IsotopesIsotopes
Isotopes result when an element has a varying number of neutrons resulting
in unexpected atomic weights.
Isotopes can be radioisotopes, be stable, or exhibit other properties.

Pauli Exclusion PrinciplePauli Exclusion Principle
• No two electrons can occupy the same orbital layer and have the same spin orientation.
MoleculesMolecules
• Molecules are made up of two or more atoms.
• Atoms form molecules to fill their outermost electron shells or orbitals.
• Chemical bonds bind the atoms together.
Chemical BondingChemical Bonding
• Valency refers to the number of chemical bonds the atom can form with other atoms – its combining capacity.
• Valence electrons refer to the number of electrons the atom must gain or lose.
• Octet Rule says that atoms are more stable when the outer shell is full.

So You Go Into A Restaurant…What Is One of the First Thing
They Bring You?
A Glass of Water! Why?
One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a
University study.
Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory,
trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer
screen.
Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by
45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
• Water is one of the most essential elements to good health.• It is necessary for the digestion and absorption of food• It helps maintain proper muscle tone.• It supplies oxygen and nutrients to the cells.• It rids the body of wastes and serves as a natural air
conditioning system. • Health officials emphasize the importance of drinking at
least eight glasses of clean water each and every day to maintain good health.

Why is pH Important?
• When pH goes off microbes in the body can change shape, mutate, become pathogenic, constructive enzymes turn destructive, oxygen delivery to cells suffer, mineral assimilation can getthrown off and organs of your body can become compromised, like yourheart or brain.
• The pH balance of the human bloodstream is recognized by all medical physiology texts as one of the most important biochemicalbalances in all of human body chemistry.
• All biochemical reactions andelectrical (life) energy are under pH control.
• The higher (more alkaline) the pH of a substance or solution, the more electrical resistance that substance or solution holds. Therefore, electricity (and the nerve impulse) travels slower with higher pH.

“Modern agriculture and food-preservation methods have done serious damage to the human diet. The detrimental effects on the human body caused by acidic wastes from processed food and chemical additives are myriad. Byproducts of the foods we eat, acidic wastes are the common denominator in all degenerative diseases. When acidic wastes accumulate, they can cause organs to malfunction and degenerate. Balancing the body's acid-alkaline pH factor is a dynamic way to improve health. “
Felicia Drury Kliment

• Stabilized the pH inside a cell
• Is added to culture media to improve bacterial growth

• Energy Storage Units (Fats)
CompositionComposition
• They consist of fats (1-3 fatty acids attached to a glycerol unit), phospholipids (glycerol backbone, two fatty acid tails, a hydrophilic head that contains a phosphate group and a polar group, and a hydrophobic tail), sterols (lipids with no fatty acids, have a backbone of four fused-together carbon rings), and waxes (long chain fatty acids taightly packed and linked to long-chain alcohols or carbon rings).
Formation of a TriglycerideFormation of a Triglyceride
Simple lipids are fats or triglycerides – contain an alcohol called glycerol and at least one fatty acid.
Fat cells -- note nucleus and rim of cytoplasm pushed to one side by the accumulation of fat. The lipid itself has been dissolved out in fixation. In the center of the picture, in the space bounded by the four large fat cells, there is a small, round cross-cut of a capillary with a dark, shrunken red blood cell inside.
Fat is formed when a molecule of glycerol combines with 1, 2, or 3 fatty acid molecules.

Anabolic-androgenic steroids are man-made substances related to male sex hormones.
Can be taken orally or injected, typically in cycles of weeks or months.
AtherosclerosisAtherosclerosis
• Atherosclerosis (ath"er-o-skleh-RO'sis) comes from the Greek words athero (meaning gruel or paste) and sclerosis (hardness). It's the name of the process in which deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium and other substances build up in the inner lining of an artery. This buildup is called plaque. It usually affects large and medium-sized arteries.

Nearly 5 million Americans are living with heart failure, and 550,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.
Picture A shows atherosclerotic deposits in coronary arteries, which reduce blood flow and impair oxygen and nutrient supply to millions of heart muscle cells. The coronary arteries of patients with angina pectoris typically look like this.
Picture B shows the coronary arteries of a patient who died from a heart attack. On top of the atherosclerotic deposits, a blood clot formed which completely interrupted the blood flow through this artery. This is called a heart attack. Millions of heart muscle cells die off, leaving the heart muscle permanently impaired or leading to the death of the patient.

Saturated and Unsaturated FatsSaturated and Unsaturated Fats
• Saturated fat is generally solid at room temperature and it's usually from animal sources.
• It's found in lard, butter, hard margarine, cheese, whole milk and anything these ingredients are used in, such as cakes, chocolate, biscuits, pies and pastries.
• It's also the white fat you can see on red meat and underneath poultry skin.
• The less saturated fat you eat, the better - a high intake has been linked with an increased risk of coronary heart disease.

Proteins are made up of amino acids therefore you often hear
that the Building Blocks of Proteins are Amino Acids.
Amino Acid with Alpha CarbonAmino Acid with Alpha Carbon
Amino acids consists of an amino group, carboxyl group, hydrogen atoms, and an R group. The R group is simply a hydrocarbon chain of any length.
SterioisomersSterioisomers
• Polypeptide bonds form between amino acids to form polypeptide chains.
• Amino acid sequence is primary protein structure.
• The secondary structure is the bonding pattern of the amino acids (e.g. helix, sheet, etc.).
• The tertiary structure consists of the domain, where the sheets or helixes fold on each other and become stable.
• The quaternary structure consists of several polypeptide chains that form advanced proteins such as human leukocyte antigens.
Denaturation of ProteinsDenaturation of Proteins
High-protein diets have become a popular way to lose weight because emerging research has hinted that protein may be able to satisfy hunger better than either fats or carbohydrates.
We need protein at all stages of life, for a variety of bodily functions.
However, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 56 grams a day for men and 46 grams a day for women.
This explains why protein is not on the base of the food pyramid. Carbohydrates are there because they provide energy for all our body processes.
Nucleic Nucleic AcidsAcids
Nucleic acids consist of nucleotides (sugar, one phosphate group, and a Nitrogen containing base).
The different nucleic acids include DNA and RNA, and they are used in storage and retrieval of heritable information.
