Question
Answer
Structure of an atom   Protons, neutrons & electrons  
🗑
Protons   positively charged particles  
🗑
Neutrons   neutral charged particle  
🗑
Electrons   negatively charged particles, RESPONSIBLE FOR PARTICIPATING IN CHEMICAL REACTIONS  
🗑
Atomic Number   number of protons in the nucleus  
🗑
Mass Number   Protons + neutrons  
🗑
Isotopes   The # of protons is the same, but with different number of neutrons  
🗑
If an atom loses 1 or more electrons, it's ...   postively charged  
🗑
If an electron gains one or more electrons, it's ....   negatively charged  
🗑
If an atom gives up or gains an electron, is called...   an ION  
🗑
atoms are joined by....   chemical bonds  
🗑
Chemical Bonds   = ENERGY. Atoms of a compound are hel together by forces of attraction  
🗑
3 types of chemical bonds are...   ionic, covalent and hydrogen  
🗑
Ionic Bonds   * COMPLETELY lose/gain electrons *cations-postively charged, ELECTRON DONORS *anions-negatively charged, ELECTRON ACCEPTORS. Compounds dissolve easily  
🗑
Covalent Bonds   *equally share electrons *can single, double or triple bonded  
🗑
Polar Bonds   UNEQUAL SHARING, one electron attracts the other more strongly  
🗑
Non-polar Bonds   EQUAL SHARING of electrons  
🗑
Water   *most abundant INORGANIC compound, *are POLAR (unequally shared electrons), *  
🗑
ACIDS   *are electron DONORS, *H+ and anion (negative atoms), *produces hydrogen on its own, *releases H+ ions  
🗑
BASES   *are electron ACCEPTORS, *are a group of atoms with hydrogen and oxygen and steal an electron, *NaOH=Na+ + OH  
🗑
pH   *a measure of acidity, *0-6.9999 = acidic, *7-14 = base  
🗑
Buffers   * minimize a pH change via negative-feedback systems  
🗑
Inorganic Compounds   * NO CARBON, * are simple molecules  
🗑
Organic Compounds   * contain CARBON, * ALWAYS have covalent bonds, *are either POLAR or NON-POLAR, * DO NOT DISSOLVE EASILY IN WATER, * useful materials for building structures, * good source of energy EXAMPLES: proteins, carbohydrates and fats  
🗑
Carbohydrates   * contain Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, *Functions: to provide energy, break down fatty acids, regulates glucose and cell recognition, *provides needed energy for life in humans in the form of glycogen, * builds structures and generates ATP  
🗑
Monosaccharides   *one sugar, * made from a 6-carbon structure ring, * glucose, fructose and galactose are monosaccharides  
🗑
Disaccharides   *any 2 monosaccharides, *ex.-maltose, lactose & sucrose  
🗑
Polysaccharides   *tens to hundreds of monosaccharides, * contain glucose & starch, * stored in the liver & skeltal muscles (reason why you go w/o eating for a long period of time)  
🗑
Lipids   *contain Hydrogen, Oxygen & some carbon, *DO NOT DISSOLVE EASILY IN WATER (non-polar bonds), *fluidity depends on structure of fatty acid chains & temperture  
🗑
Triglycerides, phospholipids & steroids are all.....   *******LIPIDS*******  
🗑
Triglycerides   *most plentiful lipid, * provides protection, insulation & energy, *composed of 1 glycerol head & 3 fatty acid chains, * FUNCTIONS: around heart, kidneys, under skin & long term storage  
🗑
saturated fats   *single covalent bond (single bond between the carbons  
🗑
unsaturated fats   * double bonds, *this is best for humans, *is a liquid such as oil  
🗑
Phospholipids   *are amphipathic (loves/hates water), **contains a charged PHOSPHATE group, * important cell membrane component, *the polar head contains phosphates & acid chain, *polar head LOVES water, acid chain HATES water  
🗑
Steroids   *made from cholesterol, ALL STEROIDS BEGIN WITH CHOLESTEROL, * 4 rings of carbon, * contained in sex hormones, bile salts & CHOLESTEROL  
🗑
Eicosanoids   * MODIFY RESPONSES TO HORMONES, * contribute to inflammatory responses, * is UNSATURATED, *is NOT produced by the body, *function: changes how fluids clot, swelling & ulcers  
🗑
Leukotrienes   *fatty acids, *fat-soluable vitamins such as A, D, E &K  
🗑
Proteins   *from amino acids, *amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen & NITROGEN, * SIDE CHAINS MAKE PROTEINS UNIQUE, Functions: structure to body, regulates processes, provides protection, helps muscles contract & transports substances & ACTS AS AN ENZYME  
🗑
Peptide Bonds   *covalent bond between 2 amino acids, *form structural levels of organization, * amino acids join together in a step-wise fashion w/each covalent carbon-to-nitrogen bond joining amino acids  
🗑
Enzymes   *make something happen faster, * catalysts in living cells, * usually end in -ase, *BREAKS DOWN SUBSTANCES  
🗑
Nucleic Acids   *huge organic molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen & phosphates, *distinguishes it from all others due to the PHOSPHATES, *DNA-regulates most activity that takes place in cells, *RNA-copies DNA, & relays instructions  
🗑
A T P   *principle ENERGY CURRENCY,Function: muscle contractions, chromosome movement, membrane transport processes, combines things together, cytoplasmic movement, *consists of 3 phosphates attached to an adenosine unit made of adenine & ribose  
🗑
Bonds =   STORED ENERGY  
🗑


   

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.
