What I do not know for my Unit 1 Exam Flashcards
different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
isotopes
carbon 14 and 12 are examples of alternate forms of carbon are
isotopes
any substance that occupies space and has mass
matter
are unique forms of matter with specific chemical and physical properties that cannot be broken down into smaller substances by ordinary chemical reactions. there are 118 but only 92 occur naturally
elements
name the four elements common to all living organisms
oxygen, carbon. hydrogen, and nitrogen
name the two regions and atom is composed of
the nucleus and the outer most region of the atom which holds its electrons in orbit around the nucleus
mostly empty space
atoms
monomer: nucleotide
nucleic acid
polymer: DNA and RNA
nucleic acid
linkage :phosphodiester bond
nucleic acid
function in cell: DNA stores genetic information and RNA is used to make protein
nucleic acid
monomer: amino acid
proteins
polymer: polypeptide/protein
proteins
linkage: peptide `
proteins
consists of one oxygen connected to two hydrogens by polar covalent bonds
describing the structure water step 1
water consists of the one oxygen connected to two hydrogens by polar covalent bonds. These polar covalent lead to the hydrogens of the water molecule being partially positively charged and the oxygen having two regions of partial negative charge.
describing the structure of water step 2
these polar covalent lead to the hydrogens of the water molecule being partially positively charged and the oxygen having two regions of partial negative charge. The partial positive charge of one water molecule can interact with partial negative charge of another water molecule (via hydrogen bonding) and vice versa.
describing the structure of water and how the structure leads to other molecules being classified as hydrophilic and hydrophobic part 3
