QuestionAnswer
Define Chemical Elements: the building blocks to all forms of matter
Name the main chemical elements in the body O, C, H, N (make up 96% of body weight)
Atomic Mass is calculated by: sum of the masses of it's protons, neutrons and electrons
Isotopes are different atoms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
Some isotopes are called Radioisotopes, they are unstable and may emit radiation that can be monitored with radiation detectors.
What is the outermost shell of an electron? Valence Shell
For an atom to achieve stability... an atom will tend to either empty their valence shell or fill it to the max extent (8) which is achieved by giving up or sharing with other atoms
Inert elements are: elements that have a full valence shell
An ionic bond is when outer energy level electrons are transferred from one atom to another
An ion is an atom that has a positive or negative charge because it has unequal numbers of protons and electrons
A cation is a positively charged ion (when the protons exceed the number of electrons)
An anion is a negatively charged ion (when the electrons exceed the protons)
Covalent bonds are when there is sharing of pairs of outer-energy-level electrons
Hydrogen bonds are when two other atoms (usually O or N) associate with a hydrogen atom
What factors determine if a chemical (metabolic) reaction will occur 1. The concentration of particles 2. The speed at which particles are traveling (influenced by temperature and size) 3. Activation energy 4. Proper orientation of the colliding partivles.
Synthesis reactions are When two or more atoms, ions or molecules combine to form new and larger molecules. ex: N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3
Anabolism is all the synthesis reactions that occur in your body collectively
Catabolic Reactions are when chemical bonds are broken. AB --> A + B
Exchange Reactions involve the replacement of one atom or atoms by another atom or atoms ex: HCl + NaHCO3 --> H2CO3 + NaH ex: Glucose 1p --> Glucose 6p <--
Oxidation - Reduction reactions electrons are taken from the atom being oxidized by the atom being reduced.
Exergonic reaction Energy in
Endergenic reaction Energy out

Which of the following is an ion and why? (a) O2-because it contains an unpaired electron in its outer shell. (b) Na+ because it has lost an electron (c) Co-60 beause it is radioactive (d) H2 because it is sharing electrons b) Na+ because it has lost an electron

In a chemical reation, (a) the starting materials are called products (b) the ending substances are called reactants (c) electrons are exchanged or shared to make atos more stable. (d) matter is created or destroyed c) electrons are exchanged or shared to make atoms more stable.
The sum of all the chmeical reactions that occur in the body is called (a) metabolism (b) anabolism (c) synthesis(d) catabolism (e) exchange a) metabolism
The kinetic energy needed to break the chemical bonds in reactant molecules is called (a) chemical energy (b) positional energy (c) activation energy (d) conservation energy (e) potential energy c) activation energy
Which one of the following influence the rate of a chemial reaction? (a) the concentraion of the reactants (b) the temperature (c) the presence of catalysts of enzymes (d) both A and B are correct (e) A, B, and C are correct e) A, B, and C are correct
Which of the following never has an alkaline pH in a healthy person? (a) gastric juice (b) urine (c) semen (d) blood (e) pancreatic juice a) gastric juice

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
