exam 1 Flashcards
smallest form of matter that makes up atoms
subatomic particals (protons, neutrons, electrons)
organelles
the organs that make up CELLS surrounded by a solution called cytosol
define “species”
group of similar organisms that can create offspring whom may also reproduce
emergent properties
levels of organization
cellular lvl
organismal lvl
populational lvl
cell theory
organisms are made up of one or more cells, cells are made of preexisting cells dividing into new cells
metabolism
all chemical reactions of an organism
anabolic reactions
consume energy to build complex molecules from simple ones
ex, photosynthesis
catabolic reactions
release energy from complex molectules (amino acids) by breaking them down
homeostasis
ability for an organism to maintain stable inside environment
ex regulating temp
binomial
two names: GENUS and SPECIES
taxonomy
grouping species together
who employed scientific method?
Francesco Redi
C
carbon
N
nitrogen
H
hydrogen
S
sulfer
P
phosphorus
Na
sodium
K
potassium
Ca
calcium
Fe
iron
Cl
chlorine
element
substance cannot be further broken down by chemical reaction
compound
2 or more elements combines in a fixed ratio
what tell you the amount of electrons in an atom?
atomic number
what is mass number?
protons + neutrons in an atom
isotopes
2 atoms of same element that have same # of protons and different # of neutrons
what forms chemical bonds?
electrons
ionic bonds
when atoms gain or lose electrons in order to fill energy shells
ex
Na loses e-,filled outer shell is Na+
Cl gains to fill outer level becomes Cl-
covalent bonds
two atoms sharing electrons to become stable
polar covalent bonds
atoms dont share electron equally
ex O- — H+
NEEDY OXYGEN SMH
nompolar covalent bonds
share electrons equally
ex O = O
:)
chemical reaction
making or breaking bonds to form new ones
solutions
solute, solvent, solution
sodium, water, dissolvent
what kind of bonds does water have?
polar covalent bonds
what happens to water when it freezes?
water expands, ice is less dense than water bc molecules are spaced out
hydrophillic
water loving uwu <3
cohesive
2 of same things stick together
ex water bonds
adhesive
2 diff things stick together
hydrophobic effect
oil n water dont mix bruv
acids vs. bases and H+
acids increase H+
bases decrease H+
pH acidic vs. basic?
lower pH is acidic
higher pH is basic
catalysis
speeds up chemical reactions
buffers
molecules resist change in pH when acid or base is added
biological molecules are made up of…
monomers (building blocks)
polymers (chains of building blocks)
dehydration synthesis reactions
smaller biomolecules built/created into larger biomolecules
hydrolysis reactions
breaking down larger biomolecules to smaller biomolecules
4 types of macromolecules
protien, nucleic acids, carbs, lipids
carbohydrates can be either…
sugars or polymers of sugars
monosaccharides make up larger…
carbohydrates (building blocks)
cellular respiration
releasing of energy when glucose is broken apart
sucrose is made up of…
glucose and fructose
disaccharides are…
sugars made of 2 monosaccharide subunits
storage polysaccharides
long polymers of glucose subunits used to sotee energy
