Question
Answer
Atom   basic unit of matter  
🗑
Nucleus   center of atom - protons and neutrons  
🗑
Proton   positive  
🗑
Neutron   neutral  
🗑
Electron   negative and orbits the nucleus  
🗑
Chemical element   pure substance consisting of one type of atom  
🗑
Isotopes   same element different electron #  
🗑
Isotopes are identified by...   their mass numbers  
🗑
Isotopes have the same chemical properties because...   they have the same number of electrons  
🗑
Chemical compound   Substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions  
🗑
Chemical bonds   holds compounds together  
🗑
Covalent bond   electrons are shared  
🗑
Ionic bond   electrons are transferred  
🗑
Molecule   structure when atom are joined by covalent bonds  
🗑
Van der Waals forces   Slight attractions between oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules  
🗑
Water is   polar  
🗑
Water is polar because...   the oxygen pulls the electrons more than the hydrogen  
🗑
Hydrogen bonds   strongest bonds between molecules  
🗑
Cohesion   attraction between molecules of the same substance  
🗑
Adhesion   attraction between molecules of the different substance  
🗑
Mixture   Material with elements or compounds physically mixed but not chemically combined  
🗑
Greatest solvent in the world   water  
🗑
Suspension   water and nondisolved materials  
🗑
Solute   dissolved substance  
🗑
Solvent   substance in which the solute dissolves  
🗑
Water's neutral because   the number of hydroxide ions is equal to the number to the number of hydrogen ions.  
🗑
pH scale indicates the number of   hydrogen ions  
🗑
The number of ions increases ____ times as you go down one on the pH scale   10 times  
🗑
Acids   pH below 7, H+ ions in water, more H+ ions than water  
🗑
Bases   alkaline, produces OH- ions, pH above 7, lower H+ than water  
🗑
Carbon rules because   it can bond to lots of stuff  
🗑
Polymerization   process by which macromolecules are formed  
🗑
Polymers   chains of monomers  
🗑
4 groups of organic compounds   carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins  
🗑
Carbohydrates   starches and sugars, main source of energy, stregnth and rigidity in plants and some animals  
🗑
Monosaccharides   single sugar molecules  
🗑
Animals store excess sugar in   glycogen  
🗑
Plants store excess sugar in   plant starch  
🗑
Lipids   made of carbon and hydrogen, fats oils and waxes, glycerol combines with fatty acids to make them, used as parts of biological membranes, to store energy, and as chemical messengers  
🗑
Saturated   all single bonds between carbon atoms  
🗑
Unsaturated   at least on carbon=carbon double bond  
🗑
Polyunsaturated   more than one double bond  
🗑
Nucleic acids contain   hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, phosphorous  
🗑
Nucleotides   monomers that make up neucleic acids  
🗑
A nucleotide consists of   five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, a nitrogenous base  
🗑
2 kinds of nucleic acids   DNA and RNA  
🗑
Proteins contain   nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen  
🗑
Amino acids   monomers that make protein  
🗑
Proteins are used for   controlling the rate of reactions and regulating cell processes (like enzymes), forming bones and muscles, transporting substances, and fighting diseases.  
🗑
Chemical reaction   process that changes one set of chemicals into another  
🗑
Reactants   enter a reaction  
🗑
Products   produced by a reaction  
🗑
Chemical reactions involve changes in   chemical bonds  
🗑
Energy is always _____ in chemical reactions   released or absorbed  
🗑
Chemical reactions that absorb energy need   a source of energy to occur  
🗑
Activation energy   the source of energy that gets a reaction started  
🗑
Catalyst   speeds up the rate of a reaction  
🗑
Enzymes   proteins that are biological catalysts  
🗑
Cells use enzymes how?   Speed up chemical reactions in cells  
🗑
An enzyme gets its name from...   the reaction it catylizes  
🗑
Substrates   reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions  
🗑
The fit is very precise in the active site   (blank)  
🗑
Enzyme-substrate complex   the binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms it  
🗑
Cells have proteins that can...   turn enzymes on or off  
🗑


   

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.
