HOW WERE WE BORN?? CHEMISTRY BEHIND THE CREATION OF LIFE
BIOLOGICAL CONCEPT
Have you ever wondered about what are these made up of ??
Sperms Sperms are largely made up of proteins and water.. protein and water forms the chemistry here!!!
PROTEINS Proteins are bio polymers It consist of long chain amino acid residue connected through peptide linkage Thus, the proteins are made up of Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. These are nothing but the chemical elements.
OVUM The largest cells in the human body It consist of cytoplasm and mitochondria.
Cytoplasm The Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills a cell The cytoplasm has two major elements: the cytosol and inclusions. CYTOSOL : It makes up about 70% of the cell volume and is composed of water, salts and organic molecules. INCLUSIONS: It contains granules of energy-storage materials such as starch, glycogen, or polyhydroxybutyrate.
Mitochondria Their main job is energy conversion These convert glucose into energy by chemical known as ATP Here, Adenosine triphosphate is also a chemical that contains phosphorous, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen
How Sperm is pushed towards ovum?? Sperm is pushed towards ovum by cervical mucus, which is made up of 90% of water. Water is a chemical compound, which contains hydrogen and oxygen
Fertilization The sperm and ovum contains their own 23 single chromosomes before combining. When the sperm and ovum transfers their 23 single chromosomes, it get paired up forming 23 pairs of chromosomes. These chromosomes are known as genetic blueprints, because they contain the DNA. DNA is known as DEOXY RIBONUCLEIS ACID
DNA The molecules that encodes the genetic instructions. It is a nucleic acid. The simpler units of DNA are known as nucleotide, which contains base pairs. Base pairs: guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine The elements here are nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
BIRTH The Creation of Life Thus a human body is composed mainly of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen. WITHOUT CHEMISTRY NOTHING CAN EXIST!!
THANK YOU !!!
