Module 2 Flashcards
A chemical compound that consists of ionic composition of positively charged cations amd negatively charged anions, resulting in a substance with no net electric charge
Salts
Necessary for nerve and muscle functions
NaCI- Sodium Chloride
Proper functioning of the different organs of the body such as heart, kidney, muscles, and nerves
KCI - Potassium chloride
Bone and tooth formation
Ca3(PO4)2- Calcium Phosphate
Used to treat and prevent anemia
FeSO4 - Iron sulfate
Prevent seizures in severe pre-eclampsia, eclamsia, or toxermia of pregnancy
MgSO4- Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt)
Anti-septic
Ag NO3 - Silver Nitrate
Medicine for immobilizing casts for broken bones
CaSO4 - Calcium sulfate
For antacid, to alleviate heartburn and stomach upset
CaCO3 - Calcium carbonate
When taken internally, help to diagnose problems in the esophagus anf stomach
BasSO4 - Barium Sulfate
To treat overactige thyroid, to protect thyroid gland from the effects of radiation
KI - Potassium iodide
Most abundant which is chemically formed by the combination of oxygen and hydrogen
Water
Physical Properties of Water
Colorless and tasteless liquid
High melting and boiling points
Has a higher specific heat
Excellent solvent
High latent heat of baporization which helps in the regulation of body temperature
State of matter where the molecules are widely dispersed in a hughly disordered fashion
Gases
Properties of Gases
Diffusibility
Expansibility
Compressibility
2 gases present in Protoplasm
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
Contain carbon and hydrogen and associated with living things
Organic Compounds
Building blocks are glucose molecules
Carbohydrates
Type of Carbohydate
- Simple Sugar
Monosaccharide
Type of Monosaccharide
- blood sugar or dextrose
Glucose
Tyoe of monosaccharide
- fruit sugar
Fructose
Tyoe of Monosaccharide
- milk sugar
Galactose
Type of Carbohydrate
- Double Sugar
Disaccharides
Type of Carbohydrate
- Complex sugar (bonded together)
Polysaccharide
Composed of C,H,O,N and other elements (Fe, Iodine)
Proteins
The polypeptides are arranged parallel along a side of axis to produce long fiber or sheey. They are often structural proteins that provide strength and protection to cell and tissue.
Fibrous Protein
The most abundant protein in vertebrates found in bones, cartilage, and skin
Collagen
Principal componend of hair, skin, nails
Keratin
Blood plasma responsible for blood clotting
Fibrinogen
Actin and myosin, responsible for muscle contraction
Muscle proteins
The polypeptides are tightly folded into spherical or globulat shapes. Transport channels.
Globular Protein
Soluble proteins that are abundant in animal cells, blooc serum, milk amd eggs. The most abundant corculating protein foud in plasma (e.g. drug transport)
Albumins
Component of vertebrate blood used to transport oxygen
Hemoglobin
