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

Question
Answer
matter   anything that occupies space and has mass  
🗑
energy   the ability to do work in the form of potential and kinetic energy  
🗑
potential energy   stored energy  
🗑
kinetic energy   movement  
🗑
chemical energy   nuclear energy and the breaking of ATP bonds to create energy  
🗑
electrical energy   vision  
🗑
mechanical energy   hydraulic machines and chewing food  
🗑
radiant energy   from the sun  
🗑
adenosine triphosphate   high energy compound used by all cells. Energy is realsed by breaking high-energy phosphate bonds  
🗑
forms of heat   thermal, radiation, kinetic, molecular movement  
🗑
elements   fundamental units of matter  
🗑
carbon   18.5%  
🗑
oxygen   65%  
🗑
hydrogen   9.5%  
🗑
nitrogen   3.3%  
🗑
magnesium   thyroid hormone production  
🗑
sodium and potassium   important in nerve cell conditions  
🗑
calcium   found as salt in bones and teeth  
🗑
phosphorous   calcium absorption  
🗑
protons   the positively charged particles of the atom  
🗑
neutrons   the neutral particles of the atom  
🗑
electrons   have a negative charge and make up the outer shell of the atom, known as the orbital  
🗑
the nucleus   the center of the atom which is made up of neutrons and protons  
🗑
atomic number   the number of protons in an atom  
🗑
mass number   the number of protons and neutrons  
🗑
neutrons weigh   1.009 daltons  
🗑
protons weigh   1.007 daltons  
🗑
electrons and bonding   electrons occupy energy levels called electron shells, electrons closest to the nucleus are strongly attached, each shell has distict properties, shells closest to the nucleus fill first  
🗑
electron energy rule   the greater the distance the electron exists from the shell, the more energy it has  
🗑
isotopes   atoms of the same elements that have different numbers of neutrons  
🗑
valence electrons   electrons in the outer shell  
🗑
molecule   two or more like atoms that combine chemically  
🗑
compound   two or more different atoms combined chemically  
🗑
reactive elements   calence shells are not full and are unstable  
🗑
inert elements   have complete valence shells and are stable  
🗑
conding   atoms will transfer or share valence electrons until their outer shell becomes more stable  
🗑
ionic bonding   electrons are transferred to other elements  
🗑
anions   negatively charged  
🗑
cations   positively charged  
🗑
covalent bonding   atoms share electrons  
🗑
single covalent bonds   share 1 electron  
🗑
double covalent bonds   share 2 electrons  
🗑
hydrogen bonding   bonds that form between hydrogen atoms, the weakest of chemical bonds, hydrogen is attracted to the negative portion of polar molecules  
🗑
polarity   an unequal sharing of electrons that causes a slight negative and positivie charge on the different ends of a molecule  
🗑
chemical reaction   a process that changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals. chemical reactions always involve changes in the chemical bonds that join atoms together  
🗑
reactants   the elements of compounds that enter into a chemical reaction  
🗑
products   the elements of compounds produced by a chemical reaction  
🗑
endergonic reactions   use energy  
🗑
exergonic reactions   release energy  
🗑
metabolites   all the compounds that can be synthesized or broken down by chemical reactions inside the body  
🗑
enzymes   proteins that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms by lowering the activation energy. enzymes act as catalysts that increase only the rate of chemical reactions  
🗑
synthesesi (anabolic) reaction   A+B-> AB  
🗑
decomposition (catabolic) reaction   AB->A+B  
🗑
exchange reactions   AB+CD-> AD+BC  
🗑
organic compounds   contains carbon that forms 4 bonds  
🗑
inorganic compounds   lack carbon and tend to be simpler compounds  
🗑
water   universal solvent of life, 82% of blood, 65% body weight, 60% volume of cells, most abundant inorganic compound  
🗑
carbond   most cells are composed of carbon based compounds  
🗑
acids   release hydrogen ions in solution  
🗑
bases   release hydrogen ions in solution  
🗑
neutralization reaction   acids and bases react to form water and salt  
🗑
electrolytes   soluble inorganic compounds whose ions conduct an electrical current in water  
🗑
4 types of organic compounds   carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids  
🗑
carbohydrates   made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen  
🗑
monosaccharids   simple sugars  
🗑
disaccharides   formed when two monosaccharides link together  
🗑
polysaccharides   composed of 3 of more joined monosaccharides  
🗑
isomers   compounds with the same chemical formula by different structures  
🗑
lipids   large nonpolar molecules that do not dissolve in water and composed largely of carcon and hydrogen with a small amount of oxygen  
🗑
roles of lipids   act as insulators, regulate sterouds to help regulare other bodily functions, help keep the structure of cell membranes, store energy, provides the body with vitamins that are necessary for many functions  
🗑
nucleic acids   contain the genetic information of all living things  
🗑
purines   composed of a double ring structure-adenine and guanine  
🗑
pyrimidines   composed of a single ring-cytosine and thymine  
🗑
proteins   account for 50% of the dry weight of cells, 20%  
🗑
Amino Acids   20 different amino acids  
🗑
amino acids are composed of 3 parts   1. Amino group NH3 2. R group 3. Caboxyl group  
🗑
