How would a nervous system disorder affect the muscular system? When the neurons become unhealthy or die, communication between the nervous system and muscles breaks down. As a result, muscles weaken and waste away (atrophy).

nucleus contains protons and neutrons
atom basic unit of chemical element

Describe the subatomic particle not in the nucleus. Electrons, which are negatively-charged, are located outside of the nucleu
trace elements minerals present in living tissues in small amounts
List the chemical symbols of the six most abundant elements in the human body and their total percentage contribution to total body weight D) O, C, H, N, Ca, and P. They account for 99.3% of total body weight.
octet rule the atoms like to have eight electrons only in their full outer shells.
why the atoms of inert elements do not react with one another or combine with atoms of other elements. Atoms of inert elements are nonreactive because the outermost electron shell (valence shell) contains the maximum number of electrons possible.
how do cations and anions form by losing and gaining electron(s) respectively to attain the nearest noble gas configuration or stability
How many electrons are shared by the oxygen atoms in the oxygen molecule? 2 valence
Describe the kind of bonds that hold the atoms in a water molecule together polar covalent
By what means are water molecules attracted to each other hydrogen bonds
Explain why small insects can walk on the surface of a pond and why tears protect the surface of the eye from dust particles The attraction of water molecules creates a surface tension barrier that prevents small objects from penetrating the water.
Describe how cells are chemical factories designs, imports, synthesizes, uses, exports and degrades a variety of chemicals (in the case of cell, these include lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and carbohydrates).
Compare and contrast the terms work, energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy Energy is the capacity to do work. Potential energy is energy based on position, whereas kinetic energy is energy based on motion.
Compare the role of water in hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis reactions Dehydration synthesis is essentially the opposite of hydrolysis. Dehydration is when you start off with 2 monomers and hydrolysis is when you start of with a polymer and water.

describe proteins biopolymeric structures composed of amino acids,
What kind of bond forms during the dehydration synthesis of two amino acids, and which functional groups are involved? peptide
Why does boiling a protein affect its functional properties the protein frequently becomes insoluble—i.e., it is denatured—and remains insoluble even when the solution is cooled.
What are the reactants in an enzymatic reaction called? substrates
Relate an enzyme’s structure to its reaction specificity. he three-dimensional structure of the active site of an enzyme allows the enzyme to bind easily to specific substrates only.
Compare AMP with ADP AMP has one phosphate group, ADP has two,
What are the products of ATP hydrolysis? ADP (Adenosine diphosphate), Pi (inorganic phosphate) and energy.
Describe and identify the two classes of nucleic acids. DNA and RNA are the two major classes of nucleic acids. the differ on the state of their sugar component; DNA has a hydrogen bonded to carbon on its sugar/ RNA has a OH (hydroxyl) bonded to carbon on it's sugar.
Explain how the complementary strands of DNA are held together hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.
Compare and contrast the nucleotides of DNA and RNA the nucleotides in RNA are ribonucleotides—that is, they contain the sugar ribose (hence the name ribonucleic acid) rather than deoxyribose
