AB
ElectronegativityAn atom attracting electrons in form of an ionic bond
macromoleculea polymer that has a function
Valence electronsthe outer shell of an atom
glucosea monosaccharide sugar C6 H12 O6
denatureto change the shape of a protien 4 ways to change...temp, salinity, Ph, and chemical surrounding
lipidsfats-animal, oil plant, waxes-both Made up of carboxyl group and single bonded carbons
glycogen(humans) how humans store glucose. They create a denosine, triphosphate
disaccharide2 sugars ex: sucrose-glucosed, fructose ..lactose-glucosed, galactose
monosaccharidecarbohydrate monomer, single sugar
hydrocarbonssimplest of all organic compounds (4 H's surrounding a C)
polysaccharidemore than 2 saccharides joined together with a polymer
octetfull valence shell (8 or 2)
amino acidscontains both amine and carboxyl functional groups, has peptide pond, 2 or more is a polypeptide
fatty acidsgood fats made up of a carboxyl group; can be staurated or unsaturated
steroidturn cells on and off, speed up or turn off, based off the same 4 carbon ring
saturated fathas no double bonds, solids
unsaturated fathas double bonds, olive oil
hydropholicwater loving
hydrophobicwater fear
phopholipida molecule of glycerol, 2 fatty acids, a phosphate molecule
waxserve as a barrier, molecules of alcohol attached to fatty acids
triglyceride3 fatty acids attached to a molecule of glycerol
prokaryotecells that lack "membrane, organelle, bond, and no nucleus"
eukaryotecells that have "membrane, organelle" bond and nucleus
autotrophmake our own food
aerobicneed oxygen
anaerobicdoes not need oxygen
enzymesbiological catalyst: They speed up reactions without changing themselves ex: gasoline and ice
substratewhenever an emzymes breaks down or puts together
active sitethe part of an enzyme that interacts with the subsstracte
enzymes endingsif it ends in" ASE-is an enzyme OSE-is a sugar
biologythe study of life
taxonomybranch of science that deals with classifying things; started by Aristotle
Linnaean (Kingdoms)Kingdom-animals, Phylum-chordata, class-mammalia, order-primate, family-hominidae, genus-homo, species- homo sapiens, sapiens
all 7 to be alive1. take/release energy, 2. exchange gas, 3. grow, 4. movement inside cell, 5. reproduce, 6. adapt in environment, 7. homeostasis--maintain
proteina polymer of amino acids
examples of proteinkeratin, collagen, hemogloben
isomerssame chemical formulas, different structures
monomersingle organic compound
polymera group of monomers joined together
peptideamino acids linked together
dipeptidea peptide that is composed of 2 amino acids molecules linked by a peptide bond
polypeptide10 or more amino acids
hydrogen bondvery weak bond between 2 partially charged molecules. A protien shape determines its function
covalent bondelectrons are shared
ionic bondgiven and taken away (Na+ and Na - cl)
organic compoundsthe compounds containing carbon that are found in alive things
functional groupscompounds or atoms other than carbon or hydrogen in an organic compound
examples of carbohydratespasta, potatoes, bread, rice, vegitables, bananas
chemical composition of carbohydratescarbon (c) Hydrogen (H) and water (H2O)
dehydrationloss of water or liquids by a cell or organism
synthesisa series of chemical reactions that produces a product or products
hydrolysischemical reaction that breaks a water molecule into a hydrogen and hydroxide ions for other chemical reactions
electronegativity and the periodic tableElectronegativity generally increases as you go from left to right across the periodic table. It decreases as you go down the periodic table.
Calculating electronegativity<.5 = covalent; > .5 and < 2 = polar covalent; > 2 = ionic bond
Lewis dot structuresdiagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule
