Chapter 2 Part 2 Flashcards
Mixtures
Physically blended but not chemically combined
Solvency
Ability to dissolve other chemicals
Hydrophilic examples
Ions polar molecules, anything with a charge
Hydrophobic examples
No polar, neutral or uncharged
Metabolic reactions depends on
Solvency in water
Will polar ions and molecules mix with water
Yes
Will non polar ions mix with water
No
Adhesion
Water adheres to other substances
Cohesion
Water molecules cling to each other
Chemical reactivity
Ability to participate in chemical reactions
Hydrolysis
Breaking down large molecules into smaller ones
Dehydration synthesis
Joins 2 simple molecules to form a large molecule
Solution
Usually small enough to pass through a cell membrane, solutes small and dissolved in solvent
Acid
A substance that dissociates in solution that produce hydrogen ions
Base or alkaline
A substance that dissociates in solutions to yield cations and hydroxide ions
Salt
A substance that dissociates in solution producing cations and anions not hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions
Ph scale
Acid 0-6.99 base 7.01-14 neutral 7
Buffers
Help prevent large changes in ph
Energy
Any capacity to move something
Potential energy
Energy store in an object
Chemical energy
Potential energy in molecular bonds
Free energy
Potential energy available in a system to do useful work
Kinetic energy
Energy in motion
Heat
Kinetic energy of molecular motion
Chemical reaction
A process in which covalent or ionic bond is formed or broken
Chemical equation
Symbolizes course of chemical reaction
Classes of chemical reactions
Decomposition reactions and synthesis reaction
Decomposition reaction
Large molecule breaks down into two or more smaller ones
Synthesis reaction
Two or more small molecules combined to for a larger one
Reach equilibrium
When ratio of products to reactants is stable
Reactions rates increase when
The reactants are more concentrated, the temperature rises or a catalyst is present
Metabolism
All chemical reactions of the body
Catabolism
Energy increasing decomposition reactions
Word for energy releasing
Exergonic
Anabolism
Energy storing synthesis reactions
Endergonic means
Energy storing
Oxidation
An exergonic reaction in which electrons are removed from a reactant
Reduction
A reaction in which electrons are donated to a reactant
Organic chemistry
The study of compounds containing carbon
Four categories of carbon compounds
Carbohydrates lipids proteins nucleic acids
Macromolecules
Very large organic molecules with high molecular weights
Polymers
Macromolecules made of a chain of monomers
Monomers are linked together by
Dehydration synthesis
Dehydration synthesis
Monomers covalently bonded together to form a polymer with the removal of a water molecule
Hydrolysis
Splitting a polymer with water
Carbohydrates primary function is
Energy
Carbohydrates general formula is
(Ch2o)n
The 3 sizes of carbohydrates
Monosaccharides, disaccharide and polysaccharides
Monosaccharides
Simple sugar types like blood sugar
3 types of monosaccharides
Glucose fructose galactose
Disaccharides
Table sugar
3 types of disaccharides
Sucrose lactose maltose
Polysaccharides
Glycogen stored in skeletal system and liver
Starch
Energy storage in plants that is digestible by humans
Cellulose
Structural molecule in plants important for human digestion fiber but not actually digestible
Are carbohydrates hydrophobic or hydrophilic
Hydrophilic
Lipids
Grouped together because part or the whole molecule is hydrophobic
4 lipids are
Fatty acids triglycerides phospholipids steroids
Fatty acids
chain of 4-24 carbon atoms with carboxyl group on one end and methyl group on the other end
Triglycerides
Three fatty acids linked to glycerol formed by dehydration synthesis
Since triglycerides are hydrophobic how are they transported in the human body
Lipoproteins
Phospholipids
Similar to. Wirral fats but replace one fatty acid with a phosphate group
Composition of phospholipid molecule is
A polar head that forms hydrogen bonds and 2 nonpolar fatty acid tails that only interact with lipids
Composition of cell membrane
A double layer of phospholipids
Cholesterol
Parent steroid with which the other steroids are synthesized
Protein
A polymer of amino acids
Amino acids
Central carbon with 3 attachments
3 attachments of amino acid are
Amino group carboxyl group and radical group
Peptide
Any molecule composed of 2 or more amino acids
Protein structure
Primary secondary tertiary

Shoulders
Acromial
Sides of the back

Middle of back
Vertebral
2 main organ systems in the chest
Circulatory and respiratory
Functions of cardiovascular system
Circulates nutrients oxygen waste and hormones
Function of respiratory system
Exchange of gases maintains ph of blood for speaking
Wall layer of membrane
Parietal
Organ side of membrane
