chapter 2 Flashcards
Anything with mass and taking up space. Anything seen, smelled or felt.
Matter
Capacity to do work
Energy
Stored energy, not used
Potential Energy
Energy in motion
Kinetic Energy
How many different kinds of elements in the human body?/ What are the 4 most common?
20/ Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen
Two of more combined atoms of the same element
Molecule
Two or more combined atoms of different elements
Molecule/compound
Attractions between two or more atoms
Chemical Bonds
Atoms are composed of ___
Subatomic Particles
Positive Charged Subatomic Particles
Protons
Negative Charged Subatomic Particles
Electrons
Subatomic Particles with no charge
Neutrons
Outermost shell of an atom
Valence Shell
How many electrons in a stable valence shell?
8
not a physical bond, but an energy relationship
Bond
A type of bond formed when valence shell electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The strongest bond.
Ionic bond
Type of bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons
Covalent bond
The bond that is between the electropositive H of one molecule and the electro negative O/N of another. Weak bond Ex. Water bonds
Hydrogen bond
Larger molecules are constructed from smaller ones. Reaction requires energy
Anabolic reaction
Larger molecules are broken down, Energy is released
Catabolic reaction
Removing a molecule of water to join two smaller molecules.
Dehydration synthesis (anabolic)
A molecule of water is inserted into a polymer, which is split into two smaller molecules
Hydrolysis (Catabolic)
What speeds up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy?
Enzymes
Where the enzyme and the substrate combine
Active site
Heat, pH extremes, chemicals. electricity, radiation
Factors that can denature (change the shape of) your enzymes
Chemistry of life
Biochemistry
compounds that include acids, bases, water and salts. most dont contain carbon
Inorganic compounds
Compounds that include carbon and covalent bonds in their structure
Organic compounds
