Q

What are the different aspects of The Scientific Method in order to create scientific knowledge that is backed by evidence?

A

Make observations and based on those observations, ask questions, and then create a hypothesis based on those observations. Make predictions to test that hypothesis and then design tests of those predictions to test hypothesis

Q

Isotope

A

Regardless of an atom gaining weight because the amount of neutrons are increasing, it will still stay the same element because the amount of protons remains unchanged

57
Q

Hydrogen(state the chemical symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, attributes, existence)

A

Chemical symbol is H, Atomic number is 1, atomic mass is 1, since atomic mass = proton + neutrons and atomic number = protons, then neutrons = 0. It is gas, colorless, tasteless, flammable in air. Usually exists as H2 (two hydrogen elements combined)

58
Q

What are two different names for hydrogen isotopes

A

Deuterium(1 neutron) and tritium(2 neutrons)

59
Q

Carbon(state the chemical symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, attributes, existence)

A

Chemical symbol is C, the atomic number is 6, the atomic mass is 12, the number of neutrons is 6(12 - 6 = 6). Usually found in hydrocarbons, used to make organics. Used for fuel

60
Q

Compound

A

Two or more different chemical elements together

61
Q

Nitrogen(state the chemical symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, attributes, existence)

A

N(usually just the first letter of the element), the atomic number is 7 and mass number is 14, so the number of neutrons is 7. It’s attributes that it is gas, colorless, tasteless. All living things contain nitrogen. Human body contains 3% of nitrogen

62
Q

Oxygen(state the chemical symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, attributes, existence)

A

Chemical symbol is O, the atomic number is 8, meaning the number of protons is 8, the atomic mass number is 16, so 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons. It is a gas that is colorless and makes up about 20% of the atmosphere. Humans inhale molecular oxygen(oxygen plus oxygen or O2), not atomic oxygen(O). Used as a final electron acceptor(important)

63
Q

True or false, in an atom the amount of protons is equal to the number of electrons

A

In this class, this is true, although the electrons are not part of the nucleus

64
Q

How do atoms combine together to form molecules?

A

An atom’s electron capacity is determined by how many shells it has. If an atom has the atomic number of 20, then it should have 8 more electrons to hold(since it has three shells and the total amount it can hold is 28). Then that can combine with other atoms in need of others electrons to share electrons and create a chemical reaction, thus creating a molecule.

65
Q

Sometimes, there isn’t a molecule made because ______

A

One atom is very electronegative and snatches an electron from another. Now that atom has a negative charge(because it has one more electron than proton), and the other atom has a positive charge(because it has one more proton than electron since it just lost one)

66
Q

Organic molecule

A

Any molecule that contains at least one carbon-hydrogen bond(CH in the molecule)

67
Q

Chemical compounds

A

molecules containing atoms from two or more different elements(so o2 is not a chemical compound)

73
Q

The Cell Theory

A
74
Q

What is the difference between cells functioning and cells surviving independently?

A

Cells like bacteria and unicellular organisms are good at functioning by themselves, but if you were to just take out a cell from our body (ex: skin cell) and ask it to survive on it’s own, it would die as it would depend on other cells to live

79
Q

Reactants

A

The compounds and molecules that are before the chemical reaction

80

82
Q

What are the three different types of atomic bonds?(when two atoms share electrons and then form to create a molecule)

A

Covalent bond, ionic bond, hydrogen bond

83
Q

Covalent bond

A

This is like your normal bond, and it is when two atoms share electrons in order to form a molecule or a bigger, more complex molecule

84
Q

Ions

A

An atom or molecule with either a positive or negative charge due to a loss of an electron from another molecule or atom with a high electronegativity

85
Q

Ionic bond

A

Let’s say an atom loses an electron and give an electron to another atom. They are now ions. The atom that had just gave the electron is now positively charged, and the other one is negatively charged. Because of this, they attract each other, as opposites attract, but they do not share electrons

86
Q

Hydrogen bond

A

This is found between two or more molecules and is different from an ionic bond. Because the hydrogen’s negativity is low, when it forms a covalent bond with another atom (ex: oxygen to create water), it is partially positively charged. When another molecule gets closer to it with a partially negatively charged, they form a very weak bond as they are still attracted to each other and kind of hover towards each other

87
Q

Polar molecule

A

This is when one atom that is less electronegative or one atom that is more electronegative forms a bond with another atom and is either partially negatively charged or positively charged. The molecule is now _____.

