proton, neutron, electron
part of the atom key to chemical bonding
electron
describe the ionic bond
giving & taking of e-
describe covalent bond
sharing of a pair of e-
describe H-bond
bond of attraction btwn polar molecules
what is pH scale
0-14
what is an acid solution
pH less than 7
what is an alkaline solution
pH greater than 7
normal pH in human body
7.4
4 groups of biochemical compounds
carbs, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids
4 major organic compound groups
carbs, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids
function of carbs
energy- store & source
name 3 different monosaccharides
make fucking guys good
fructose, galactose, glucose
3 different disaccharides
do my legs sag
maltose, lactose, sucrose
3 different polysaccharides
please stop giving come
starch, glycogen, cellulose,
function of lipids
store energy, make membranes
function of proteins
fights disease, makes up bones, digest food
why is protein structure so important to function
shape of protein tells what it does-conformation
part of every protein
amino acids
2 types of information molecules
DNA & RNA
units of nucleic acids
nucleotides
letters of 4 different nucleotides that make up DNA
ACTG
importance of nucleotides in ATP
energy currency
compare polar and nonpolar molecules
polar=have charges
nonpolar=no charge
what is cell nucleus
control center
what is chromatin
genetic material
function of nucleolus
makes ribosomes
what is made when a gene is expressed
protein
where do ribosomes form and what is important about their function
found in nucleolus and are site of protein synthesis
