Q

How does the body control homeostasis?

A

Through negative and positive feedback mechanisms.
- Negative feedback causes the variable to change in the opposite direction. (Ex. Sweating to maintain body temperature)

  • Positive feedback cause the variable to accelerate the change in the same direction. (Ex. Blood clotting)

31
Q

What is the difference between a compound and a molecule?

A

Molecules describe any atoms that are connected by chemical bonds. A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.
All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.

32
Q

What is the mass #?

A

The number of protons and neutrons

33
Q

How do you calculate mass number?

A

Adding the number of protons and neutrons.

Can also be found in the periodic table

34
Q

What are the subatomic particles?

A

Protons(+), electrons(-) and neutrons(have no charge)

35
Q

What are the rules for the electron shell?

A

The last shell is always filled with 8 electrons. If any element has all its electrons filled in the last shell it is stable. If it doesn’t have all 8 electrons in the last shell, it is unstable. This will cause a chemical reaction to occur in order for the atom to get the 8 needed electrons.

36
Q

What is an Isotope?

A

Atoms that contain the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

37
Q

How to stabilize the chemical behavior of an atom?

A

Have it react with another element in order for it to gain the 8 necessary electrons.

38
Q

What is a polar-covalent bond?

A

Has an unequal sharing of electrons

39
Q

What is a non-polar covalent?

A

Has an equal sharing of electrons

40
Q

What is the difference between polar covalent and non-polar covalent bonds?

A

polar covalent have unequal sharing of electrons and the nonpolar covalent have equal sharing of electrons

41
Q

What are all the types of chemical bonds? (Hint covered in class)

A

Covalent bonds: sharing one or more electron with another atom
- single covalent bond
- Double covalent bonds
- Triple covalent bonds
Hydrogen bonds: bonds between adjacent molecules. Maintain double helix structure of DNA.
Ionic bonds: losing or gaining one electrons
- Cations: electron donor
- Anions: electron acceptor

42
Q

What is sodium bicarbonate?

A

The body uses HCO3+ and H2CO3- to maintain pH levels

43
Q

What are the properties of water?

A

Solubility: soluble in water

Makes a larger molecule into a smaller molecule. Breaking something down

45
Q

What is an anabolic reaction?

A

Build up complex molecules from simpler ones

46
Q

What is the difference between a catabolic reaction and an anabolic reaction?

A

Catabolic reaction breaks down large molecules into smaller ones. Anabolic reaction joins small molecules into larger molecules

47
Q

What are amino acids?

A

A

To speed up the chemical reaction in the human body

62
Q

How does an enzyme interact with a substrate?

A

Is an anabolic reaction. Substrate bind to the active site of enzymes. Once bound, the substrates are held together. This binding alters the shape of the enzymes, and this change promotes product formation. Product detaches from enzymes.

68
Q

Where are each type of lipid found?
