Question
Answer
Matter   Anything that takes up space and has mass: solid, liquid, gas  
🗑
Element   basic building blocks of matter; can't be broken down by chemical means  
🗑
Atom   Smallest unit of an element that still retains the chemical and physical properties of the element  
🗑
Subatomic particles that make up an atom   Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons  
🗑
Which subatomic particle(s) reside in the nucleus?   Protons and Neutrons  
🗑
Which subatomic particle(s) move about the nucleus?   Electrons  
🗑
Electron shell   Circle around the nucleus of the atom  
🗑
Atomic Number   All atoms of a an element have the same number of protons. Since the atoms ate electronically neutral, it also tells you the number of electrons. Represented as the bottom number in atom.  
🗑
Mass Number   Sum of Protons and Neutrons  
🗑
Mass of Protons and Neutrons   1 Atomic Mass Unit (AMU) each  
🗑
Mass of Electrons   0 AMU  
🗑
Atomic Mass   Is the average of AMU for all Isotopes and is the top number represented in atom.  
🗑
Isotopes   Atoms that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Their Mass Numbers are different. Subtract atomic number from mass to find number of neutrons.  
🗑
Radioisotope   An atom that when decays releases various types of energy in form of rays and subatomic particles.  
🗑
Molecule   Atoms that bound with another to forma a chemical unit. Atoms can be the same or different.  
🗑
Compound   A molecules made up of different atoms.  
🗑
Stable Atom   Atoms with more than one shell are most stable when the outer shell contains eight electrons.  
🗑
Ionic bonding   Atoms give up or take on an electron or electrons to make a stable outer shell.  
🗑
Ions   Particles that carry either a positive or negative charge. Ion carries a positive charge if more protons; negative charge if more electrons.  
🗑
Covalent bonding   Atoms share electrons.  
🗑
Covalent - Single bonding   Atoms share only a pair of electrons  
🗑
Covalent - Double and Triple Bonding   Atoms share 2 pairs of electrons (double) and 3 pairs (triple).  
🗑
Polar molecule   Has a slightly negative and slightly positive charge between atoms  
🗑
Hydrogen bond   Attraction of a slightly positive, covalently bonded hydrogen to a slightly negative atom nearby. Represented by a dotted line.  
🗑
Properties of water   High Heat Capacity; High Heat of Evaporation; Solvent; Cohesive & Adhesive; Frozen Water is Less Dense than Liquid Water  
🗑
Calorie   Amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water 1degreeC.  
🗑
How many calories of heat energy does it take to turn coldest water to ice?   Loss off 80  
🗑
How many calories of heat energy does it take to convert 1g of hottest water to gas?   540  
🗑
Solution   Contains dissolved substances  
🗑
Solutes   the dissolved substances in a solution  
🗑
Hydrophilic   Molecules that attract water  
🗑
Hydrophobic   Molecules that can't attract water. (Nonpolar)  
🗑
Cohesion   The ability of water molecules to cling to each other due to hydrogen bonding.  
🗑
Adhesion   Ability of water molecules to cling to other polar surfaces.  
🗑
Acids   Substances that dissociate in water, releasing hydrogen ions (H+). The acidity depends on how fully it dissociates.  
🗑
Bases   Substances that either take up hydrogen (H+) or releases hydroxide ions (OH-).  
🗑
PH Scale   used to indicate acidity or basicity of a solution. Below 7 is acidic; above 7 is base and 7 is neutral.  
🗑
Buffers   Help keep the pH within normal limits because they are chemical or combinations of chemicals that take up excess hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions.  
🗑
Categories of Organic Molecules   Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids  
🗑
Organic   A molecule that contains carbon and hydrogen and usually associated with living organisms.  
🗑
Macromolecule   a molecule that contains many subunits  
🗑
Dehydration reaction   When a cell constructs a macromolecule by removing a OH (hydroxyl group) and an H (hydrogen atom) between subunits to make the marcro.  
🗑
Hydrolysis Reaction   When a cell breaks down a macromolecule by components of water are added during the breaking of a bond between the molecules. Add the water to break into subunits.  
🗑
Carbohydrates   Characterized by the presence of atomic grouping H-C-OH where ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2 to one. Function for quick short-term energy. CH2O  
🗑
Simple carbohydrates   A carbohydrate mad up of just one ring and its carbon atoms is low ( 5 to 7). Monosaccharide and Disaccharide  
🗑
Monosaccharide (Simple)   1 sugar - glucose  
🗑
Disaccharide (Simple)   2 sugars connected by covalent bond - maltos  
🗑
Complex carbohydrate (Polysaccharide)   Contain many glucose units - long chain of sugar that can be straight or branched.  
🗑
Types of Polysaccharide   Storage and Structural  
🗑
Storage Polysaccharide   Stores food inside cell (form of energy), easy to break down into sugar units, example: starch and glycogen  
🗑
Structural Polysaccharide   Structural components for cell (not food), not easy to break down, example: cellulose and chitlin  
🗑
Lipids   Contain carbon, hydrogen and Oxygen (CHO)(and some have phosphorous (P)). Does not dissolve in water,used as energy modules found in cell membrane. oils, fats, steroids, phospholipids  
🗑
Lipids (Fats)   Usually animal origin, solid at room temperature, long-term energy storage, insulation from heat loss, cushions for organs  
🗑
Lipids (oils)   Plant origin, liquid at room temperature  
🗑
Triglycerides (Fat)   A type of fat that stores energy, structure made up of glycerol and 3 fatty acids  
🗑
Saturated fats   Solid at room temperature because all the fatty acids in triglyceride have only a single bond (straight and easy to pack together).  
🗑
Unsaturated fats   liquid at room temperature because at least one of the fatty acids in the triglyceride has a double or triple bonding making it harder to pack together.  
🗑
Atherosclerosis   hardening of the arteries - fatty deposits called plaques form on the inside of blood vessels reducing blood flow and oxygen supply. Caused by saturated fat.  
🗑
Trans Fat   created artificially; hydrogens are on opposite sides of carbon, may be partially hydrogenated; not healthy  
🗑
Polyunsaturated fat   has many double bounds; corn, canola, safflower oil; healthy  
🗑
Which fat is healthiest   polyunsaturated  
🗑
Which fat is unhealthiest   Trans fat  
🗑
Phospholipids (lipid)   main components of membranes; forms a bilayer; structure: glycerol, 2 fatty acids, and phosphate group  
🗑
Phospholipids arrangement in cell group   polar head at surface, nonpolar tail at middle, tail to tail;  
🗑
Steroid (lipid)   Structure: 4 fused carbon rings; made of cholesterol; example: estrogen, testosterone, anabolic  
🗑
Polypeptide   formed when 3 or more amino acids are formed by peptide bounds  
🗑
