Question
Answer
atoms   smallest unit of matter  
🗑
BODY (96% of body mass)   oxygen, carbon, hydogen, nitrogen  
🗑
Ionic bonds   opposite charged ions are attracted to each other  
🗑
ions   atom that has gained or lost electrons becomes (+) or (-)  
🗑
cations   a (+) charged ion  
🗑
Anions   (-) charged ion  
🗑
covalent bonds   2 or more atoms share electrons equally  
🗑
polar covalent bonds   one atom attracts the shared electron more (partial (+) & (-) ends  
🗑
Hydrogen bonds   (surface tension) water forms polorbonds, H is attracted to neighboring atoms (pool)  
🗑
Reactants   starting substance of a reaction  
🗑
products   ending substance after a reaction  
🗑
activation energy   inital energy to start a reaction- increase in concentration or temperature causes atoms to collide  
🗑
catalysis   speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy needed, not consumed  
🗑
enzymes   special proteins lowering the activation energy in living tissue, can not tolerate high heat or concentrations  
🗑
exergonic   reactings that release more energy (produce energy)  
🗑
endergonic   reactions require more energy (absorb energy)  
🗑
decomposition reactions   splitting up larger molecules into smaller ones (gives off energy)  
🗑
catabolism   breaking down substances in body (sugar)  
🗑
hydrolysis   use water to split a substance  
🗑
synthesis reaction   combinging of substances to produce new larger molecules (requires energy)  
🗑
anabolism   combing substances in the body (amino acids-> proteins)  
🗑
dehydration synthesis   H2o formed while joining reactions (making something bigger)  
🗑
exchange reactions   both compounds switch partners A-B+C-D -> A-D+B-C  
🗑
reversible reactions   produts can revert back to original reactants AB<-->A+B (goes both ways)  
🗑
Nutrients   ezzential elements &molecules obtained from food  
🗑
metabolites   molecules broken down in the body  
🗑
solubility   molecule will break or dissolve in water  
🗑
reactivity   medium for reactions  
🗑
high heat capacity   absorb and retain heat  
🗑
electrolytes   inorganic molecules whose ions will conduct an elestric sharge  
🗑
hydrophilic   interact with water (loves water)  
🗑
hydrophobic   does not interact with water (hates/fears water)  
🗑
PH   concentration of hydogen ions (factors of 10)  
🗑
neutral   PH of 7  
🗑
Acidic   pH lower than 7  
🗑
Basic   pH above 7  
🗑
(inorganic) salts   union of cation (+)  
🗑
(inorganic)Buffers   compound stabilize pH (convert strong acids and bases into weak ones)  
🗑
organic compounds   Carbon and hydrogren atoms  
🗑
Carboxyl group   acts as an acid  
🗑
Amino group   can Accept or release H's, can form bonds  
🗑
Hydroxyl group   link molecules through dehydration synthesis  
🗑
Phosphate group   link molecules store energy high energy bonds  
🗑
Carbohydrates   energy source 2-3% body mass  
🗑
Glucose   most important metabolic fuel in body  
🗑
Disaccharides   2 sugar molecules (G+..)  
🗑
polysaccharides   long chain sugars  
🗑
Lypids   fats and oils  
🗑
fatty acids   long carbon change with H's engergy  
🗑
Prostaglandins   direct cellular activities  
🗑
Glycerides   energy source  
🗑
steroids   hormones -  
🗑


   

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.
