Biological Elements Flashcards
Elements ?
Differnent types of atoms
Distinguishable by the number of protons in their atomic nuclei
What are all living things made of primarily?(elements)
Carbon nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen
Phosphorus and sulphur, sodium potassium , calcium and iron are also important in biochem of cells
BONDING - oxygen
2 bonds
Bonding - carbon
4 bonds

Role of calcium ions
Nerve impulse transmission
Muscle contraction
Bone formation
Sodium ion role
Nerve impulse transmission
Kidney function
Potassium ions function
Nerve impulse transmission
Stomata opening
Hydrogen ions roles
Catalysis of reactions
Ph determination
Ammonium ions role
Production of nitrate ions by bacteria
Role of nitrate ions
Nitrogen apply to plants for amino acid and protein production
Hydrogen carbonate anions - role
Maintenance of blood pH
Chloride ions - role (anion)
Balance protein charge of sodium and potassium ions in cells
Phosphate ions - role
Cell membrane formation
Nuclei can acid and ATM formation
Bone formation
