-
adhesive
attracted to something other than itself
-
cohesive
attracted to itself. causes surface tenstion in water
-
solvent
liquid that does the dissolving
-
solute
the stuff that gets dissolved
-
Acids
- pH less than 7
- release H+ in solutions
-
Bases
- pH greater than 7
- releases OH in solutions
-
Enzymes are:
- resuable
- organic catalyists
- proteins
- end in "ase"
- task specific
-
substrate
items that the enzyme needs to do its job. enzymes put them together or split them apart
-
substrates bond to:
the active site of an enzyme
-
anabolistic enzyme
puts together substrates
-
catabolistic enzyme
breaks down enzymes
-
covalent bonds
- stronger than ionic bonds
- 2 non-metals bonding
-
ionic bonds
- weaker than covalent bonds
- 1 non-metal and 1 metal bonding
-
Lewis structure
symbol with valence electrons
-
synthesis reaction (anabolic reaction)
putting 2 or more molecules together to make something bigger like in the process of storing energy
-
Decomposition reaction (catabolic reaction)
big molecule is broken down into smaller parts like when the body uses energy to get materials
-
exchange reactions
combine two molecules and some of their parts are substituted/rearranged
-
Valence electrims determine:
bondibility
-
columns aka families
tell valence electron number
-
rows aka groups
tell energy levels
-
rule of octet
outer (valence) number of electrons never more than 8
-
carbohydrates' function
- primary source of energy
- id marker on cells
-
types of carbs
- simple carbs : glucose, fructose, galactose
- complex carbs: starches
-
elements in carbs
C, H, O
-
elements in lipids
little O, C, H
-
lipid function
- secondary source of energy
- cell membrane--phospholipid
- help to dissolve fat soluable vitamins
-
elements in proteins
CHONS
-
types of proteins
- fiberous--structural proteins (ex. keratin, elastin, callogen)
- globular--functional proteins (ex. enzymes, hormones)
-
elements in nucleic acids
CHONP
-
nucleic acids
- made of nucleotides
- store and use genetic info ot make proteins
- DNA, RNA
