Gross Anatomy
The study of structures that can be seen with the naked eye
Microscopic anatomy
The study of structures that require a microscope to be seen, including cells and tissues
Protons
Positive charge; identify elements
Neutrons
Neutral
Electron
Negative; ability for chemical reactions
Ionic bonds
Form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating ions
Polar covalent bond
Formed when atoms share electrons unequally
Non-polar covalent bonds
Forms when atoms share electrons equally
Hydrogen bonds
Weak bonds that occur when a hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted to an electronegative atom in another molecule
Cation
Positive charged ion
Anion
Negative charged ion
Organic compounds
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
Carbohydrates
Provide energy and structural support; saccharides/sugars
Lipids
Store energy and make up cell membranes; saturated: solid and unsaturated: liquid
Proteins
Perform various functions including catalyzing reactions and supporting cellular structures; made of amino acids
Nucleic acids
Store and transmit genetic information; DNA and RNA
Enzymes
Speed up chemical reactions
