Chap 2. Chemical basis 2 Flashcards
Structure two or more atoms chemically bond to one another =
molecules
chemical reaction=
process of covalent or ionic bond is broken or formed
small molecules combined form larger=
synthesis
solution can be mixture of:
solids, liquids, and gas
solution with pH7.0=
neutral solution
pH scale=
hydrogen ion concentration in solution
clinical condition blood pH below 7.35=
acidosis ( alkalosis)
buffers=
resists changes in pH
O2 in human body=
extract energy (ATP) from food molecules
glucose molecules=
C6 H12 O6
after metabolized, CO2 (carnbondioxide) is formed as a waste product.
Polar=
electo negative (electron grabbers) oxygen + H = H2O
non-polar=
atoms in the molecule share their electrons equally
lactose=
disaccharide (2)
deoxyribose=
monosaccharide
starch=
polysaccharide
ATP=
adenosin triphosphate
=covalent bonds
water stabilize body temperature by:
- evaporating from surface of body
- absorbing large amounts of heat
Weak attraction between positive region of a hydrogen and negative region of another molecule is=
hydrogen bond
+ oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine
catalysts=
substances increase the rate of chemical reactions
chemical reaction=
form or break chemical bond.
- substance=reactants
- result=products
glycin=
P.46
simplest amino acid. =H2
side chain is a hydrogen atom.
triglycerides=
95% of fats in human body.
two building blocks:
1=glycerol
3-fatty acids
mixture VS
solution
suffix: ase=
lipase, protease
enzymes
