chapter 2 Flashcards
Matter
Has mass and take space can be seen, smelled, or felt
Energy
Is the capacity to do work or put matter to motion. Does not have mass, no space.
Kinetic / potential
Kinetic- action
Potential- stored inactive energy
Forms of energy
Chemical
Electrical
Mechanical
Radiant
Chemical
Stores in bonds of chemical sub
Electrical
Movement of charged particles
Mechanical
Directly in moving matter
Radiant
Travels in waves (ex: heat, x rays, visible light)
Atomic number
off protons in nucleus
number of protons in nucleus
Isotopes
Structural vartiy of same element
Atomic weight
Average of mass # of all isotope forms of an atom
Mass number
Total number of protons and neutrons in nucleus
Four elements
OCHN make up 96% of body mass
O
65%
(Oxygen) used to generate ATP, a molecule
used by cells to temporarily store chemical energy.
C
(Carbon) 18%
Forms backbone chains and rings of all organic molecules: carbohydrates, lipids (fats), proteins, and nucleIc acids (DNA and RNA)
H
9.5%
(Hydrogen) A proton it influences the PH of body fluids.
N
(Nitrogen) proteins and nucleic acids
protons
positive charge (+) and weigh 1 amu (atomic mass unit)
