109
Q

What is a solvent?

A

A substance that dissolves the solute, resulting in a solution

110
Q

What is a polar molecule?

A

A polar molecule has a positive and negative end because of electronegativity. H2O, for example, is a polar molecule because 1) it has lone pairs 2) the oxygen is pulling the electrons from the hydrogen into its vicinity making it have a slightly negative charge while the two hydrogens have a slightly positive charge.

111
Q

What is a hydroxide ion?

A

Hydroxide is a diatomic anion with chemical formula OH−. It consists of an oxygen and a hydrogen atom held together by a covalent bond, and carries a negative electric charge. It is an important but usually minor constituent of water.

112
Q

What is a functional group?

A

a group of atoms responsible for the characteristic reactions of a particular compound.

113
Q

What is a monomer?

A

a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer.

114
Q

What is a dehydration reaction?

A

In chemistry and the biological sciences, a dehydration reaction is usually defined as a chemical reaction that involves the loss of a water molecule from the reacting molecule. Dehydration reactions are a subset of elimination reactions. Because the hydroxyl group (–OH) is a poor leaving group.

115
Q

What is the difference to dehydration reaction hydrolysis reaction?

A

Dehydration is when two molecules come together to produce a water (by bonding OH and H so you have H2O.) Hydrolysis is doing that in reverse. Breaking the H2O into H and OH and therefore breaking the bond.

116
Q

What is a monosaccharide?

A

Monosaccharides are the building blocks of disaccharides like sucrose (common sugar) and polysaccharides (such as cellulose and starch). Further, each carbon atom that supports a hydroxyl group (except for the first and last) is chiral, giving rise to a number of isomeric forms all with the same chemical formula. For instance, galactose and glucose are both aldohexoses, but they have different chemical and physical properties.

117
Q

What is glucose?

A

Glucose is a simple monosaccharide found in plants. It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with fructose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion. Wikipedia

118
Q

What is cellulose?

A

an insoluble substance. A Polysaccharide consisting of glucose monomers that reinforces plants on walls

119
Q

What is a lipid?

A

One of a class of water avoiding compounds

120
Q

What is the function of a lipid?

A

Lipids act as a boundary that surrounds and contains the aqueous contents of your cells. Other types of lipid molecules circulate in your body as chemical signals to cells. Still other lipids known as fats store energy in your body.

121
Q

What is a sterol?

A

A sterol is a particular type of lipid that consists of four fused carbon rings with one oxygen molecule at the end.

122
Q

What is protein?

A

Call constructed from a second 20 amino acid monomers

123
Q

As a polypeptide?

Q

What is an active site?

A

That substrate fits into a part of cool region of the enzyme called the active site.

126
Q

What is the substrate?

A

A specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme is called the enzymes substrate. The substrate fits into a particular region of the enzyme called the active site

127
Q

What is a solution?

A

A uniform, homogeneous mixture of two or more substances

128
Q

What does dilute mean?

Q

How do you find the atomic mass, proton number, neutron number, electron number and mass number of an atom?

A

Atomic Number = Number of Protons
No. of Protons = Number of Electrons (same number + as -)
Atomic Mass = Protons + Neutrons

142
Q

You find the atomic mass?

A

Atomic Mass = Protons + Neutrons

143
Q

Number of protons

144
Q

A

Top

145
Q

What is a compound

A

A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions.

146
Q

What is a disaccharide?

A

Sugar with two monosaccharides

147
Q

What is fructose?

A

Fructose, or fruit sugar, is a simple monosaccharide found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion. Fructose was discovered by French chemist Augustin-Pierre Dubrunfaut in 1847.[3] Pure, dry fructose is a very sweet, white, odorless, crystalline solid and is the most water-soluble of all the sugars.[4] From plant sources, fructose is found in honey, tree and vine fruits, flowers, berries, and most root vegetables..

148
Q

What is glycogen?

A

Polysaccharide in animal cells that consists of many glucose monomers

149
Q

What is a saturated fatty acid?

A

a fatty acid whose carbon chain cannot absorb any more hydrogen atoms; found chiefly in animal fats

150
Q

What is glycerol?

A

Glycerol is a simple polyol compound. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Glycerol has three hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. Wikipedia

151
Q
