Elements of interest

A

Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur

17
Q

Atoms

A

Smallest complete unit of element

18
Q

3 particles of atoms

A

Protons, neutrons, and electrons

19
Q

Nucleus

A

Protons and neutrons packed tightly to form a dense core

20
Q

Free electron

A

Electron in the outermost orbit that’s easily moved

21
Q

Molecules

A

Unstable atoms combine chemically by sharing electrons, 2 or more of the same atoms joined by chemical bonds

22
Q

Compounds

A

Created chemically uniting 2 different elements

Unique chemical and physical characteristics

23
Q

Chemical reaction

A

Occurs in the atom’s outer shell, leads to composition of the client’s needs, occurs when two or more chemicals are mixed

24
Q

Oxidation

A

Loses electron, requires oxygen

25
Reduction
Gains electron, oxygen is released
26
Ions
Charged atoms in a chemical reaction, attract or repel based on their charge
27
Ionic bond
When positive and negative ions join, they’re held together
28
Covalent bond
If there’s no trading and atoms are sharing electrons, they’re held together
29
Chemical bonds
Forces that hold atoms together in compounds
30
3 biochemical compound groups
Proteins Carbs Lipids
31
Enzymes
Dissolve and break down larger molecules into smaller ones
32
Amino acids
Compounds - C, O, H, N form protein chains by joining
33
Peptide bond
Unites two amino acid groups
34
Polypeptide bond
Thousands of amino acids to form chain
35
Monomers
Basic building block molecules, connect to form larger and more complex compounds
36
Lipids
C, H, O - not formed by linkage of basic molecule units | Synthesized by body and used in biological functions, fills in intercellular spaces in skin
