chapter 2

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Nucleus   the central region of an atom  
🗑
atomic number   number of protons  
🗑
mass number   number if protons plus neutrons  
🗑
atomic weight   exact mass of all particles (daltons)  
🗑
isotopes   2 or more elements with equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons  
🗑
Elements in the human body are determined by   the atomic number of an atom: are the most basic basic chemicals  
🗑
chemical bonds: ionic bonds   attraction between cations and anions. Are atoms with positive or negative charge.  
🗑
Chemical bonds: covalent bonds   strong electron bonds that share.very strong, may have single, double, and triple bonds  
🗑
chemical bonds: hydrogen bonds main definition   weak polar bonds.  
🗑
molecules   atoms joined by strong bonds  
🗑
compounds   atoms joined by strong or weak bonds  
🗑
Nonpolar covalent bonds   bonds that occur between two atoms of the same type  
🗑
polar colvalent bonds   bonds that occur mainly with different typed of atoms. because of the strength of attraction, there is and unequal sharing of electrons  
🗑
hydrogen bonds   these are weak attractive forces that cannot create molecules, but they can change molecular shapes or pull molecules together. Bonding occurs between water molecules  
🗑
the attraction between molecules slows the rate of evaporation and creates the phenomenon known as   surface tension  
🗑
kinetic energy   energy of motion  
🗑
potential energy   stored energy  
🗑
chemical energy   potential energy stored in chemical bonds  
🗑
decomposition reaction (break down)   a reaction that breaks a molecule into smaller fragments (catabolism) AB-> A+B  
🗑
synthesis reaction (build up)   assembles smaller molecules into larger molecules A+B-> AB  
🗑
Hydrolysis (decomposition reaction) add water   water components are added to the product fragments  
🗑
dehydration synthesis (condensation) take water away   water is removed from a complex molecule  
🗑
reactants = substrates or on the left   materials going into a reaction  
🗑
products or on the right   materials coming out of a reaction  
🗑
Enzymes: (catalysts)   -proteins that lower the activation energy of a reaction (speeds things up) - accelerate chemical reactions without themselves being permanently changed or consumed (lowers energy)  
🗑
excess heat or temperature and changed in acidity   lose enzymes  
🗑
organic   molecules based on carbon and hydrogen  
🗑
inorganic   molecules not based on carbon and hydrogen  
🗑
essential molecules   Nutrients and metabolites  
🗑
essential molecules nutrients   essential molecules and elements normally obtained from food  
🗑
essential molecules: metabolites   much larger molecules made or broken down in the body  
🗑
solubility   waters ability to dissolve a solute (sugar) in a solvent (water) to make a solution  
🗑
re-activity   most body chemistry uses or occurs in water  
🗑
hydrophilic   reacts in water: mainly polar bonds  
🗑
hydrophobic   mainly nonpolar bonds: example fats and oil  
🗑
pH   -Hydrogen ions are extremely reactive in solution. The concentration of hydrogen ions in body fluids must be regulated precisely pH: the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+)in a solution  
🗑
neural pH   a balance of h+ and oh-  
🗑
acid (acidic) pH lower than 7.0 which means..   High H+ low oh-  
🗑
base: pH higher than 7.0 which means..   low H+ and high OH-  
🗑
pH scale: has an inverse relationship with H+ concentration which means.. **   more H+ ions mean lower pH, less H+ ions mean higher pH  
🗑
Polysaccharides   chains of many simple sugars  
🗑
Glycogen is   stored glucose  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
