Question | Answer |
Inorganic | Not organic, not living. example rocks |
Organic | Compound derived from an organism, contain carbon |
Carbon | 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 elections |
--OH makes alcohol a polar molecule, alcohols have similar properties to water, such as.... | 1) H Bonds 2) Liquid at room temps 3) High Specific heat |
Carbohydrates | Organic compound Composed of C, H & O: Provide Energy for the cell |
Monosaccharide | 1 sugar, Glucose and Fructose |
Disaccharide | 2 sugar, Sucrose (table sugar) |
Energy | The ability to move or change matter |
Energy exists in many forms such as | 1) Light 2) Heat 3) Chemical 4) Mechanical 5) Electrical |
Law of Conservation of Energy | Energy may change from 1 form to another, but the total amount of energy does not change |
Chemical RXN (reaction) | The process where bonds between atoms are broken and now ones form |
Law of Conservation of Mass | Matter is neither created or destroyed in any change |
Polymer | Repeated linked units, like a necklace made up of 1000's of beads |
Macromolecule | Huge molecule, DNA |
Condensation reaction | Chemical rxn that links monomers together by removing H2O |
Hydrolysis | Adding H20 to break apart/cut down molecules |
Polysaccharide | Many Sugars, storage in plant: starch, in humans: Glycogen |
Structural polysaccharides | Plant: Cellulose |
Lipids | Fats Contain C, H, O H to O ration is large |
Saturated Fats | Contain only single bonds |
Unsaturated | Have double or triple bond |
H2O barriers | Phospholipid bilayer |
Proteins | Contain C, H, O, N and made up of amino acids |
Enzymes | a substance that increases the speed of a chemical reaction |
Activation Energy | the amount of kinetic energy needed to start a reaction |
Alignment | Proper orientation of molecules needed for a reaction to occur, lock and key |
Substrate | The substance that is being broken down |
