Biology Chemistry of Life Cards

AB
atomsmallest part of an element that still shows the properties of the element
covalent bondbond is formed when atoms share electrons
elementsubstance composed of only one type of atom
iona charged atom
isotopeatoms of the same element that have different atomic masses. electrons and protons are balanced but the neutrons differ.
nonpolar covalent bondbond formed when atoms share electrons equally
phmeasures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution
reactantssubstances that participate in a chemical reaction
activation energyenergy need to start a chemical reaction
hydrogen bondformed only between hydrogen and nitrogen or oxygen
subatomic particlesreferring small particles that make up atoms including electrons, protons, and neutrons
basesubstance that releases hydroxide ions when dissolved in water
compoundsunstance composed of two or more different kinds of elements
electronnegative particle found in an atom
inorganic compoundcompound that does not contain carbon hydrogen together
ionic bondbond is formed by the transfer of electrons
neutronneutral particle in an atom
organic compoundcompound composed of carbon hydrogen
protonpositive particle in an atom
polar covalent bondbond is formed when electrons are shared unequally
productsthe materials that are formed by a chemical reaction
monomerone sub unit ex: glucose
caloriesa measure of how much potential energy something has
polymermultiple monomers ex: glycogen
chemical bondsthe attraction between two atoms resulting of the sharing or transfer of outer electrons ex: chemical, ionic, covalent, polar covalent and hydrogen bonds
chemical reactionsinvolves the making and breaking of chemical bonds and are affected by pH
hydrolosisthe spliting of a molecule by reaction with water
Fuction of hydrolosisthe splitting of a molecule
dehydration synthesistwo small molecules are joined forming a larger molecule. A water molecule is release for each addition
catalystsomething that speed up a chemical reaction
enzymea protein or part-protein molecule made by an organism and used as a catalyst in a specific biochemical reaction
positive ionhas more protons than electrons
negative ionhas more electron than protons
radioactive isotopesunstable, decay and give off radiation
valanceouter electron shell
moleculesmallest unit of compound composed of atoms covalently bonded together
Body's chemical reactionsMost will only work within a pH range of 7.2-7.6
activation energythe amount of energy it takes to cause a collision powerful enought to make or break bonds
Six elements found in organic compoundsC H O N P S
Four types of organic compundscarbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids
Carboydrate: elementscarbon & hydrogen
Carboydrate: monomers and functionmonosaccharide glucose is a source of energy
Carboydrate: polymers and functionpolysaccharides, starch. energy storage, cellulose
Lipids: elementsH, C, O
Lipids: monomersfatty acids, glycerol
Lipids: polymers and functiontriglycerides, phosolipids, cholesterol. membranes are formed and store energy
Proteins: elementsC, H, NH2, COOH, R
Proteins: monomersamino acid
Proteins: polymers and functionspolypeptides, peptides bonds, primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure. structural components of cells, messengers, defense against disease.
MonosaccharidesCarbohydrate monomers are known as monosaccharides. This group includes glucose, C6H12O6, which is a key substance in biochemistry. Sugars that an animal eats are converted into glucose, which is then converted into energy to fuel the animal’s activities by respiration
