A&P 1 Test 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ATP | Primary source of energy in the body, formed out of glucose. We use our body weight of ATP everyday. |
| Structural organization of proteins | large molecules that contain amino acids. Does whatever needs to be done. |
| PH | Measure of acidity. >7 is alkaline. <7 is acidic. 7 is neutral |
| Examples of inorganic compounds | Water, many salts, acids and bases |
| Exchange reactions vs. Reversible reactions | Exchange- consist of synthesis and decomposition reactions (PH glance) Reversible- products can revert to the original reactants |
| Synthesis reactions vs. Decomposition reactions | Synthesis- anabolism (building up) Decomposition- catabolism (breaking down) |
| Catalysts | Chemical compounds that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur |
| Activation energy | Energy required to break chemical bonds. Catalysts can lower the amount of activation energy required |
| Exergonic vs. Endergonic | Exergonic- releases energy, is typically breaking something down. Endergonic- adds energy, typically when building up. |
| Polar vs. Nonpolar | Nonpolar- shared equally (most common) Polar- not shared equally |
| Hydrogen bonds | Attraction of oppositely charged parts of different molecules. Very weak. |
