Cards

Term
Describe the major parts of an atom and it's structure
Definition
Bldg. blocks of elements

Subatomic particles:
Protons - (+)
neutrons - neutral
electrons - carry a neg charge & participate in chemical bonding
Term
Periodic Table
Definition
-elements are attanged vertically

- Group # tells valence shell electrons
(# of electrons in outer orbital)
Term
Ion
Definition
ion charged atoms & in the human body they are referred to as electroltes

2 types based on electron flow
anion
cation
Term
Anion & Cation
Definition
anions & cations participate in ionic bonding
Term
Anion
Definition
gains electrons thus gaining a negative gives it an overall (-) charge
Term
Cation
Definition
have lost electrons thus giving an overall positive charge
Term
Ionic bonds
Definition
results when electrons are transferred
Term
Covalent Bond
Definition
Electrons are shared thus making it a stronger bond
Term
H-Bond
Definition
a type of covalent bond that occurs when H is covalently attached to an O2 or N
Term
Polar Molecule
Definition
result from electrons not equally shared & are water soluble (hydrophillic)
Term
nonpolar molecule
Definition
fats do not dissolve in H2O & are more lipophillic
Term
solvent
Definition
the dissolving fluid agent in the solution
Term
solute
Definition
what gets dissolved
Term
synthesis reaction
Definition
A+B ->AB, inhuman body individual amino acids link together during translation to form one large protein
aa+aa+aa+ -> protein
Term
decomposition reaction
Definition
reactions in which molecules are broken down (degradation reaction) digesting a protein that will break sown aa's during digestion
Term
glycogen
Definition
storage form of glucose found in the liver to skeletal muscles
Term
exergonic reaction
Definition
reactions where energy gets released, tend to be decomposed reactions
Term
endergonic reaction
Definition
where energy is absorbed
Term
salts
Definition
compunds that dissociate into ions when dissolved in H2O
Term
acids
Definition
release H+ ions
ph -> 1-14
ph greater than 7 base
neutral = 7
blood = 7.35 Basic
less than 7 acid
Term
bases
Definition
except H ions, release hydroxylion
ph > 7 (OH-)
Term
ph
Definition
measure of acids to base or how acidic or basic something is
Term
neutralization
Definition
mixing an acid/base in the corrector proportion of 7 or to reach a ph of 7
Term
buffers
Definition
help keep stable ph
-the buffer system consist of acid to base working together to keep a stable ph HCL + NaOH -> H2O + NaCl
Term
Factors that influence reactions
Definition
Temp, PH,
Enzymes, starting reactions
Term
Difference between organic and inorganic compound
Definition
organic compunds contain C and inorganic don't
Term
carbohydrates
Definition
carbs are used to form A&P
Term
monosaccharides
Definition
1 unit sugar
glucose - important blood sugar
fructose - found in fruits/veggies
galactose - milk sugar
Term
dissaccharides
Definition
2 unit sugar
sucrose - glucose + fructose
maltose - glucose + glucose (found in grain products and alcohol)
lactose - glucose + galactose (dairy products)
Term
polysaccharides
Definition
starch: storage form of glucose in plant tissue
glycogen: storage form of glucose in animal tissue, found in skeletal muscles & liver of humans
Term
lipids
Definition
fats contain: C, H, O2
Used to make ATP & are found in fat deposits
Lipids:
Fat Deposits
Cell Membrane
Steroids (hormone)
Term
proteins to include dehydration synthesis reactions & hydrolysis reactions
Definition
soy - plant protein
enzymes - proteins that help reactions occur in body
mm receptors - protein that can sit on the surface of a target cell to receive a hormone or neurotransmitter
Term
enzymes
Definition
proteins that make a reaction go faster
Term
nucleic acids (see notes)
Definition
DNA - double stranded, think of genes found in chromosomes, used to make MRNA
RNA - single stranded, made from DNA, provided protein making instructions
Term
ATP
Definition
"cellular fuel" adenosine triphosphate,
when ATP is converted to ADP energy to do work is released
occurs in mitochondria
