What is a compound
Pure chemical substance made up of Atoms of two or more different elements
What is ionic bond
Chemical bond created by The electrical attraction between anions and cations
What is a covalent bond
A chemical bonds between Atoms that involves sharing electrons
What is a molecule
A chemical structure containing two or more atoms that are bonded together by sharing electrons
Types of matter and examples
Solid liquid gas
Books water oxygen
What is a Reactant
Items in reacting substances in chemical reaction
What are products
The different substances formed from chemical reaction
What is metabolism
The sum of all bio chemical process underway within the human body at any moment. anabolism and catabolism
What is work
Movement of an object or a change in physical structure a matter
What is energy
Capacity to do work; movement or physical change cannot take place without energy
What is Kinetic Energy
Energy of motion; can be transferred to another update and do work
What is Potential energy
Stored energy; potential to do work
What is decomposition/catabolism reaction
Reactions breakdown a molecule into smaller fragments
What is synthesis/anabolism reaction
Small molecules to large molecules
What is activation energy
The amount of energy required to start a reaction
What are enzymes
Pro Tien that catalyzes a specific biochemical reaction
What are catalyst
Compound that speed up reactions
What is the pH scale
Scale that indicates hydrogen ion concentration
What is ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Hi Energy compound with three phosphates

Atoms are basic particles of matter. chemistry is science of the structure of matter. matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. mass is the amount of material in the matter. physical property or gravity weight. Add Tim is this most stable unit of matter. Mass of an atom is determined by the protons and electrons in the nucleus.

Atoms- H, 2H
Molecules- H2, H2O
Reactions- 2H+O=H2O
Ions-Na+, Cl-, Ca2+
Reading page 35 and 36
States of matter
Solid-keep their shape at ordinary temperature and pressure.
Liquid-shape of a liquid is determined by its container they only keep constant volume.
Gas- no constant volume no fixed shape can be compressed and expanded
WATER-can be liquid solid and gas
Reading page 36
Basic energy concepts. Energy cannot be destroyed only converted one to the other. Potential energy and kinetic energy Are not 100% efficient. Energy is released as heat; cannot be captured or used as work.
Reading page 37
Catabolism- covalent bond(potential energy) is broken, it releases kinetic energy that can to work.
Anabolism- takes energy to make chemical bond
Reading page 38
Activation energy-need enzymes
Enzymes- lower activation Energy(help)
Catalyst- accelerate rate or speed up reactions does not affect the end product
Page 39 and 40
Physiological systems depend on water
- Solubility
- Reactivity
- high heat capacity
- lubrication
Page 41
Hydrophilic-molecule that interacts readily with the water molecules
Hydrophobic-molecules that do not readily interact with water molecules
Page 42+43
PH scale
Neutral 7, hydrogen ions equal hydroxide ions
Acidic below 7, more hydrogen ions
Basic above 7, more hydroxide ions
