Question | Answer |
Atoms make up what? | Matter |
What are atoms made up of? | a.) electrons b.) protons c.) neutrons |
What is/are electrons? | Found outside the nucleus- have negative charge |
What is/are protons? | Found in nucleus- have positive charge |
What is/are neutrons? | Found in nucleus- have no charge |
What is an element(s)? | Made up of one type of atom- organized in periodic table |
What is/are a molecule(s)? | Atoms of the same element bonded together i.e) O2 |
What is/are compounds? | Made up of two or more different elements that combine chemically i.e) H2O- water; CO2; CO |
What is a mixture? | Made of substances that combine physically-can be solids, liquids or gases or combinations of both- i.e) sand and baking soda; chocolate chip ice cream |
What are the parts of âNature of Matterâ ? | Atoms, element, molecules, compounds, mixture, solutions, and suspensions |
What are the types of mixtures? | Solutions, suspensions |
What are solutions? | Two or more substances are mixed evenly a.) sweat- salt and water (saline solution) |
What are suspensions? | Gas or liquid has another substance evenly spread throughout it; a.) unlike solutions, substances can sink to the bottom b.) Blood- red, white blood cells and platelets c.) oil & H2O; fine sand and H2O |
Blood stays together in the body because...? | Heart keeps blood flowing and blood cells suspended |
What are inorganic compounds? | Made from elements other than carbon i.e) water (H2O) is an inorganic compound |
What is the importance of water? | a.) living things are made up of more than 50% water
b.) needed for chemical reactions to occur
c.) used to transport materials through organisms |
What are organic compounds? | Contain carbon; associated with living or once living things |
What are carbohydrates? | Supply energy for cell process
-sugar (like glucose)
-starches break down into simple sugars |
What are lipids? | 1.) fats and oils do not mix with water
2.) release a larger amount of energy than carbohydrates; harder to break down
3.) found in cell membranes; make cell membrane selectively permeable b/c fats & oils donât mix w water |
What are proteins? | 1.) made up of amino acids
2.) make up many structures like muscle
3.) make up enzymes |
What are enzymes? | Regulate all chemical reactions in cell; can sped up the rate of a reaction |
What are nucleic acids? | 1) these store coded information for cells in DNA |
What is DNA? | deoxyribonucleic acid- directs activity of the cell |
What are the parts of organic compounds? | Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids |
