Question
Answer
matter   anything that has mass and takes up space  
🗑
atom   the smallest stable unit of matter  
🗑
atoms are classified into groups called   elements  
🗑
what percent is your body mass C,O,H,N   95%  
🗑
what is an element   atoms that contain the same number of protons  
🗑
electrical charge of a proton   positive  
🗑
location of a proton   nucleus  
🗑
electrical charge of a neutron   none  
🗑
location of a neutron   nucleus  
🗑
electrical charge of a electron   negative  
🗑
location of a electron   outside of nucleus (orbital)  
🗑
isotope   have same # of protons but different # of neutrons  
🗑
what plays a major role in chemical bond formation   the # of electrons in outermost orbit  
🗑
octet rule   atoms that have more than one orbital are most stable when they have 8 electrons  
🗑
carbon has how many electrons   four  
🗑
ionic bond   charged atoms form, opposite atoms attract (one atom to another atom)  
🗑
covalent bond   share electrons  
🗑
polar covalent bond   electrons are not shared equally, bond has slight + and - charges  
🗑
non-polar covalent bond   electrons are shared equally, bond has no charge  
🗑
hydrogen bonding   attraction between + charge of hydrogen in one molecule and - charge in another molecule  
🗑
most chemicals will dissolve in   water  
🗑
water is   liquid between 0-100 celcius  
🗑
hydrophilic molecules   have a charge and dissolve in water (polar and ions)  
🗑
hydrophobic molecules   have no charge and do not dissolve in water (oils, fats)  
🗑
water molecules are   cohesive and adhesive (stick to each other & stick to other polar/charged things)  
🗑
temperature of ____?_____ rises and falls more slowly than other liquids under the same condition   water  
🗑
takes a lot of ____?___ to change liquid water into steam   heat  
🗑
water has a __?__ __?__ tension   high / surface  
🗑
frozen water is more/less dense than liquid water   less  
🗑
acids   release H+ when they separate in water  
🗑
bases   accept H+ or release OH+ when they separate in water  
🗑
ph scale - 7 is   neutral  
🗑
ph scale - less than 7 is   acidic  
🗑
ph scale - greater than 7 is   basic  
🗑
buffers   molecules that maintain ph  
🗑
inorganic molecules   small ionic, no carbon, nonliving matter  
🗑
organic molecules   has carbon, very large, living organisms  
🗑
monomers   small molecules, exist by themselves or link up to form polymer molecules  
🗑
polymer   large chains of smaller molecules  
🗑
dehydration reaction   water is taken out and covalent bond is formed between monomers to form a larger polymer  
🗑
hydrolysis reaction   water is added, polymer is broken down into smaller monomers  
🗑
fats   in animals, serves as insulation and long term energy storage  
🗑
unsaturated fatty acids   double bonds between carbons, lower melting point, healthier (oil)  
🗑
saturated fatty acids   no double bonds between carbons, higher melting point, cardiovascular disease (butter)  
🗑
trans fats   fats that have been altered by the addition of hydrogen, most harmful  
🗑
phospholipids   forms the basic structure for the plasma membrane, membranes inside cell  
🗑
steriods   are hormones  
🗑
protein support   structural proteins (hair, nails)  
🗑
protein enzymes   speed up chemical reaction in a cell  
🗑
protein transport   channel proteins in the plasma membrane that allow substances to enter the cell  
🗑
protein defense   antibodies of the immune system fight foreign invaders  
🗑
protein hormones   intercellular messengers that are made up of one cell and act on another cell  
🗑
protein motion/movement   actin and myosin contract during muscle contraction  
🗑
B. Structure   amino acids, building blocks of protein  
🗑
how many different amino acids are there   20  
🗑
proteins are   large chains of amino acids  
🗑
peptide   short chain of amino acids (2-14)  
🗑
polypeptide   longer chains of amino acids (14+)  
🗑
denaturation of proteins   changes in ph cause proteins to loose their shape and function (destroying structure)  
🗑
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)   stores the genetic information in the cell  
🗑
what determines protein shape and function   DNA  
🗑
RNA (ribonucleic acid)   translates the genetic information of dna into protein  
🗑
structure of DNA   A, T, G, N, C  
🗑
structure of RNA   A, U, G, N, C  
🗑
nucleotide has 3 regions (DNA, RNA)   phosphate, sugar, nitrogen  
🗑
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)   composed of one nucleotide, energy stored in phosphate bond, functions as a carrier of energy in cells  
🗑
starch - polysaccharides   energy stored in plants  
🗑
glycogen - polysaccharides   energy stored in animals  
🗑
cellulose - polysaccharides   provides structural support in plant cell walls (animals cant digest)  
🗑
chitin - polysaccharides   provides structural support in exoskeleton of crabs and insects  
🗑


   

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.
