Chemical Levels/Elem

The Chemical Level of Organization

QuestionAnswer
The human body is formed from _____ elements. 26
Four elements form 96% of the mass of the body which are ________, _________, __________, __________. Oxygen (O), Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Nitrogen (N)
Eight elements that form 3.8% of body mass are: Calcium (Ca), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Sulfur (S), Sodium (Na), Chlorine (Cl), Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe)
An atom consists of: A nucleus with surrounding electrons.
A nucleus consists of: Protons & neutrons.
Electrons: Form a bridge-like structure that links atoms to each other forming molecules which are called Chemical bonds.
Chemical Bonds: Are the bridge-like structure that links atoms to each other.
Ionic Bonds: Bonds that break easily. Ex- Placing salt into water and the bonds are broken.
Before the formation of an ion each element is: Neutral, has no charge.
Covalent Bonds are formed when: Atoms share electrons. They are strong and resist breakage.
Hydrogen Bond is: A bond that is formed when a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge attracts a partial negative charge. Ex- Water.
These two elements form water: Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
1 of 4 principal types of chemical reactions in the body. Synthesis or anabolism builds new and larger molecules, for ex- amino acids are the building blocks of protein.
2 of 4 principal types of chemical reactions in the body. Decomposition reactiona or catabolism split large molecules into smaller atoms, ions, or molecules, for ex- glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm of cells.
3 of 4 principal types of chemical reactions in the body. Exchange reactions consist of both synthesis and decomposition reactions, for ex- AB + CB _> AD + BC
4 of 4 principal types of chemical reactions in the body. Reversible reactions allow a molecule to breakdown and reform.
Organic Compounds are: The chemicals in the body that contain atoms of carbon.
Inorganic Compounds are: The chemicals in the body that DO NOT contain atoms of carbon.
Inorganic acids, bases, and salts dissolve in water and dissociate which means: The atoms separate.
Water servers and the _______________ for most chemical reactions in the body. Medium
Water can solubilize many solutes, therefore is and important _______________________. Solvent.
Water has a high _____________ capacity. Heat.
Water is an inportant part of __________ and _______________ fluids that lubricates surfaces of the body. Mucus and serous.
When atoms separate (ex- salt dissolving in water) the atoms: Become charged as they gain or lose electrons.
pH scale runs from: 0-14
A pH of __ is neutral. 7
A pH higher than 7 is ____________. Basic.
A pH below 7 is _____________ ____________. Increasingly acidic.
In order to function properly the blood of the human body must have a pH between ___ & ___. 7.35 - 7.45
On the pH scare each number change represents a ___ fold change in pH. 10
____________ in our blood protects our pH balance. Buffers
Carbs, lipids, and proteins are _______________ ____________. Organic compounds.
Carbohydrates include the following: Sugars, starches, & glycogen. These compunds represent 2-3% of body mass. Carbs finction as a source of chemical energy by generating ATP.
Lipids include the following: Fats & oils or tryglicerides, phospholipids, steriods, fatty acids & fat-soluble vitamins. Make up 18-25% of body mass. They do not dissolve in solvents like water so they are hydrophillic protein and form lipoproteins.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
