Q

What is catabolic reaction or catabolism?

A

Highly complex decomposition reaction in the human body

Uses hydrolysis

24
Q

What is hydrolysis?

A

Breaking with water

25
Q

What does lyse or lysis mean?

A

Break apart

26
Q

What is synthesis reaction?

A

Build or create something

27
Q

What is anabolic reaction or anabolism?

A

Complex synthesis reaction in the human body

Uses dehydration

28
Q

What is dehydration or condensation?

A

Removing water from something

29
Q

What is metabolism?

A

All the chemical reactions that occur inside you

Catabolic + anabolic

30
Q

What is exchange reaction?

A

Breaks bonds and atoms exchange partners

31
Q

Are many chemical reactions reversible?

A

Yes but not all easily reversed

32
Q

What is equilibrium?

A

2 reactions (synthesis and decomposition) happening at the same rate

33
Q

What are the 3 things that affect the rate of a reaction and how?

A

1) temperature
Reaction goes faster when heated and slower when cooled

2) concentrations- how much material we have
Raise concentrations it fastens the reaction and drop concentrations reaction slows down

3) catalyst- chemicals that help reactions take place
Always speeds up reaction

34
Q

What are enzymes?

A

Biological catalyst

Catalyst used in living things make reactions act quickly with body temp (no heat needed)

35
Q

What are enzymes considered?

A

Proteins

36
Q

What are chemical pathways?

A

Endless chemical reactions

Without enzymes they would not happen fast enough to keep us alive

37
Q

What is a covalent bond?

A

Sharing electrons in the valence or outermost energy level

38
Q

What is a polar molecule?

A

Has 2 poles like a magnet

+ -

Anything polar acts like magnets and attaches to water

39
Q

What is a polar covalent bond?

A

Water bonds

40
Q

What is a hydrogen bond?

A

Very weak bonds when water molecules attach together and doesn’t last long

41
Q

What is electronegative?

A

When something attracts electrons

Ex: water

42
Q

What is surface tension?

A

The phenomenon caused by hydrogen bonding (they stick together causing tension)

43
Q

What is hydrophilic?

A

Anything what likes water, attaches to water, dissolves in water

44
Q

What is hydrophobic?

A

Non polar substances

Repelled to water

Oil

45
Q

What is a solvent?

A

The thing that does the dissolving

46
Q

What is solute?

A

The thing that dissolves

47
Q

What is ionization?

A

Process that breaks down water

48
Q

What is a mole?

A

A large number to say how much atoms you want

6.023 x 10(23)

Can convert daltons to grams

How they come up with pH

49
Q

What do acids do?

A

Release hydrogen which ends up with more hydrogen

50
Q

What do bases do?

A

Take away hydrogens which leaves less hydrogen

51
Q

What does dissociate mean?

A

Comes apart

52
Q

Which acids dissociate?

A

Strong acids

Weak acids dissociate a little

53
Q

What is salt?

A

Ionic compound consisting of any cation except hydrogen (H) and any anion except hydroxide (OH)

54
Q

What does an acid plus a base equal?

A

Salt in water

55
Q

What is an electrolyte?

A

Soluble (dissolvable) molecules and will break apart into ions and the ions will conduct an electric current

Ex: salt

56
Q

What molecules does electrolytes give?

A

Na+ (sodium)
K+ (potassium)
Cl- (chloride)
Ca+2 (calcium)

Magical ions of physiology
