Question
Answer
Chemistry in Anatomy and Physiology   body functions depend on cellular functionscellular functions result from chemical change  
🗑
Matter   anything that takes up space and has weight; composed of elements  
🗑
Chemical elements   substances that cannot be broken down by chemical means into simpler substancesExamples: carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen  
🗑
Atoms   Smallest particle of an element  
🗑
Atomic Structure   Atoms composed of subotomic particles  
🗑
Protons   carry a positive charge p = protons  
🗑
Nuetrons   carry a charge n = neutrons  
🗑
Electrons   carry a negative charge pink dot = electrons  
🗑
Nucleus   composed of protons and neutronselectrons move around it  
🗑
Atomic Number   number of protons in the nucleus of one atomeach element has a unique atomic numberequals the number of electrons in the atom  
🗑
Atomic Mass   the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in one atom electrons do no contribute to the weight of the atom  
🗑
Molecules   particle formed when two or more atoms chemically combine  
🗑
Compound   particle formed when two or more atoms of different elements chemically combine  
🗑
Chemical formulas   depict the element present and the number of each atom present in the molecule  
🗑
Electrons   found in regions of space called orbitals(energy cells)each shell can hold a limited number of electrons. Lower shells are filled first. If the outermose shell is full, the atom is stable.  
🗑
For atoms with atomic numbers of 18 or less   the first shell can hold up to 2 electronsthe second shell can hold up to 8 electrons the third shell can hold up to 8 electrons  
🗑
Ions   atom that ha gained or lost an electron(s), electrically charged, atoms form ions to become stable  
🗑
Ionci Bond   an attraction between positive and negative ions  
🗑
Ionic compounds   dissociate when tehy dissolve in water. Called electrolytes because they can conduct eletrical current in water  
🗑
Composition and concentration of electrolytes   must be kept within normal limits for normal body function  
🗑
Covalent Bond   formed when atoms share electrons  
🗑
Structural Formulas   show how atoms bond and are arranged in various molecules  
🗑
Inorganic Molecules   generally do not contain C. Usually smaller than organic molecules. Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and inorganic salts.  
🗑
Organic Molecules   Contain C and H. Usually larger than inorganic molecules. Charbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids  
🗑
Water H2O   two-thirds of the weight of an adult human  
🗑
Oxygen O2   used by organelles to release energy from nutrients  
🗑
Carbon dioxide CO2   waste product released during metabolic reactions  
🗑
Inorganic Salts Na+, Cl-, K+, Ca2+   abundant in body fluids and cells. Many metabolic processes  
🗑
Electrolytes   substances that release ions in water NaCl -> Na+ + Cl-  
🗑
Acids   electrolytes that release hydrogen ions in water. HCl-> H+ + Cl-  
🗑
Bases   substances that release ions that can combine with hydrogen ions. NaOH -> Na+ + OH-  
🗑
Salts   electrolytes fromed by the reaction between an acid and a base. HCl + NaOH --> H2O + NaCl  
🗑
pH scale   concentration of hydrogen ions in solutions  
🗑
Acidic   pH less than 7; greater concentration of H+  
🗑
Neutral   pH 7; equal concentrations of H+ and OH-  
🗑
Alkaline   pH greater than 7; greater concentration of OH-  
🗑
Buffers   chemical or chemicals that cn either pick up or release H+ to keep a solution's pH constant. Maintain normal pH of body fluids. Needed because slight pH changes can be harmful to body cells  
🗑
4 main types of biological macromolecules   Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids  
🗑
Carbohydrates   provide energy to cells, supply materials to build cell structures, water soluble, contain C, H, and O. ratio of H to O close to 2:1 (C6H12O6)  
🗑
3 main types of carbohydrates   monosaccharides = glucose and frutose, disaccharides = sucrose and lactose, polysaccharies = glycogen and cellulose  
🗑
Monosaccharides (simple sugars)   simplest carbohydrates. Glucos is major fuel for cells. Fructose and galactose are 6-C simple sugars found in foods  
🗑
Disaccharides   formed by chemically combining 2 monosaccharides. Maltose, sucrose, and lactose  
🗑
Polysaccharides   fromed by chemically combining many monosaccharides. Glocogen: animal carbohydrate storage. Starch: plant carbohydrate storage  
🗑
Lipids   soluble in organic solvents. Fats (triglycerides) used for energy and cell membranes. Contain C, H and O but less O than carbohydrates  
🗑
Saturated fats   animal triglycerides or fats. All C-C bonds are single bonds. Solid at room temperature. Examples: butter and lard  
🗑
Unsaturated fats   Plant triglycerides or oils. One or more doulde C-C bonds. Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated. Examples: olive oil and corn oil  
🗑
Phospholipids   phosphate replaces a fatty acid. Major components of cell membranes  
🗑
Sterols   component of cell membrane. Basis for some hormones  
🗑
Proteins   structural material, receptors, enzymes, antibodies, building blocks are amino acids, held together with peptide bonds.  
🗑
Condensation Synthesis   water is removed when bond is formed  
🗑
hydrolysis   water is added when bond is formed  
🗑
Catalyst   chemical that speeds reaction by is not part of the reaction (and is not changed by the reaction)  
🗑
Enzymes   brings together the substrates and allow them to react more easily  
🗑
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)   modified nucleotide with adenosin and 3 phosphates. Temporarily stores energy extracted from nutrients by cells. Only molecule to provide immediate energy to keep cellular processes going (powers chemical reactions)  
🗑
ATP   its abilities are due to the alternating formation and breakage of high-energy phosphate bonds  
🗑


   

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.
