IONS
An atom has 11 protons. Regardless of how many electrons it has, this number identifies which element it is.
Atomic Number (Amount of Protons)
A solution with a pH of 11 is classified as this.
Basic
This type of bond forms when atoms share electrons.
Covalent Bond
This type of molecule is described in the slides as having the most diverse range of functions in the human body.
Proteins
Water is classified as this type of molecule because its atoms share electrons unequally.
Polar
An atom gains 3 electrons. Did it become a cation or anion?
Anion
A solution with a pH of 7 is classified as this.
Neutral
What bond occurs when one atom gives away an electron to another atom?
Ionic Bond
(NaCl)
These are the monomers that make up proteins.
Amino Acids
A substance that interacts well with water because it is polar is described using this term.
Hydrophilic
What is an isotope and what's the difference between different isotopes?
Amount of Neutrons
According to the slides, pH measures the relative amount of this substance in a solution.
H+ (Protons)
What type of bond would most likely form between an element with 1 valence electron and an element with 7 valence electrons, and why?
An ionic bond; one atom tends to lose an electron while the other gains one.
What do enzymes do to chemical reactions?
Catalyze them / Speed them up
Fats and oils generally don't dissolve in water because they are this.
Hydrophobic
If an atom has 12 protons and 10 electrons, it is no longer neutral. It has this type of ion and this charge.
Answer: What is a cation with a +2 charge?
The primary purpose of a buffer is to help prevent this from happening when acid or base is added.
Prevent changes in PH
Two atoms share electrons equally. What specific type of covalent bond is formed?
Nonpolar Covalent bond
Actin and myosin are proteins involved in this function.
Body Movement
A molecule containing both a hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region is described by this term.
Amphipathic
An atom has an atomic number of 10 and forms an ion with a 2+ charge. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons would it have if its mass number is 20?
10 protons, 10 neutrons, 8 electrons.
A solution changes from pH 3 to pH 7. The slides would describe this process as this.
Neutralization
The slides connect hydrogen bonding to the structure of this molecule that stores genetic information.
DNA
A chain containing many amino acids is called this.
Polypeptide
Water-based fluids such as CSF help protect the body by providing what function?
Cushioning
