Chemistry Comes Alive Flashcards
<p>A physiological system requires two things....</p>
<p>Matter and Energy</p>
<p>Matter that has a defined shape and volume
Matter that has defined volume, no shape
No defined volume or shape</p>
<p>Solid
Liquid
Gas</p>
<p>The capacity to do work</p>
<p>Energy</p>
<p>Energy used to produce work
Stored energy, not currently being used to produce work</p>
<p>Kinetic
Potential Energy</p>
<p>Energy Stored in chemical bonds and concentration differences</p>
<p>Chemical</p>
<p>Energy stored charges, ions</p>
<p>Electrical</p>
<p>Energy of a directly moving object</p>
<p>Mechanical</p>
<p>Energy that travels in waves</p>
<p>Radiant</p>
<p>Energy involved in molecular movement</p>
<p>Thermal</p>
<p>Variable mass numbers due to different number of neutrons. Used in nuclear medicine, decay of radioactive particle; marker for activity</p>
<p>Isotopes</p>
<p>2 or more atoms. Can have the same or different elements.
2 or more DIFFERENT elements</p>
<p>Molecule
Compound</p>
<p>2 or more substances</p>
<p>Mixtures</p>
<p>The substance in greatest quantity in a solution, usually its water
The substance in smaller quantity in a solution, usually ions, proteins, carbs, etc.</p>
<p>Solvent
Solute</p>
<p>moles/liter</p>
<p>Molarity</p>
<p>Number of particles within a solution. May or may not be the same as molarity.
Important in controlling movements of fluids between compartments.</p>
<p>Osmolarity/Osmolality</p>
