Part 1 Lecture Study Guide Flashcards
Anatomy
The study of structure (parts) of an organism
Organization of life
atom, molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
Physiology
the study of activities of structures (parts) of an organism
atom
smallest particle of an element with properties of that element
what electrical charge does a proton have and whats its mass?
positive electric charge, mass~1
what electrical charge does a neutron have and whats its mass?
no electrical charge, mass=1
what electrical charge does a electron have and whats its mass?
negative electrcal charge, mass= 1/1600
isotopes
atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
molecule
particles composed of more than 1 atom
compound
molecule containing 2 or more different elements
isomers
different molecules with the same chemical formulae
ions
particles with a net electrical charge
bonds
chemical connections between atoms
ionic bond
the attraction between oppositely charged particles
covalent bond
shared electrons
polar bonds
unequal sharing of electrons
non-polar bonds
equal sharing of electrons
hydrophillic molecules
dissolves in water
hydrophobic moleules
doesn’t dissolve in water
Is the body made up of hydrophobic or hydrophilic things?
hydrophobic
Acid
a chemical that can donate a proton in a solution
base
chemical that can remove a proton from a solution
salt
ionic substance that is neither acid nor a base
Why is water so important
universal solvent, cohesive, Can absorb energy with minimal temperature change, High heat of vaporization, Most dense at 4, Stable in three states simultaneously
