生物与制药工程专业英语第二三五单元翻译

Biologists and chemists divide compounds into two principal classes, inorganic and organic. Inorganic compounds are defined as molecules, usually small, that typically lack carbon and in which ionic bonds may play an important role. Inorganic compounds include water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many salts, acids, and bases.

生物学家和化学家分裂成两个主要种类化合物、无机和有机。无机化合物被定义为分子,通常小,通常缺乏的碳离子束缚,那么它就能起到重要的作用。无机化合物包括水、氧气、二氧化碳和许多盐、酸、和根据地。

All living organisms require a wide variety of inorganic compounds for growth, repair, maintenance, and reproduction. Water is one of the most important, as well as one of the rmost abundant, of these compounds, and it is particularly vital to microorganisms. Outside the cell, nutrients are dissolved in water, which facilitates their passage through cell membranes. And inside the cell , water is the medium for most chemical reactions. In fact, water is by far the most abundant component of almost all living cells. Water makes up 5% to 95% or more of each cell, the average being between 65% and 75%. Simply stated, no organism can survive without water 所有生物体需要多种无机化合物的增长、维修、维护、和繁衍。水是其中一个最重要的、也是最丰富的,这类化合物,这是特别至关重要,微生物。细胞外,营养溶解在水中,有利于他们通过细胞膜。和进入细胞,水介质对大多数化学反应。事实上,水是迄今为止最丰富的组件几乎所有的活细胞。水产生的5% ~ 95%或更多的每一个细胞,平均在65%和75%之间。简单的说,没有生物能生还,没有水。

Water has structural and chemical properties that make it particularly suitable for its role in living cells. As we discussed, the total charge on the water molecule is neutral, but the Oxygen region of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the hydrogen region has a slightly positive charge. Any molecule having such an unequal distribution of charges is called a polar molecule. The polar nature of water gives it four characteristics that make it a useful medium for living cells

水具有的结构和化学特性使得其尤为适合在活细胞中发挥作用。像我们讨论过的一样,总金额在水分子是中立的,但氧区域的分子都有稍微否定的电荷和氢地区稍微正电荷。有这样一个任何分子分配不均等的指控被称为一个极性分子。极地自然的水给它有四个特点,使它成为一个有用的活细胞中。

First, every water molecule is capable of forming four hydrogen bonds with nearby water molecules. This property results in a strong attraction between water molecules. Because of this strong attraction, a great deal of heat is required to separate water molecules from each other to form water vapor, thus, water has a relatively high boiling point (1OO℃). Since water has such a high boiling point, it exists in the liquid state on most of the earth's surface, Furthermore, the hydrogen bonding between water molecules affects the density of water, depending on whether it occurs as ice or a liquid. for example, the hydrogen bonds in the crystalline structure of water (ice) make it more spacious. As s result， ice has fewer molecules than an equal volume of liquid water. This makes its crystalline structure less dense than an equal olume of liquid water.this makes its crystalline strucrure less dense than liquid water. It is for this reason that ice floats and can serve as an insulating layer on the surfaces of lakes and streams that harbor living organisms.

首先,每个水分子的氢键能力四个形成与附近的水分子。这个属性导致水分子间有强烈的吸引力。因为这个强烈的吸引力,大量的热被要求从彼此分开的水分子形成的水蒸气,因此,水有一个相对高沸点(1 OO℃)。由于水有这样一个高沸点,它存在于液体状态对大部分的地球 表面,此外,水分子间的氢键的密度与水的影响,取决于它是冰或液体。例如,氢键在水晶结构水
