A&P CHAPTER 2

TermDefinition
Atomic Weight Protons + Neutrons in one atom
Isotopes Atoms with same atomic # but diff. atomic weight -Same # of Protons and Electrons -Different # of electrons
Unstable isotopes are ? Radioactive (Emit energy or atomic fragments)
Molecules When two or more atoms chemically combine
Compound When two or more atoms of DIFFERENT elements chemically combine
Molecular Formula Depict the element present and # of each atom present in the molecule Ex. H^2 Molecule; H^2O Compound
Matter Anything that takes up space and has mass (weight) composed of elements
Elements Composed of chemically identical atoms Most common elements; O,H,C,N
Atoms Smallest particle of an element -Composed of subatomic particles
Proton Carries (+) charge
Neutron No electrical charge (Neutral)
Electron Carries (-) charge
Nucleus Composed Protons +Neutrons Electrons move around the nucleus
Atomic Number Number of protons in the nucleus of one atom *Equals to the number of electrons
Chemical bonding Bonds from when atoms combine
Bonding atoms Rules -1ST shell can hold 2 electrons -2ND shell can hold 8 electrons -3RD shell can hold 8 electrons
Ion Electrically charged atom Gains/ Loses electrons to become stable
Cation Positively charged (Loses electron)
Anion Negatively charged (gains more electrons)
Ionic bonds Give away electrons; Bond WILL BREAK when submerged in water (Attraction between a cation and an anion) Loses becomes (+) cation Gains becomes (-) anion
Covalent Bonds Formed when atoms share electrons; Strongest bond WILL NOT disperse in water
Hydrogen Bonds Weak attraction between the positive end of one polar molecule and negative end of another polar molecule -Weakest of the 3 bonds 3D structure, must have H to create
Structural formulas Show how atoms bond
Polar Molecules Opposite charged atoms attract; Molecule with a slightly negative end and a slightly positive end result when electrons are not shared equally in covalent bonds. -Water unequal sharing
Chemical reaction Occur when chemical bonds form or break among atoms, ions, or molecules.
Enzymes Catalyst for a chemical reaction (speeds up)
Reactants Start; Starting material of the reaction
Products End; Formed at the end of the reaction
Synthesis reaction More complex chemical structure is formed A+B>AB
Decomposition Reaction Chemical bonds are broken to form a simpler chemical structure AB>A+B
Exchange reaction Chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed AB+CD>AD+CB
Reversible reaction Products can change back to the reactants A+B<>AB
Electrolytes Substances that release ions in water
Acids Electrolytes that dissociate to release hydrogen ions in water
Bases Electrolytes that dissociate to release hydroxyl ions in water
Salts Electrolytes formed by the reaction between and acid and a base
pH scale Ranges 0-14 Indicates the concentration of Hydrogen ions in solution
Neutral 7
Acidic 0-6.9 more H+
Basic or alkaline 7.1-14 more OH-
Organic molecules Contains Carbon Usually larger than inorganic Dissolve in water and organic liquids Carbohydrates, protein, lipids, nucleic acids
Inorganic molecules Do not contain Carbon (generally) Usually Smaller than organic Dissociate in water, forming ions Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and inorganic salts
Important inorganic substances Water Oxygen Carbon Dioxide Inorganic salts
Organic Substances Carbohydrates Proteins
Four levels of protein structure Primary structure Secondary structure Tertiary structure Quaternary structure
Lipids Soluble in organic solvents; insoluble in water FATS
Phospholipids Major component of cell membrane
Steroids Used to synthesize hormones four connected rings of carbon
Nucleic acids Building blocks are nucleotides Carry genes -DNA,RNA
Chromosomes Contains genetic information for cells to survive -Long strands of DNA -22 pairs of chromosomes + 1 pair of sex chromosomes= 23 pairs -2 copies 46 Total XXF XYM
DNA Double stranded Found in nucleus of cells Carries genetic information within the cells deoxyribose is sugar nucleotides ATCG
4 Types of nucleotides for DNA Adenine (A) Guanine (G) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C)
RNA Single stranded Derived from DNA Used to make proteins; acts as a messenger between DNA and the protein synthesis ribose sugar AUGC
4 Types of nucleotides for RNA Adenine (A) Guanine (G) Uracil (U) Cytosine (C)
Mass number # protons + # Neutrons
Non polar Equal sharing electrons/ equal pull
Receptor function receives the stimulus
Control center function process the signal & sends instructions
Effector function carries out instructions
Homeostasis any process that living things use to actively maintain fairly stable conditions necessary for survival
Protons are: Positively charged and equal the atomic number
Saturated fat has Carbon (C) chains: Filled with the maximum amount of Hydrogen (H+)
Correct statement Solute is added to a solvent creating a solution
Ions are: Elements with a different number of electrons
A double covalent bond is formed by: atoms sharing two pairs of electrons
A monosaccharide is made of one sugar molecules
An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another
An isotope is an element with a different: number of neutrons
Electrolytes are substances that: dissociate into charged particles in water
An example of catabolism reaction AB>A+B
The valence shell is the outermost shell/energy level of electrons
An acid is a H+ donor
Kinetic energy is energy at work
DNA is made of ribose, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base
when a protein unwinds destroying its three-dimensional structure it is said to denature
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons
An example of a synthesis reaction A+B>AB
The four properties of water are high heat capacity, polarity/solubility, chemical reactivity, lubrication
Oils are liquid at room temperature
A compound is the combination of more than one of different elements
Bulk element requires by the body in large amounts (O,H,C,N)
Trace element required by the body in small amounts (Fe,Mg)
Ultratrace element required by the body i very minute amounts (Fi, Li)
Most common elements in human body O,H,C,N
4 Main organic substances Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids ,nucleic acids
Carbohydrates primary energy source; Composed of polymers of sugars
Protein Structural components of cell, energy reserve, hormone production, receptors, enzymes, antibodies Composed of chains of AA
Lipids Fats, phospholipids, steroids
Nucleic acids composed of nucleotides that carry genetic information
Hydrophobic water-insoluble (tail)
Hydrophilic water-soluble (head)
Steroids Used to synthesize hormone 4 connected rings of carbon
Polarity opposite charged atoms attract
