    A&B
  12. What is the definition of a chemical reaction?
    The process that changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals.
  13. For the reaction profile graphs, how can you identify a reaction that absorbs energy?
    THE CURVE RAMPS UPWARDS/THE PRODUCTS HAVE A HIGHER ENERGY THAN REACTANTS (see p. 51)
  14. What is the atomic composition of water?
    2 HYDROGEN ATOMS linked to 1 OXYGEN ATOM
  15. In the reaction below (the synthesis of water), what is water?

    Have more OH- than H+
  25. How are neutral solutions described?
    Have equal concentrations of H+ and OH-
  26. What makes Carbon Special?
    Carbon has a valence of 4 and can bond to one another and form a lot of different structures
  27. How many bonds can Carbon Form?
    Four
  28. Which are the predominant atoms in biomolecules?
    C = carbon/H = hydrogen/O = oxygen/P = phosphorus/N = nitrogen

    Starch
  30. What are 3 key functions of proteins?
    • -They help fight disease (ex. Anitbodies are proteins.)
    • -They control the rate of reactions (ex. Enzymes are proteins.)
    • -They move substances into or out of cells. (ex. Membrane proteins can act as pumps.)
  31. What are 3 falsehoods/un-truths about catalysts?
    • -Catalysts slow down the rate of reaction.
    • -All catalysts are enzymes
    • -Catalysts are consumed or used up during a chemical reaction.
  32. What are basic accurate facts about enzymes?
    • -Enzymes work best at a specified pH.
    • -Enzymes are proteins.
    • -The shape of the enzyme allows it to do its job.
