7 arbon-based Life Essential elements Include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen Make up 96% of living matter A few other elements Make up the remaining 4% of living matter opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings
8 arbon is Special The backbone of biological molecules All living organisms are made up of chemicals based mostly on this one element --> organic chemistry The bonding versatility of carbon allows it to form many diverse molecules, varying in length and shape opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings

10 Proteins Proteins have many roles inside the cell Some serve as structural elements Enzymes serve as catalysts to biochemical reactions in cell Built from amino acids organic molecules possessing both amino group [N bonded to 2 and 1 ] and carboxyl group [] Differ in their properties due to differing side chains, called R groups opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings
11 Enzymes Are a type of protein that acts as a catalyst, speeding up chemical reactions 1 Active site is available for a molecule of substrate, the reactant on which the enzyme acts. Substrate (sucrose) 2 Substrate binds to enzyme. Glucose Enzyme (sucrase) 2 Fructose 4 Products are released. Figure 5.16 opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings 3 Substrate is converted to products.

These geometric shapes and letters are simple symbols for the nucleotides in a small section of one chain of a DNA molecule. Genetic information is encoded in specific sequences of the four types of nucleotides (their names are abbreviated here as A, T,, and G).

25 The Modern Tree of Life opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings
26 The Three Domains of Life At the highest level, life is classified into three domains Bacteria Archaea Eukarya The species concept is tricky. Its normally defined by the ability to reproduce (and by a similar appearance) but many organisms can clone or reproduce asexually, and microbes don t look very different from each other. opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings
27 Life s three domains 4 µm Bacteria are the most diverse and widespread prokaryotes and are now divided among multiple kingdoms. Each of the rod-shaped structures in this photo is a bacterial cell. DMAIN ARAEA Figure 1.15 Many of the prokaryotes known 0.5 µm as archaea live in Earth s extreme environments, such as salty lakes and boiling hot springs. Domain Archaea includes multiple kingdoms. The photo shows a colony composed of many cells. Protists (multiple kingdoms) 100 µm are unicellular eukaryotes and their relatively simple multicellular relatives.pictured here is an assortment of protists inhabiting pond water. Scientists are currently debating how to split the protists into several kingdoms that better represent evolution and diversity. Kingdom Plantae consists of multicellula eukaryotes that carry out photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy to food. Kindom Fungi is defined in part by the nutritional mode of its members, such as this mushroom, which absorb nutrientsafter decomposing organic material. Kindom Animalia consists of multicellular eukaryotes that ingest other organisms. opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings
28 Domain Bacteria and domain Archaea onsist of prokaryotes, cells without nuclei Domain Eukarya, the eukaryotes Includes the various protist kingdoms and the kingdoms Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia Simple, single-celled organisms or microbes dominate life on Earth: 5000x more mass in ocean microbes than all humans combined opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings
29 ells and Energy We know cells are the ingredients of life... And that they carry the instructions for life... But how do they MAKE LIFE? Light energy ESYSTEM ells need: Materials Photosynthesis in chloroplasts ellular respirationin mitochondria rganic + 2 molecules Energy ATP powers most cellular work Figure 9.2 opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings eat energy
30 ATP ells can build incredible variety of molecules from limited set of starting materials --> due to enzyme variety and... ATP! Used to store and release energy for nearly all chemical manufacturing nce produced, can be used to provide energy for any cellular reaction opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings
31 ATP ompletely recyclable! opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings
32 ategorizing Life by arbon and Energy Metabolism comes down to needing primary raw material of life carbon and energy arbon sources Eating = heterotroph Environment = autotroph Energy sources Sunlight = photo(synthesis) rganic compounds (food) = chemo Neither = inorganic chemicals w/o from environment opyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin ummings
