Chapter 2 Flashcards
matter can be changed
physically or chemically
energy
the ability to do work
forms of energy
1)chemical 2)electrical 3) mechanical 4)radiant
energy used in body
electrical and chemical
4 elements that make up 96% of our body
Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen
Ionic bond
when an electron is completely transferred from one atom to another
Covalent bond
atoms share an atom
anion
negatively charged
cation
positively charged
hydrogen bonds
weak bonds that are attracted to negative poles. help form shapes of molecules
synthesis reaction
two atoms or molecules combine
decomposition reaction
two atoms or molecules split
anabolic
forms something in the body
catabolic
breaks something down in the body
exchange reactions
mix of both synthesis and decomposition reactions where molecules are switched around
longer arrow signifies
more rapid reaction
factors that increase the rate of chemical reactions
temperature, concentration of the particles, smaller particles, catalyst
inorganic compounds
no carbon, smaller
organic compounds
have carbon. larger
vital properties of water
high heat capacity, polarity properties (things dissolve in it), chemically reactive, cushion
reactions that need water
hydrolysis reactions
all salts are
electrolytes
most common salts in body
those containing calcium and phosphorus
are acids organic or inorganic?
inorganic
paste of digested food that leaves the stomach
acidic chalmas
acids release what type of ion?
H+
Bases release what type of ion?
Hydroxyl OH-
acids and bases react to form water and salt in a
neutralization reaction
neutral ph #
7
ph of blood
7.4
below 7 is
acidic
chemicals that regulate ph change
buffers
polymer
chain like molecule made up of smaller units
dehydration synthesis
water is removed to join monomers together
hydrolysis
polymers are broken down by the addition of a water molecule
carbohydrates contain
oxygen, carbon, hydrogen
lipids are _____ in water
insoluble
a single simple sugar chain
monosaccharide
two simple sugars joined together
disaccharide
long chain of simple sugars
polysaccharide
triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids are all
lipids
cholesterol is a
steroid
neutral fats
triglycerides
fat that has single covalent bonds
saturated fat
fat that is liquid at room temperature
unsaturated fat
____ fat can’t be metabolized
trans
fat that has double covalent bonds
unsaturated fat
over half of the bodies matter is made of
proteins
antibodies are
proteins
amino acid chains with less than 50 amino acids are called
polypeptides
collagen helps with
skin elaticity
holds oxygen in red blood cells
hemoglobin
_____ proteins are sensitive to heat and acid
globular
protein that acts as a catalyst
enzymes
names of enzymes end in
-ase
largest molecules in the body
nucleic acids
5 nitrogen bases
adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, uracil
adenine goes with
thymine
function of RNA
carries out the protein synthesis directed by the DNA
3 types of RNA
messenger, ribosomal, transfer
RNA substitutes _____ for Thymine
uracil
most common work for atp
transport work
