final review Flashcards
know everything hoe
ionic
held together by opposite charges
covalent
electrons are shared between atoms
hydrogen
increases melting and boiling point of substances
protons
positive electric charge
neutrons
neutral electric charge
electrons
negative electric charge
adhesion
attraction of molecules of one kind for molecules of a different kind
cohesion
attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind
what is the differences between element, molecule, and compound
element is Simplest substance
molecule is two or more atoms that are chemically bound
a compound is made up of two or more elements
ph scale
measure of how basic/ acidic a substance is
basic (pH)
pH greater than 7 is basic
acid (pH)
a pH less than 7 is acidic
carbohydrates
glucose, fructose
what do sugars usually end in
ose
lipids
glycerol, and fatty acids
nucleic acids
nucleotide
monomers of DNA
nucleotide
monomers of RNA
guanine, cytosine, adenine, and uracil
proteins
composed of amino acids
what is primary structure
amino acid of polypeptide chain
secondary structure
local spatial arrangement of polypeptide backbone
tertiary structure
structure of entire polypeptide chain
Quaternary structure
protein chains packed very closely
denature of proteins
breaking of bonds
what causes denaturing
when secondary and tertiary structure of a protein is altered
what are enzymes
proteins that help speed up chemical reactions
what do enzymes do in biological chemical reactions
increase rate of reaction without being consumed
organelle of the cell
also called vesicles
organelles function
store genetic info
endosymbiotic theory
some of the organelles in eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes
three parts of cell theory
- all organisms are made of cells
- all original cells are produced by other living cells
- the cell is the most basic unit of life
light microscope
creating a magnified image through the use of a series of glass lenses
what is active and passive transport
Active transport requires energy for the movement of molecules whereas passive transport does not require energy for the movement of molecules
electron microscope
uses a beam of electrons and their wave-like characteristics to magnify an object’s image
what is selective permeable
some substances are able to pass through the membrane, while other substances are not able to pass through
what is diffusion
movement of molecules from an area of high concentration
what is osmosis
the net movement of water across a semipermeable surface
law 1 of thermodynamics
the total energy of a system remains constant, even if it is converted from one form to another
law 2 of thermodynamics
amount of useful work that can be done
what is probability
the chance that a certain event will occur
