16
Q

The octet rule states…

A

An atom is in its lowest energy state with a full valence shell.

17
Q

A measure of an atoms pull on electrons

A

Electronegativity

18
Q

Electronegativity rules (the differences between two atoms in Electronegativity)

A

Ionic>2

Polar

19
Q

Movement of an object or change in its physical structure

A

Work

20
Q

The capacity to perform work

A

Energy

21
Q

Energy in motion

A

Kinetic energy

22
Q

Stored energy resulting from position or structure

A

Potential energy

23
Q

Are conversions in energy 100% efficient?

A

No (energy is conservative)

24
Q

The sum of the atomic weights of the component atoms

A

Molecular weight

25
Q

Short hand that describes chemical compounds and reactions

A

Chemical notation

26
Q

The sum of all chemical reactions in your body

A

Metabolism

27
Q

What are the three types of metabolic reactions?

A

Decomposition, synthesis, and exchange

28
Q

Catabolism

A

Cells gain energy and break down complex molecules

29
Q

Anabolism

A

Uses energy and synthesizes new molecules

*(anabolism=catabolism)

30
Q

When the rates of two opposing reactions are in balance

A

Equilibrium

31
Q

How do enzymes increase the rate of a reaction

A
Activation energy(the amount of energy needed to start a reaction)
*Enzymes are catalysts and reduce the activation energy without being permanently changed
32
Q

Organic compounds

A

Carbon, hydrogen, and sometimes oxygen

33
Q

Is a carbon-hydrogen bond polar or non-polar

A

Non-polar

34
Q

What are the four major classes of organic compounds?

A
  • carbohydrates
  • lipids
  • proteins
  • Nucleic acids
35
Q

Carbohydrates

A
  • important energy source for metabolism
  • monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
  • di and polysaccharides formed from monosaccharides undergoing dehydration synthesis (removing of water)
36
Q

Lipids

A

Fatty acids, eicosanoids, glycerides, steroids, phospholipids, glycolipids
