A | B |
atom | smallest part of an element that still shows the properties of the element |
covalent bond | bond is formed when atoms share electrons |
element | substance composed of only one type of atom |
ion | a charged atom |
isotope | atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses. electrons and protons are balanced but the neutrons differ. |
nonpolar covalent bond | bond formed when atoms share electrons equally |
ph | measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution |
reactants | substances that participate in a chemical reaction |
activation energy | energy need to start a chemical reaction |
hydrogen bond | formed only between hydrogen and nitrogen or oxygen |
subatomic particles | referring small particles that make up atoms including electrons, protons, and neutrons |
base | substance that releases hydroxide ions when dissolved in water |
compound | sunstance composed of two or more different kinds of elements |
electron | negative particle found in an atom |
inorganic compound | compound that does not contain carbon hydrogen together |
ionic bond | bond is formed by the transfer of electrons |
neutron | neutral particle in an atom |
organic compound | compound composed of carbon hydrogen |
proton | positive particle in an atom |
polar covalent bond | bond is formed when electrons are shared unequally |
products | the materials that are formed by a chemical reaction |
monomer | one sub unit ex: glucose |
calories | a measure of how much potential energy something has |
polymer | multiple monomers ex: glycogen |
chemical bonds | the attraction between two atoms resulting of the sharing or transfer of outer electrons ex: chemical, ionic, covalent, polar covalent and hydrogen bonds |
chemical reactions | involves the making and breaking of chemical bonds and are affected by pH |
hydrolosis | the spliting of a molecule by reaction with water |
Fuction of hydrolosis | the splitting of a molecule |
dehydration synthesis | two small molecules are joined forming a larger molecule. A water molecule is release for each addition |
catalyst | something that speed up a chemical reaction |
enzyme | a protein or part-protein molecule made by an organism and used as a catalyst in a specific biochemical reaction |
positive ion | has more protons than electrons |
negative ion | has more electron than protons |
radioactive isotopes | unstable, decay and give off radiation |
valance | outer electron shell |
molecule | smallest unit of compound composed of atoms covalently bonded together |
Body's chemical reactions | Most will only work within a pH range of 7.2-7.6 |
activation energy | the amount of energy it takes to cause a collision powerful enought to make or break bonds |
Six elements found in organic compounds | C H O N P S |
Four types of organic compunds | carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids |
Carboydrate: elements | carbon & hydrogen |
Carboydrate: monomers and function | monosaccharide glucose is a source of energy |
Carboydrate: polymers and function | polysaccharides, starch. energy storage, cellulose |
Lipids: elements | H, C, O |
Lipids: monomers | fatty acids, glycerol |
Lipids: polymers and function | triglycerides, phosolipids, cholesterol. membranes are formed and store energy |
Proteins: elements | C, H, NH2, COOH, R |
Proteins: monomers | amino acid |
Proteins: polymers and functions | polypeptides, peptides bonds, primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure. structural components of cells, messengers, defense against disease. |
Monosaccharides | Carbohydrate 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 |