88
Q

Polar covalent bond (provide and example and explain why)

A

An example of a polar covalent bond is h2o because the electrons for hydrogen is closer to the nucleus than oxygen is but this is formed through a covalent bond because they are sharing electrons

89
Q

electronegativity

A

the strength or desirability for sharing electrons

90
Q

Is oxygen electronegative?

A

Yes, oxygen is very electronegative and when it forms a covalent bond with another atom, it will have a partially negative charge, unlike hydrogen

91
Q

Why is water polar?

A

Because of cohesion, adhesion, and hydrogen bonds

92
Q

cohesion

A

the interaction between like molecules. ex: water interacting with water

93
Q

adhesion

A

the interaction between different molecules. ex: water droplets interacting with glass

94
Q

solution

A

a completely homogenous mixture made of two or more substances (ex: salt water)

95
Q

solvent

A

the substance in which something in is dissolved

96
Q

solute

A

the substance that is dissolved

97
Q

What is a homogeneous mixture?

A

When you mix the solvent and solute, you cannot tell the different between the two, for example Cool Aid, you remember that the solvent was water and solute was the powder, but it doesn’t look like powder inside of water, but just like red water. You can’t differentiate between the two

98
Q

Why does water interact well with ions and polar molecules?

A

It’s because water is made of H2O, and that is a polar molecule itself(hydrogen has a very low electronegativity, and oxygen has a very high electronegativity), so when it sees something that is partially positive or partially negative, or even negative or positive, it can interact well because opposites attract

99
Q

Hydrophobic

A

Molecules that don’t mix well with water. For example, fats and oils, or all nonpolar molecules because they are chargeless

100
Q

Hydrophilic

A

Molecules that mix well with water

101
Q

The three different phases of water

A

Liquid, gas, and solid

102
Q

What happens when water freezes?

A

The hydrogen bonds are stronger and water molecules can be less spaced out, and therefore it takes up more space than water but is less dense(because it takes up most space but has less weight, density is the relationship between weight and space)

103
Q

What happens when water is in liquid form?

A

Water is in that liquid form because the hydrogen bonds are constantly breaking and reforming

104
Q

acid

A

they give up hydrogen ions

105
Q

This is the name of the simple sugar and is used to create polymers, or polysaccharides. This is also used to create ATP, or energy for cellular life

109
Q

What are some examples of carbohydrates?

A

118
Q

What is the polymer for nucleic acid?

A

119
Q

What is an example of a polynucleotide?

A

DNA and RNA

120
Q

What is an example of a mononucleotide?

A

One part of the polymer that is made through an arrangement of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine

121
Q

Complete explanation of the genome

A

Basically, in the genome there contains the full genetic information for the cell that can be used as instructions, and so it contains polynucleotides, such as DNA, which is formed using a strand of nucleotides. The nucleotides are formed when there is one nitrogenous base(adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine), one phosphate group, and one simple sugar, which is the carbohydrate monomer.

122
Q

129
Q

What are the different parts of a cell?

A

The plasma membrane, phospholipids, and liposome

130
Q

plasma membrane

A

The area of the cell that protects the inner parts of the cell from interacting with the outer environment

131
Q

Phospholipids, plasma membrane, and liposome

A

Phospholipids consist of fatty acid tails that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic heads. When these molecules are in an aqueous environment, they arrange themselves so that the hydrophilic heads face the water and the hydrophobic tails face away from the water, forming a phospholipid bilayer, which creates the plasma membrane. Liposomes are spherical vesicles formed from a phospholipid bilayer and are used in drug delivery and research.

132
Q

Selective permeability

A

the phospholipid bilayer, or membrane that lets some substances pass through the cells and some that don’t

133
Q

What are proteins used for in the phospholipid bilayer or the membrane?

A

They can move molecules through the membrane, and allow what molecules to enter the membrane and what not

134
Q

transport proteins

A

these are channels and pumps that move molecules through the membrane

135
Q

REVIEW THE DIFFERENT PROTEINS WITHIN THE MEMBRANE IN THE C LECTURE

A

Okay!

136
Q

Diffusion

A

This is when more particles move to an area with less particles (concentration difference), and this connects back to membrane movement because of transport proteins that allow these particles to move in and out of the membrane

137
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Makes particles easier to transport toward the side where there are less particles through transport proteins or whatever rather than simple diffusion

138
Q

passive transport

A

it doesn’t need any external energy nor assistance to move from one side to another, unlike active transport
