Question
Answer
Atoms   the smallest particle of an element, always have same number of protons & electrons, no charge  
🗑
Subatomic Particle   pieces of an atom  
🗑
Proton   found in the nucleus, charge of +1, weight of 1, number of protons identifies the atom  
🗑
Neutron   neutral, no charge, found in the nucleus, weight of 1, make nucleus stable, keep protons from repelling one another  
🗑
Electron   smallest of particles, located in shells around the nucleus, constantly moving throughout those shells, charge of -1, outer shell electrons react (involved in chemical reactions)  
🗑
Ions   atoms that have lost or gained electrons, always have a charge, charge will tell you if they have lost or gained electrons  
🗑
Cation   ions that are formed when we lose an electron, have more protons than electrons, positive charge  
🗑
Anion   ions that are formed when we gain an electron, have more electrons than protons, negative charge  
🗑
Elements   pure substances made up of identical atoms  
🗑
Elements in the Body   Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Potassium, Sodium, Calcium & Chloride  
🗑
H   Hydrogen  
🗑
O   Oxygen  
🗑
C   Carbon  
🗑
N   Nitrogen  
🗑
K+1   Potassium  
🗑
Na+1   Sodium  
🗑
Ca+2   Calcium  
🗑
Cl-1   Chloride  
🗑
Molecules   2 or more atoms that are bonded together  
🗑
Compound   pure substance containing identical molecules  
🗑
Carbohydrate   most important one is glucose, stored as polysaccharides, animals store it as glycogen, plants make starch  
🗑
Glucose   what our bodies use for energy  
🗑
Polysaccharides   long chains of glucose  
🗑
Proteins   long chains of amino acids, 20 different amino acids, fold into a very specific shape that is essential to it's function  
🗑
Lipids   organic molecules made by living things that dissolve poorly in water, liquid form=oils & fats  
🗑
Cholesterol   hormones made from cholesterol are steroids (also a lipid)  
🗑
Triglyceride   most common fat in our diet  
🗑
Nucleic Acids   2 main categories, mRNA & DNA  
🗑
mRNA   messenger RNA, a copy of one gene  
🗑
DNA   double stranded, found in almost every cell in our body- in the nucleus, every cell has identical DNA, it contains all of your genes, each gene has the code for 1 protein  
🗑
Inorganic Compounds in the Body   mostly contain some carbon, but not always made by living things  
🗑
Water   most common and most important inorganic compound in our body; universal solvent  
🗑
Solutions   mixture of different chemicals, always fluids (gas or liquid)  
🗑
Solvent   liquid used to dissolve other things  
🗑
Solute   material that is being dissolved  
🗑
Hypertonic   higher concentrations of solute  
🗑
Hypotonic   lower concentration of solute  
🗑
Isotonic   2 solutions that have the same total concentration of solute  
🗑
pH scale   is a way of measuring the concentration of Hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution, range of 0-14  
🗑
aqueous   water is the solvent  
🗑
Acids   pH less than 7, low concentration of hydroxide  
🗑
Bases   pH greater than 7, high concentration of hydroxide  
🗑
