Term
Proton +
Neutron (neutral)
electron -
Definition
charges of the 3 particles (atom)
Term
Proton
Neutron
Electron
Definition
3 principle particles that compose an atom
Term
P - inside
N - inside
E - outside
Definition
location of 3 particles
Term
p- 1amu
n- 1amu
e- negligible
Definition
masses of each particle
Term
# of protons
Definition
atomic # of an atom is based on
Term
# of P & N
Definition
atomic mass or weight
Term
Carbon
Hydrogen
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Phosphorus
Sulfur
Definition
98% of organisms
Term
same number of protons , diff #of neutrons
Definition
isotopes?
Term
1st K - 2e
2nd L - 8e
3rd M - 8e
Definition
how many electrons can each energy shell or orbit hold?
Term
inert - correct amt of N
reactive - w/ other to get more e
Definition
reactive or inert
Term
transfer of an electron or electrons from 1 atom to another

oppositely charged ions are formed

oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other and an ionic bond forms
Definition
formation of an ionic bond
Term
shared (carbon)
Definition
covalent bonds
Term
in a chemical react
Definition
reactants
Term
oxygen
Definition
atom of the water molecule is highly electronegative
Term
Universal Solvent
-most substances dissolve in water
-subs. r ions or polar covalent molec, attract polar water molec
-chemical reactions occur more effici when mmol. dissolved
Definition
unique property of water
Term
resists changes in temp.
-lrg amt of energy 2 change the temp. of water
-requires the breaking of hydrogen bonds and therefore requires extra energy
-pond..etc changes temp.thus making it easier 4 aquatic organisms to maintain homeostasis
Definition
unique property of water
Term
*Universal Solvent
*Cohesive & Adhesive
*Resists Changes in Temperature
*Resist Change of State to a Gas
*Becomes less Dense When it Freezes
Definition
unique properties
Term
is like water has more oxygen - oxygen forms a polar covalent bonds w/ carbon or hydrogen & so glucose has partial charges
Definition
hydrophilic
Term
afraid of water; no O (non polar)
Definition
hydrophobic
Term
hydrophobic : lrg % of C H w/ lil O
Definition
common physical property lipids have
Term
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids
(triglycerides)
Definition
building blocks of fats and oils
Term
polypeptides
Definition
proteins are composed of
Term
- polymers of Amino Acids

amino + carboxyl group
Definition
polypeptides
Term
2gether - dehydration
apart- hydrogenation
Definition
process by amino acids are joined 2gether and taken apart
Term
Peptide bond
Definition
covalent bond formed b/w 2 amino acids
Term
DNA molecule is the blueprint
Definition
what determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins
Term
primary - str8
secondary- coiling / pleated sheets
tertiary- (functional) complex 3d shape
quaternary-^same more
Definition
4 levels of protein organization
Term
when heat or extremes of ph break the bonds that are responsible for protein's 3D shape - the protein is said to be denatured
Definition
denature a protein
cause of denaturation
Term
enzymes
collagen
many hormones
hemoglobin
Definition
4 types of proteins
Term
see pkt....
Definition
major organs of digestive system + function
Term
close over the trachea to prevent bolus entering the trachea
Definition
role of epiglottis
Term
the fluid in the stomach in the duodenum
Definition
chyme
Term
pkt
Definition
chemical digestion
