25
Antioxidants
Group of vitamins and minerals with phytochemicals and enzymes (phytonutrients)
26
What is a molecule
Discrete group of atoms bonded together
27
Compound
Electrically neutral substance with 2 or more elements
28
What is Bonding
Ions that are trying to be stable bond with another ion
29
What is Ionic bonding
1 element donates electrons to another
30
What is Covalent bonding
2 elements Share electrons
31
What is polor bonding
1 element has more pull in a bond
32
Electronegativity
Pull electrons towards them = uneven charge leaving 1 part molecule slightly +vet and the other -ve
33
What is hydrogen bonding
The attraction between hydrogen +ve and -ve charged atoms When it bonds to a more electronegative atom and becomes more -ve and attract a +ve one
34
Hydrophilic
Molecules have polor bonds that devolve easily in water (ie alcohol
35
Hydrophobic
Molecules contain non- polar covalent bonds so do not dissociate easily in water (i.e. Fats)
36
Electrolytes
Something that produces energy. Ionic compound that dissolves in a solution
37
Acid
Substances that releases high H+ ions when desolated in water
38
Bases
Substance binds hydrogen ions in solution = lots of OH-
39
Water ph
7
40
Acidic ph
7 and below
41
Alkaline number
7 and above
42
Meaning of PH
Potential of hydrogen
43
Buffer systems
Substances maintain the H+ concentration in normal limits
44
Name the types of energy
Potential, kinetic, chemical energy and Change of state into heat
45
What is potential energy
Stored
46
What is kinetic energy
Movement
47
What is chemical energy
Stored energy between bonds of different atoms
48
What are the 4 states of matter
Solid, liquid, gas and plasma
49
What is a chemical reaction
Occurs when new bonds are formed and old bonds are broken between different molecules
50
Endothermic reaction
Takes in heat from environment to use as energy ( rarer)
51
Endothermic reaction
Gives out/ releases heat into environment
52
Endo
Internal / within
53
Exo
From outside
54
What's the min tam called for partials to react
Energy of activation or activation energy
55
What are catalysts
Enzymes
56
How do catalysts work
Speed up reaction by lowering the activation energy needed. | Faster reaction at lower temperature
57
What are inhibitors
Stop catalysts being so effective ( sit in enzyme activation sites) Increase activation energy and slow reaction time down.
58
Anabolic reaction
Joining together synthesis reaction generally endothermic
59
Catabolic reaction
Break down reaction generally exothermic
60
What are the 2 types of chemical reaction
Anabolic and catabolic
61
What is metabolism
Anabolic and catabolic
62
What is hydrolysis
When water is the medium that breaks down the molecules into smaller pieces
63
What is condensation / dehydration synthesis reaction
When water is formed as the waste product of reaction
64
Reversible reaction
A reaction can be reversed once broken can be cut back together and vis verser = equilibrium
