Question
Answer
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 lists contain elements that have ionic forms critical to muscle contraction and action potential generation?(a) C, H, O, N (b) Ca, P, Sc) Cl, Mg, S (d) Ca, Na, K (e) Fe, Mg, P   d) Ca, Na, K  
🗑
Isotopes are:(a) charged atoms that gained or lost electrons (b) atoms of different elements that have the same atomic mass (c) able to release radiation if their nuclei are unstable (d) atoms with unpaired electrons in their outermost shells.   c) able to release radiation if their nuclei are unstable.  
🗑
A physician suspects a patient may hav a thyroid tumor. Which of the following radioisotopes will help the physician confirm the initial diagnosis? (a) iodine-131 (b) thallium-201 (c) radium-26(d) cobalt-60 (e) radon-222   a) iodine-131  
🗑
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  
🗑
Which of the following compounds is a polar covalent? (a) O2 (b) H20 (c) NaCl (d) CH4 (e) Kl   b) H2O  
🗑
Hydrogen bonds:(a) are stronger than either covalent or ionic bonds (b) tend to destabilize large molecules such as proteins (c) are relatively uncommon between molecules in the body (d) form between H and N or O atoms (e) enhance gas exchange in the lun   d) form between H and N or O atoms  
🗑
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

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
