Q

What are cells made of?

17
Q

What are elements made of?

18
Q

What are the three parts of an Atom?

A

Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons

19
Q

When are Atoms most stable?

A

When their valence shell is filled (usually 8 electrons)

20
Q

Ionic bond

A

The force connecting a positive atom with a negative atom

21
Q

Covalent bond

A

The force between two or more atoms sharing electrons in their valence shells

22
Q

Polar or non-polar bonding

A

The overall charge sometimes created by the pull on electrons by atoms

23
Q

Chemical reaction

A

Atoms coming together or breaking apart

24
Q

What is a theory?

A

After a lot of information has been gathered that supports a hypothesis it becomes a theory.

25
What are the three states water exists in?
Solid, Liquid and Gas
26
When water freezes it does what?
Becomes less dense and floats
27
What is organic chemistry?
The study of carbon-containing compounds
28
What are the four most important molecules related to cells? And what do they all contain?
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acid. They all contain Carbon
29
Carbohydrates are mainly found where?
Fruits, vegetables, and grains
30
Lipids are used in cells for
Energy, storage, and insulation
31
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed, but can be converted from one form to another.
32
What is the second law of thermodynamics?
Entropy (disorder): given enough time all things wear out and fall apart.
33
An Enzyme...
A type of protein that speeds up or slows down a chemical reaction
34
Lipids
Fats, waxes and steroids
35
Carbohydrates
Give energy to living cells, provide structure to plants, fungi, and insects
36
Proteins are formed by
Amino Acids
37
Proteins
Form the structure of tissues and organs. Each protein folds into a unique shape.
38
Nucleic Acids
Form DNA or RNA
