The Chemistry of Life
What are living creatures made of?
Why do we have to eat?

Regents Biology
96% of living organisms is made of: carbon (C) oxygen (O) hydrogen (H) nitrogen (N)
Elements of Life

Regents Biology
Organic vs. Inorganic Organic living material that contains
carbon (C)
Examples: Glucose (C6H12O6) & Starch
Inorganic Non-living material (no carbon)
Examples: Water (H2O)
Oxygen (O)
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Regents Biology
Molecules of Life What are bodies made of?
carbohydrates Glucose (simple sugars) small Starch large
Proteins Amino acids fats (lipids) nucleic acids
DNA, RNA

Regents Biology
Why do we eat? We eat to take in more of these chemicals
Food for building materials to make more of us (cells) for growth for repair
Food to make energy calories to make ATP
ATP

Regents Biology
What do we need to eat? Foods to give you more building blocks
& more energy
carbohydrates proteins fats nucleic acids vitamins minerals, salts water

Regents Biology
Water 65% of your body is H2O water is inorganic
doesn’t contain carbon
The rest of your body is made of carbon organic = made of carbon & living
carbohydrates
Proteins ALL of these Fats contain carbon! nucleic acids
Don’t forget water

Regents Biology
Building large molecules of life Chain together smaller molecules
building block molecules
Big molecules built from little molecules

Regents Biology
Small molecules = building blocks
Bond them together = polymers
Building large organic molecules

Regents Biology
Example of synthesis
amino acids protein
amino acids = building block
Proteins are synthesized by bonding amino acids
