Chemistry Part 1
Chemistry, 7th Grade
Definiton | Term |
---|---|
Makes up Matter | Atom |
Made up of one type of atom | Element |
Outside nucleus, Negative Charge | Electrons |
In nucleus, No charge | Neutrons |
In Nucleus, Positive charge | Protons |
Atoms of the same element bonded together | Molecule |
made up of two or more different elements that combine chemically | Compounds |
Made of substances that combine physically | Mixture |
2 type of mixtures | Solutions and Suspensions |
two or more substances are mixed evenly Example: Sweat- salt and water | Solutions |
Gas or liquid has another substance evenly spread throughout it | Suspensions |
Living things are made of more than 50% water | Importance of Water |
Needed for chemical reaction to occur | Importance of Water |
Used to transport materials through organisms | Importance of Water |
Made from elements other than carbon | Inorganic Compounds |
Contain carbon; associated with living or once living things | Organic Compounds |
Supply energy for cell processes | Carbohydrates |
Fats and oils; do not mix with water | Lipids |
Made of amino acids | Proteins |
Proteins are made of ______ _____. | Amino Acids |
True or False? Carbohydrates are easier to break down. | True |
True or False? Proteins are harder to break down. | True |
True or False? Proteins make up DNA. | False |
What are 2 things proteins make up? | Structures(like muscle) and Enzymes |
Store coded information for cells in DNA | Nucleic Acids |
Deoxyribonucleic acid, directs activities of the cell | DNA |
Movement of substances through the cell membrane without using energy | Passive transport |
Types of Passive Transport | Diffusion and Osmosis |
Movement of molecules (other than water) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration | Diffusion |
Movement of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a cell membrane | Osmosis |
Type of Osmotic Solutions | Isotonic, Hypertonic, and Hypotonic |
Water enters and leaves at the same rate because the water concentration is equal | Isotonic Solution |
Greater concentration of water inside the cell so more water leaves the cell to try and reach the equilibrium | Hypertonic Solution |
Greater concentration of water outside the cell so more water enters the cell to trying to reach the equilibrium | Hypotonic Solution |
Energy is needed to move molecules across a cell membrane | Active Transport |
Endocytosis and Exocytosis | Types of Active Transport |
Part of a cell membrane forms vesicle around particle (s) and brings it into the cell. | Endocytosis |
A vesicle filled with particle (s) moves to the cell membrane, fuses with it and releases contents to the outside. | Exocytosis |
