Chemical Elements of Living Things
•Over 98% of living things are made up of 6 main chemicals..
…C, H, O, N, P, S which join together in different ratios to form all the molecules of
living things.
Defn: The molecules in organisms are known as biochemicals (or biomolecules).

Cx(H2O)y
x is approx = yThere are twice as many hydrogen molecules
as oxygen molecules

Carbohydrates are split into three main groups
1.Single sugar unit: monosaccharide (The basic
sugar unit )
![Page 12: The Chemicals of Life All things (matter), both living and nonliving things are made up of chemicals. **It was once thought that living things were different](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0231a28abf838cd3ca4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

2.
Disaccharide: 2 sugar units
3.
Polysaccharide: Many sugar units joined together
![Page 13: The Chemicals of Life All things (matter), both living and nonliving things are made up of chemicals. **It was once thought that living things were different](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0231a28abf838cd3ca4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

MonosaccharidesThese are
single sugar molecules• There are the building blocks of other important
carbohydrates
Monosaccharides are:simple sugarssoluble in watersweet to taste
Examples: glucose, fructoseFound in: fruit
![Page 14: The Chemicals of Life All things (matter), both living and nonliving things are made up of chemicals. **It was once thought that living things were different](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0231a28abf838cd3ca4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

DisaccharidesThese are
• two monosaccharide sugar units joined together –(double sugar)
• soluble in water
• sweet to taste
• May be reducing or non-reducing sugarsExamples: sucrose, lactose, maltose
Found in: table sugar, milk
![Page 16: The Chemicals of Life All things (matter), both living and nonliving things are made up of chemicals. **It was once thought that living things were different](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0231a28abf838cd3ca4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Reducing Sugars•All monosaccharides and some disaccharides are reducing sugars..i.e. capable of reducing benedicts solution (benedicts solution changes from blue to orange/red)
Benedicts solution is used to determine if a food is a reducing sugar
Benedicts solution is a turquoise liquidcontaining copper ions (Cu 2+).
![Page 17: The Chemicals of Life All things (matter), both living and nonliving things are made up of chemicals. **It was once thought that living things were different](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0231a28abf838cd3ca4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Reducing Sugar
• Is a simple carbohydrate that turns benedicts soln from blue to red/orange.

18
PolysaccharidesThese are• Long chains of monosaccharide sugar molecules joined
together• Not soluble in water (so large) • Do not taste sweet • They are used for energy storage (glycogen
and starch)• They are also structural, cellulose (fibre)
Example: Glycogen, starch, celluloseFound in: Bread, pasta, cereals

Metabolic Role of Carbohydate
Are the primary sources of energy
• glucose (carbohydrate) is an immediate source of energy
• Animals Catabolic
• Plants Anabolic
![Page 21: The Chemicals of Life All things (matter), both living and nonliving things are made up of chemicals. **It was once thought that living things were different](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0231a28abf838cd3ca4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Metabolism Carbs..
• Respiration – energy is released when glucose is broken down – catabolism
Happens in humans, animalsEqn: …• Catabolic Reaction: Big molecules are broken down
into simpler molecules
• Photosynthesis – glucose molecules are made from carbon dioxide and water using the sun’s energy – anabolism
Eqn: …• Anabolic Reaction: Smaller (simple) molecules are
built up into bigger (complex) molecules

Minerals
What are minerals?• They are salts formed from the earth’s
rocks. • These mineral salts then dissolve in water
and are absorbed by plants.
• NB Minerals are required by organisms in very small amounts.

Minerals and Plants
Plants absorb minerals through their roots.They use: • Calcium (Ca) to make cell walls• Magnesium (Mg) to make the pigment
chlorophyll • Nitrates (N) to make proteins • Phosphates (P) to make DNA
![Page 47: The Chemicals of Life All things (matter), both living and nonliving things are made up of chemicals. **It was once thought that living things were different](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0231a28abf838cd3ca4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Minerals and AnimalsAnimals get their minerals in the food they eat.
They use • Calcium (Ca) to make bones and teeth..
osteoporosis • Iron (Fe) to make the pigment haemoglobin (which
helps red blood cell carry oxygen).. Anemia • Sodium (Na) for the regulation of the osmotic
balance (water content) of cells and the blood.

Physical properties of water• water is slow to heat up and cool down –
helps to keep our bodies at constant temp.
• Water good absorber of energy. It absorbs a lot of heat as it evaporates, so sweating and transpiration cools animals and plants. This helps to keep temperature steady.
• Participates in the movement of material in and out of cells.
• Water controls cell shape.

Chemical properties of water
• It is a universal solvent for transporting substances in blood (e.g. food and oxygen) or in plants (e.g. minerals)
• The medium for metabolism i.e. chemical reactions take place in it.
• It is a reactant/product photosynthesis and respiration
