1 Control Systems and Homeostasis Review Session 1 Regulated variables are kept within normal range by control mechanisms Keeps near set point, or optimum value Control systems local and reflex Input signal Integrating center Output signal 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 1.8 A simple control system Figure 6.16 Steps in a reflex pathway 2016 Pearson Education, Inc Pearson Education, Inc. 1

2 Figure 1.12 Negative and positive feedback 4. Homeostasis is maintained by negative feedback control. Stimulus: change in Response: 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Four Common Bond Types Two strong bonds, Covalent and Ionic require energy to make or break 1) Covalent bonds Chemical Bonds Two weak weaker bonds, Hydrogen and Van der Waals forces require less energy to make or break Pearson Education, Inc. 8 2

3 Polar and Nonpolar Covalent Bonds Nonpolar covalent bonds -electrons are shared equally between atoms C H : Polar covalent bonds - el ectrons are shared unequally O H : Shared electrons spend more time orbiting one nucleus than the other: the atom with a stronger pull on electrons has a partial negative charge (δ - ); the atom with the weaker pull has a partial positive charge (δ + ) 2) Ionic bonds Chemical Bonds Ionic bonds in a salt crystal C H C C O=O δ - O H δ + δ - O C δ + δ - N H δ ) Hydrogen Bonds Chemical Bonds Water is a polar solvent - polar molecules and ions are relatively soluble in H 2 O (hydrophilic) H2O molecules form hydration spheres around ions & small polar molecules to keep them in solution - nonpolar molecules are relatively insoluble in H 2 O (hydrophobic)

4 Acid-base Properties of Solutions Acid-base reactions involve the transfer of H + ions between molecules and solutions. H2O H + + OH Pure water, neutral solution: The ph scale acid - H + donor, increases [H + ] of solution base - H + acceptor, decreases [H + ] of solution H2O is the medium for acid-base reactions and is involved in acid-base reactions. [H + ] = 10-7 M ph = 7 ph = log [H + ] 10-9 M [H + ] = 10-7 M base Dissociation of water: H2O H + + OH 10-5 M acid hydrogen ion hydroxide ion Functional groups partial molecules commonly found in organic compounds; each has specific chemical properties Acts as an acid, releases H + Acts as a base, accepts H Pearson Education, Inc. 4

Biomolecules Monomers Polymers Carbohydrates monosaccharides polysaccharides Lipids fatty acids triglycerides Proteins amino acids polypeptides Nucleic Acids nucleotides DNA, RNA Dehydration (condensation) reactions build up polymers from monomers. A-OH + H-B A B + H2O a water molecule is removed to form the new covalent bond Hydrolysis reactions break down polymers into monomers. A B + H2O A-OH+ H-B a water molecule is added to split the covalent bond 5

6 Carbohydrates Carbohydrates 3 categories contain carbon, hydrogen, & oxygen, usually in a 1:2:1 ratio general formula: (CH 2 O) x n; n = # of C atoms highly polar molecules: many OH groups water soluble simple carbohydrates are sugars (mono- and disaccharides) glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) is a major energy source for cells Carbohydrates Monosaccharides (simple sugars) pentoses - 5 carbons (C 5 H 10 O 5 ) Dehydration Synthesis example hexoses - 6 carbons (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) 6

7 Biol 219 Review Sessiono 1 Fall 2016 Lipids Mostly non-polar molecules, rich in C-H bonds Lipids Fatty acids - building blocks (monomers) of most lipids - long carbon chains with H atoms attached ( hydrocarbon tail ) - one end has a carboxyl group (-COOH) Hydrocarbon tail Mostly insoluble in H 2O Functions: cell membrane (phospholipids, cholesterol) carboxyl group energy reserves (triglycerides ~2x as much as carbs per gram) signaling molecules (steroid hormones and eicosanoids) Lipids Lipids Triglycerides Most lipids are hydrophobic, which means they are insoluble in aqueous solutions but soluble in organic solvents. Most lipids are made from two kinds of molecules: glycerol and fatty acids joined by dehydration synthesis. Main function: Energy storage in adipose tissue, liver and muscle cells Also padding and protection for some organs 7

8 Lipids Phospholipids e.g. phosopholipid bilayer cell membrane hydrophilic heads face water H 2 O inside cell & H 2 O outside cell hydrophobic tails face each other e.g. micelles droplets formed in H 2 O hydrophilic heads face water Lipids Steroids 4 hydrocarbon rings Types: Cholesterol - component of cell membranes; - precursor to other steroids Steroid hormones - e.g., estrogen and testosterone (sex hormones) - other steroid hormones are important in metabolism and mineral balance e.g., cortisol, aldosterone ICF ECF Hydrophobic Lipids Eicosanoids - modified fatty ac ids with a 5 C ring, - many function as paracrine substances ( local hormones ) - direct local cellular activity (vs. true hormones which are released into the bloodstream and travel throughout the body) Types: prostaglandins prostacyclins thromboxanes Proteins Amino Acids building blocks of protein central carbon atom hydrogen atom amino group (-NH 2 ) carboxyl group (-COOH) variable R group can be polar, non-polar, acidic (-) or basic (+) 32 8

10 Nucleic Acids Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) forms the genetic code inside each cell and regulates most of the activities that take place in our cells throughout a lifetime. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) relays instructions from the genes in the cell s nucleus to guide each cell s assembly of amino acids into proteins by the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Fig. 2.3 Purines double ring Adenine (A) Guanine (G) The Nitrogenous Bases Pyrimidines single ring Cytosine (C) Thymine (T) DNA only Uracil (U) RNA only (1) Sugar: DNA = deoxyribose RNA = ribose DNA vs. RNA (2) Nitrogenous bases: DNA = A G C T RNA = A G C U (3) Strands: DNA = double stranded RNA = mostly single stranded

Cytoplasm ATP is the energy currency molecule of the cell Phosphorylation - addition a high-energy phosphate group to ADP to form ATP Membrane Proteins The plasma membrane: - acts as a boundary between the ICF and ECF - has selective permeability - transports molecules into and out of the cell - enables communication with neighboring cells and the extracellular environment - provides structural support for cells and tissues.
