Chapter 2 Flashcards
Matter
anything that occupies space and has mass
Mass
the amount of materian in an object - always constant
Weight
varies with gravity
Energy
capacity to do work
kinetic and potential
Potential
stored energy - battery
Kinetic
energy in action - matter is moving - potential is changed to kinetic
Forms of energy
chemical, electrical, mechanical, radiant (electromagnetic)
Chemical
potential is stored in form of bonds between atoms and molecules. Break bond - potential is transformed into kinetic …ATP
Electrical
movement of charged particles - ions move across cell membranes (ions have a charge)
Mechanical
energy that directly moves matter -
Radiant (electromagnetic)
energy that travels in waves - light
Elements that make up 96% of human body
O, C, H, N
Protons
positively charges particles
Neutrons
Neutral - no charge
Electrons
Negatively charged particles - move in random around nucleus
Stable Element
overall charge is 0
Molecule
combo of 2 or more atoms held together by chemical bond - 2 atoms of oxygen bond together to give on molecule of 02 (gas)
Compound
combo of 2 or more different atoms heald together by chemical bond
Mixture
2 or more components physically mixed together
Solutions
homogeneous mixture of 2 or more components
