Chapters 1 & 2

QuestionAnswer
6 Bulk Elements that make up 95% of the body Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Sulfur, Phosphorus
Carbon(c) Controlling the Ph of the blood
Oxygen(o) Important for aerobic exercise-65% of the human body
Hydrogen(h) Important part of Amino Acid
Sulfur(s) Proteins are mainly composed of carbon, Hydrogen & oxygen
Phosphorus(p) mineral that makes up 1% of a person's total body weight, second most abundant mineral, present in every cell of the body. High quantity within bones and teeth
2 Important Trace Elements Iron & Iodine
Iron(Fe) Regard for hemoglobin synthesis
Iodine(i) Essential for Thyroid Hormones
Particles of Matter Atom, Electrons, Protons, Atomic Number, Neutron, Atomic Mass & Ion
Atom Smallest particles of an element that has the element's properties
Electrons Extremely small particles that constantly orbit the nucleus within an atom: each carries a single negative electrical charge
Protons Relatively Large particles in the atomic nucleus: carries a single positive electrical charge
Atomic Number The number of protons in the element
Neutron Large particle about the sane weight as a proton; carries 6 electrical charges
Atomic Mass # of protons + Electrons
Ion Particle that is electrically charged because it has gained or lost one or more electrons
Isotopes Variations of an element that contain different numbers of neutrons (different atomic weights) but same number of protons & electrons
Molecule Particle formed by the chemical union of two or more atoms of the same element
Compound Particle formed when two or more atoms of different elements chemically combine
Chemical Bonds Form when atoms combine with other atoms. They result from interactions between the electrons of the atoms
Ionic Bonds Strong chemical bonds formed when ions of opposite charge attract each other
Cation Positively charged Ion
Anion Negatively charged Ion
Covalent Bonds Strong chemical bonds, formed between atoms that share electrons. Ex:H2O
Nonpolar Covalent Bonds Share electrons equally
Polar Covalent Bonds Form polar molecules with unequal charge distribution
Hydrogen Bonds Relatively weak attractions between adjacent polar molecules. Such as adjacent water molecules. Important for protein and nucleic acid struvtures
Types of Chemical reactions Synthesis, Decomposition, Exchange, Reversible
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 The products can change back to the reactants
Electrolytes Substances that dissociate to release hydrogen ions in water
Concentrations of acids and bases Affect chemical reactions in living organisms
pH Scale Used to evaluate the H+ion concentration and runs from 0-14
Acids (Acid pH) <7
Bases (Basic pH) >7
Neutral pH 7
Normal Blood pH 7.35-7.45
Acidemia Blood pH 7.0-7.3
Acidosis Symptoms Disoriented and Fatigued
Alkalemia Blood pH 7.5-7.8
Alkalosis Symptoms Dizzy and Agitated
Buffers Chemicals that resist pH change
Salts Electrolytes formed by the reaction between an acid and a base
Chemical Constituents of Cells Inorganic Molecules, Water, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Inorganic salts
Inorganic Molecules form ions and electrolytes
Water The most abundant compound in living materials, Major Component of all body fluids
Oxygen Used to release energy from nutrients to drive cell's metabolic activities, Necessary for survival
Carbon Dioxide Odorless, colorless gas. Waste product from metabolism, the process your body uses to make energy from food you eat.
Inorganic Salts Sodium(Na+), Chloride(C1-), Potassium(K+), Calcium(Ca+2)
Carbohydrates Contain Sugar & Starches
Carbohydrates The main source of cellular energy. Supplies materials to build cells
Size Classifications of Carbohydrates Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides
Monosaccharides Glucose & Fructose
Disaccharides Sucrose & Lactose
Polysaccharides Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose
Lipids Insoluble in water
Triglycerides Most abundant lipids
Saturated Fatty Acids Only single carbon-carbon bonds & are of animal origin such as butter
Unsaturated Fatty Acids One or more carbon-carbon double bond & are of plant origin such as olive oil
Proteins Used as Structural materials, energy source, hormones, receptors, enzymes, antibodies
Amino Acids Building blocks within proteins (Monomers)
4 Levels of Protein Structure Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary
Primary Amino Acids Sequence
Secondary Pleated or twisted structure formed by hydrogen bonding between nonadjacent amino acids
Tertiary Unique 3- dimensional folded shape, or conformation, of the protein, which determines its function
Quaternary Structure formed by some proteins, when 2 or more polypeptide chains are connected to become 1 protein
Denaturation Change in structure of protein by heat, radiation, pH changes, chemicals
Nucleic Acids #1 Carry Genetic code(DNA) or aid in protein synthesis (RNA)
DNA#1 Stores Genetic Code
RNA#1 Interacts with DNA to conduct Protein Synthesis
DNA#2 Double chain of nucleotides
Nucleatides Building Blocks Consisting of sugar, a phosphate group and an organic base
DNA#3 Contains the sugar deoxyribose
DNA#4 Unique ability to replicate themselves
RNA#2 A single chain of nucleotides
RNA#3 Contains the sugar ribose
Adenine(a) Always pairs with Thymine(T)
Cytosine(C) Always pairs with Guanine(G)
Homeostasis The maintenance of a constant internal environment
Gradients Substances move from high to low pressure and concentration ce
Feedback loops Provide a path to homeostasis when a system instability is recognized
Balanced Homeostasis Regained by replacing lost substances and eliminating excesses
Metabolism The sum of the chemical reactions in a system
Respiration Makes Energy
Digestion Breaks down food into nutrients
Circulation Moves chemicals and cells
Excertion Removes waste
Food Nutrients
Oxygen Releases energy
Heat Form of energy, Maintains body temp, Partly controls, rate of metabolism
Pressure Application of force on an object
Atmospheric Pressure Important for breathing
Hydrostatic Pressure Keeps Blood Flowing
3 Homeostatic Mechanisms Receptor, Control Center, Effectors
Receptors Detects a disrupting stimulus
Control Center Maintains Set point
Effectors Muscle or glands activate or deactive to move system back to set point
Negative Feedback When the response to the change moves
