T/F molecules are large and complex TRUE
Gas, motor oil, plastics are examples of... nonbiological molecules
Generally DO NOT contain carbon atoms Inorganic molecules
h2o and o2 are examples of inorganic molecules
What is the making, breaking, rearranging of chemical bonds Chemical reaction
growth/repair "building: synthesis
release energy (hydrolysis) decomposition
reactant is the starting substance (ATP
What is the ability to do work energy
energys due to an objects position or chemical bond potential
energy due to an objects movement or heat (temp) kinetic
Can energy by created or destroyed? No it can only change form
Atoms that participate to fill electron shells chemical bonds
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions Ionic bond
Reduction reaction _ electron gained
oxidation reaction _ electron lost
ATOMS share pairs of electrons covalent bond
Weak bond between and H atom and a O or N atom Hydrogen bond
Holds water molecules together in liquid form at room temp water
resp for the shape of the molecule secondary, tertiary structure protein
holds the two strands together in a double helix DNA
water in organic/inorganic inorganic
The mixture with the same composition throughout solution
substance that does the dissolving/greates amount solvent
substance that gets the dissolved/least amount solute
dissolve, likes dissolves in likes polar solutes
remain isolated, seperate non polar solutes

substance that releases hydrogen ions in a solution base
measure of the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution pH
what is the neutral pH 7
pH<7 acidic
pH>7 Base
substance that absorbs and releases hydrogen ions in order to maintain a relatively constant pH buffer
CHO, organic, end in 'ose' are all characteristics of carbohydrates
category of carbs consisting of one sugar unit monosacchrides
Ribonucleic Acid is RNA
Deoxyribonucleic Acid is DNA
category of carbs where 2 monosaccharides are joined by a covalent bond Disaccharide
