Atoms and Molecules
Definition
Smallest units of matter that retain prop and charc of an element.
Term
Subatomic
Definition
Protons (+), Electrons (-), Neutron (o)
Term
Number of Electron spots around shell
Definition
1st has 2, then 8, then 18.
Term
Atomic #
Definition
How many protons in element. DEFINES the element.
Term
Mass #
Definition
How many protons and neutrons in element.
Term
Isotope
Definition
Atom w/diff mass # but same atomic #. Difference in number of neutrons.
Term
Ion
Definition
Atom gains or gives up an Electron (-). Creates a charged atom. (Ionization)
Term
Molecules
Definition
2 or more atoms share same electron (-).
Term
Compound
Definition
Substance contains atoms of 2 or more different elements. "All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds."
Term
Free Radical
Definition
Electrically charged atoms w/an unpaired Electron (-) in the outer most shell.
Term
Antioxidant
Definition
Inactive free radical.
Term
Chemical Bond
Definition
Holds a molecule together.
Term
Ionic Bond
Definition
opposite charges attract.
Term
Electrolyte
Definition
Ionic compound that breaks apart into(+) and (-) ions in solutions.
Term
Covalent Bond
Definition
2+ atoms share an electron (-) instead of losing or gaining it.
Term
Water
Definition
Makes ions, Solvent-Polar-Covalent. Major component of mucus.
Term
Hydrophilic
Definition
Solutes that dissolve in H2O are charged (+) or polar covalent ex: waste in urine.
Term
Hydrophobic
Definition
Non-polar covalent (not impacted by water) or lipid based.
Term
Water (high heat cap)
Definition
Absorbs or releases heat w/little change to own temp.
Term
Water (high heat of evaporation)
Definition
Lots of heat needed to change from liquid to gas.
Term
Chemical Reactions
Definition
Bonds forming and breaking.
Term
Metabolism
Definition
All chemical reactions that occur in the body.
Term
Law of Conservation of Energy
Definition
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, just change of form.
Term
Exergonic
Definition
Glucose broken down to make ATP. Energy released, bond breaks.
Term
Endergonic
Definition
ATP used to fuel muscle movement. Energy consumed, bond forms.
Term
Activation Energy
Definition
Collision energy needed to break the chemical bond.
Term
Catalyst
Definition
(Match maker) Reduces the activation energy needed to form a bond.
Term
Organic Compounds
Definition
Carbon based. C is building block and they don't dissolve in H20. (Why we are carbon based life forms).
Term
Carbohydrate
Definition
1 H2O for every carbon. 2-3% body mass is sugar, glycogen, starch, cellulose. Deoxyribose and sources of ATP.
Term
Monosaccharide
Definition
3-7 carbon atoms, simple sugars.
Term
Disaccharide
Definition
2 mono (fructose + glucose = sucrose)
Term
Polysaccharide
Definition
10+ mono. Not sweet or soluble in H2O.
Term
Lipids
Definition
15-25% of body mass. Not soluble in H2O hydrophobic. Small lipids dissolve in plasma.
Term
Nucleic Acid
Definition
Complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain.
Term
Lipoprotein
Definition
Makes lipids soluble in H2O. Protein surrounds lipid.
Term
Atherosclerosis
Definition
Hardening of the veins and arteries. Hypertension and vessel expansion. Infarction.
Term
Triglyceride
Definition
Most common in body and diet. 2x more energy per gram vs carb and protein.
Term
Saturated Fat
Definition
Triglyceride w/single bonds. Solid at room temp. Heart disease and colorectal cancer.
Term
Polyunsaturated
Definition
Greater than 1 double bond. Fish oil prevents heart disease. Essential fatty acids omega 3+6. (Wound, skin, mental function, calc utilization. Found in flaxseed, nuts, processed food.)
