(46 cards)
A solution with a pH of 1.1 would be a
a) strong acid
b) strong base
c) Weak acid
d) Weak base
e) Neutral
A
Isotopes- Feynman
same atom of elements with difference in neutrons
Electrolytes
ions in the body
Define Ionic Bonds and give an example
Ionic bonds form when electrons are gained or removed to form ions-
Sodium Atom (Na) loses electrolyte (Cation) and Chloride (CL) atom gains electrolyte (anion)- what bond is form to make Salt Na+Cl-
Ionic Bond
Give an example of a Polar covalent bond
H20, carbon dioxide,
covalent bond- feynman
sharing of electrons (polar/non polar)
Subatomic particles- feynman
protons, neutrons, electrons
Planes of the body-
Transversal, sagittal, frontal
What elements make up the human body majority with percentage?
CHON
List major elements in body using symbols?
O, C, H, N, Ca, P, K, S, NA, Cl, Mg
Nonpolar vs Polar bond
Nonpolar shares electrons equally with all regions of molecule being neutral while polar shares electrons unequally with some regions of molecules having opposite charges `
Metabolism, Catabolism, Anabolism- Feynman
Metabolism- all chemical reactions that take place in organism, Catabolism- breaking down of compounds- anabolism - building up of compounds
What do enzymes do in chemical reactions?
speed up process and lower energy of activation needed (starting point)
Covalent Bond- Feynman
covalent bond is the sharing of electrons (single or double, polar/nonpolar)
Radioisotope- Feynman
when too many neutrons in nucleus cause atom to become unstable and radioactive
Describe 3 uses of radioisotopes
PET scans- medical imaging machine that allows to see the body internally. pet scans use radioisotopes as tracers inserted in the body, because isotopes and radioisotopes will have the similar reaction chemically because of the same amount of electrons and protons, because of the more physiological effects of organs targeted can be seen. Radioisotopes are also an effective in the use of pet scans because of the short half lives.
Radio Therapy
xray
How do radioisotopes variation in the types of energy they release and their half life.
Radioisotopes are varied based on the energy levels emitted, Alpha, Beta, Gamma. Also because of the particles of each, half life and decay time may vary. For example alpha rays are heavy and large, making them easily stopped leading to longer decay times.
Describe how temp alter a chemical reaction
increase of temp causing increase of movement of particles which increases chance of contact and reaction
Example of Anabolism and Catabolism
Glucose to Glycogen (Anabolic), ATP to Energy (catabolic) or (Hydrolosis)
Describe how concentration or pressure alter reactions
increases rate of reaction
how does concentration of substrate alter reactions
when substrate is high enzymes are high at work and chemical reactions speed up when substrate is low enzymes are just waiting
Organic Compounds
Atoms of carbon covalently linked to usually` hydrogen nitrogen
What are organic compounds found in living things?
Carbohydrates, Proteins, Nucleic Acids, Lipids
