Example: thermostat on a furnace.Low temperature turns on the furnace.Furnace produces a product (heat)Heat turns off the stimulus (the thermostat)Absence of stimulus turns off the furnaceTemperature fallsAt critical temperature, stimulus resumes (thermostat turns
back on)
A BNegative feedback
![Page 8: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Example in the body: (too hot)Body temperature rises (with exercise, outside
temperature) Perspiration/moisture on skin leads to dissipation of
heat, lowering body temperature.
(too cold)Body temperature falls below critical point signal
from brain causes rapid contraction/relaxation (shivering). As a byproduct of the energy use, heat is generated, resulting in elevated body temperatureSignal to shiver decreases.

Matter: occupies space, has mass
: composed of elements
:smallest “bit” of an element is an atom
![Page 23: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Review
1. Contrast matter and energy
2. Distinguish between kinetic and potential energy
![Page 24: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Elements
• Defined by the number of protons
The smallest bit of an element is an atom
Protons: positive charge
: in nucleus of atom: number = elements “atomic number”
![Page 25: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Elements
The smallest bit of an element is an atom
•A neutral atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons
•The number of electrons is a determinant of how the atom behaves/interacts with other elements
![Page 26: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Atoms contain 3 main types of smaller particles
Neutrons: Neutral charge : in nucleus with protons
See p. 27
![Page 27: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Atoms contain 3 main types of smaller particles
Electrons: Tiny :(1/836th the mass of a proton)
: negatively charged: “hover” or “orbit” around nucleus
See p. 27

Change the # of protons = different element
Change the number of electrons = ion+ charge = cation- charge = anion
Change the number of neutrons= different isotope
![Page 29: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Combining atoms
• 2 or more atoms together are a molecule
• 2 or more atoms of different elements are together a compound
• The properties of a compound may be quite different from the properties of the component elements.
![Page 30: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Electrons are arranged in “shells” around the nucleus. These shells are stable when they are completely filled.
The innermost shell is full when 2 electrons are present. The next shell out is full when it contains 8 electrons.
Atoms may link with each other in such a way as to “share” electrons, to fill or “empty” a shell, thereby becoming more stable
More than one atom linked is a molecule. Molecules formed by more than one element are “compounds”
![Page 31: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
In ionic bonds, one atom surrenders an electron, another picks up the electron, both atoms become more stable and oppositely charged as a result. There is an attraction between these ions that are oppositely charged.
In covalent bonds the electrons of atom’s outer shell (the valence shell) are shared, forming a molecule.
Sometimes the electrons are equally shared and the molecules are “non-polar”.
If one atom has the “shared” electrons more than another atom, the molecule may be “polar”
See pgs 33, 34 in text

Atoms can combine to “share” electrons. They share electronsof the valence shell, and are so called “covalent” bonds.
Neutron no charge
Proton (+) charge
Electron (-) charge

The “sharing” is not alwaysequal- the “shared” electrons may spend more time around one of the atoms than the other(s). Where the electron’s spend more time is relatively more negative- the other region relatively positive. In this way, we have a “polar” molecule. (or “dipole”)

Hydrogen bonds:Remember covalent bonds---? Sometimes the
electrons are shared unequally?
When hydrogen bonds covalently with another atom, it gets the electron less often, so develops a slight positive charge, while the other atom takes on a slight negative charge.
The hydrogens with their slight positive bonds are attracted/attract the other atom in different molecules which are slightly negative.
This hydrogen bonding is responsible for surface tension in water.- a fairly weak bond

Isotopes: Isotopes are formed by the variation in numbers of
neutrons in an atom.

Energy: the capacity to do work, make change or movement
comes in a variety of flavors.
Potential energy is “stored” energy: a compressed spring, stretched rubber band, or boulder raised to the top of a hill, or in chemical bonds
![Page 44: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Heat is often released as a result of conversion from potential to kinetic energy:
Think: shivering is the working of muscles quickly– this warms you up.

Reactions:3 types are discussed:
Decomposition: AB A + B(catabolism)
Synthesis: A+B AB(anabolism)
Exchange AB+CD AD+ BC
See p. 37
Note that many (tho’ not all) times, reactions are reversible- the arrows run both directions

Type of reactions: special case
• Oxidation-reduction– The way we break down food– Electrons are transferred between participants
in the reaction– The donor of the electrons is said to be
“oxidized”– The recipient of the electrons is said to be
“reduced”
![Page 51: Anatomy Physiology Structure Function These complement each other](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d6a5503460f94a48f8c/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Reactions- things that speed them up
• Increasing temperature
• Increasing concentration of reagents
• Decreasing particle size (they move faster)
• Enzymes (catalysts): something participating in the reaction-speeding it up- but not changed by it

pH: a measure of the acid/base picture of an environment.
An acid is likely to release hydrogen ions (or “protons”) The more H+ released = stronger acid
A base is able to accept hydrogen ions, thereby removing them from solution. Sometimes bases are described as OH- donors.
A buffer is something that resists changes in the pH of a solution by absorbing H+ or OH-

Proteins: recognizable by the presence of nitrogen, (N) in addition to the C,O,H. They are made up of amino acids.
*what’s an enzyme do?
Uses in the body:structure, movement (muscle contraction), enzymes*, communication (as some hormones), defense (as antibodies-- made by white blood cells.)

Review
1. What are defining features of organic compounds in the body?
2. Name 4 types of organic compounds that make up the major portion of body cells
3. List several types of compounds that would be considered carbohydrates… lipids
4. What are the building block of proteins?

Protein shapes
• Primary: from the linkage of amino acids
• Secondary: hydrogen bonds within the molecule leads to shape effects
• Tertiary: covalent and hydrogen bonds within the molecule further results in more shape change
• Quarternary: joining other formed molecules

Protein shape and function…
• When temperature and pH change outside a particular range, the protein shape and (therefore) function changes. This is called “denaturation”

Enzymes make reactions happen more easily, by lowering the amount of energy required for the reaction.
Some enzymes require cofactors: vitamins and minerals often work this way
Enzymes give a chemical/molecular advantage to a reaction, speeding it up. (see p. 54 in text)

Nucleic acids: like proteins, contain nitrogen, but also phosphorus (P)
DNA- (deoxyribonucleic acid)-- makes up the information determining inherited characteristics. (our genes)
-- regulates body function by controlling the production of protein’s (like enzymes, hormones) and cell functionsRNA-(Ribonucleic acid)- involved in protein synthesis, under “direction” of DNA
Both DNA and RNA are made up of nucleotides (See structure and arrangements on p. 54-57)

“High energy compounds”
Remember potential energy, stored in chemical bonds?
The energy for cellular functions in the body is obtained by breaking bonds of certain chemicals containing phosphate bonds, as in (most notably) ATP
