are linked together by hydrogen bonds like a crowd of people linked by holding hands. This attraction between water molecules causes a condition known as surface tension.

Aqueous Solutions
A solution is a mixture in which one or more substances are evenly distributed in another substance. Many important substances in the body have been dissolved in blood or other aqueous fluids. Because these substances can dissolve in water, they can more easily move within and between cells.

Polarity The polarity of water enables many substances to dissolve in water. When ionic compounds are dissolved in water, the ions become surrounded by polar water molecules. The resulting solution is a mixture of water molecules and ions.

Lipids In a saturated fatty acid, all of the carbon atoms in the chain are bonded to two hydrogen atoms (except the carbon atom on the end, which is bonded to three hydrogen atoms). In an unsaturated fatty acid, some of the carbon atoms are linked by a double covalent bond, each with only one hydrogen atom, producing kinks in the molecule.

Enzyme Specificity A substance on which an enzyme acts during a chemical reaction is called a substrate. Enzymes act only on specific substrates. An enzymes shape determines its activity. Typically, an enzyme is a large protein with one or more deep folds on its surface. These folds form pockets called active sites.

Enzymes, continued
Enzyme Specificity An enzyme acts only on a specific substrate because only that substrate fits into its active site.
Step 1 When an enzyme first attaches to a substrate, the enzymes shape changes slightly. Step 2 At an active site, an enzyme and a substrate interact, reducing the reactions activation energy. Step 3 The reaction is complete when products have formed.
