Matter: anything that occupies space and has mass (solid, liquid, or gas)
Mass: amount of matter in an object
Weight: gravitational force acting on object
3
Elements and Atoms
Element:
• simplest form of matter
• Example: C, H, O, N, Ca, K, Na,
Cl
Atom:
• smallest particle of an element
• contains protons, electrons,
and neutrons

Subatomic Particles
Polar molecules, like water, have a positive end and a negative end
A hydrogen bond forms when the positive end of one polar molecule is
weakly attracted to the negative end of another polar molecule
The hydrogen bond is a weaker bond than the ionic or covalent bonds
11
Polar Covalent Bonds
Molecule:
• 2 or more atoms chemically combine
• Example: water (H2O)
Compound:
• chemical combination of 2 or more different types of atoms
• Example: NaCl

Types of Chemical Reactions
Synthesis reaction:
• build a new molecule
• energy-requiring
• Example: ADP + P ATP
Decomposition reaction:
• break down molecule
• energy-releasing
• Example: ATP ADP + P

Energy and Chemical Reactions 2
Exchange reaction:
• combination of synthesis and decomposition reactions
• Example: AB + CD AC + BD
• Example: HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O
Reversible reactions occur when the reaction can run in the opposite
direction, so that the products are converted back to the original
reactants.
CO2 + H2O ⇄ H+ + HCO3
Equilibrium: when the rate of product formation equals the rate of
reactant formation

Energy
Carbon’s ability to form covalent bonds with other atoms makes it possible
the formation of large, diverse, complicated molecules for life.
Characteristics of Carbohydrates
• Contain C, H, O
• H:O is a 2:1 ratio
• Example: C6H12O6
• Monosaccharides are the building blocks.
• Monosaccharide:
• simple sugar (1 sugar)
• Examples: glucose and fructose
26
Carbohydrates 1
Disaccharide:
• 2 sugars
• Example: glucose + fructose = sucrose
• Example: glucose + galactose = lactose
Polysaccharide:
• many sugars
• Example: starch, grain, vegetables, glycogen
27
Functions of Carbohydrates
Contain C, H, O
Contain a lower proportion of oxygen to carbon than do carbohydrates
Insoluble in water
Examples: fats, oils, cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids
29
Functions of Lipids
Saturated:
• single covalent bonds between carbon atoms
• Examples: beef, pork, whole milk, cheese, eggs
Unsaturated:
• one or more double covalent bonds between carbons
• Examples: olive oil, fish oil, sunflower oil

Characteristics of Proteins
Contains C, H, O, N
Amino acids are the building blocks
20 different naturally occurring amino acids
Amino acids contain an amine (NH2) group and carboxyl group
Amino acids are not stored, so a daily supply is required

Functions of Proteins
Composed of C, H, O, N, P
Examples: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid)
Nucleotides are the building blocks
Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogen base, phosphate, and 5-carbon
sugar
42
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
It consists of adenosine (the sugar ribose with the organic base adenine)
and three phosphate groups.
