Levels of Life
This is the element that makes up most of our body at 65%
What is oxygen?
There is only one type of atom in this.
What is an element?
A positively charged ion.
What is a cation?
When reactants combine to create a more complex product.
What is synthesis?
The backbone of lipids and proteins.
What is carbon?
These are the three subatomic parts of every atom
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
A negatively charged ion.
What is an anion?
When reactants break down into smaller less complex products.
What is decomposition?
This makes body fluids more acidic.
What is hydrogen?
In an atom's outermost shell, this number of electrons is considered a full valence shell.
What is the 8?
The weakest type of bonding.
What is an ionic bond?
The combination of all anabolic and catabolic reactions in the body.
What is metabolism?
A substance that may contain carbon or hydrogen, but never both.
What is an inorganic compound?
When an atom gains or loses and electron, it becomes one of these.
What are ions?
This is unequal electron sharing between bonded atoms.
What are polar covalent bonds?
These are the four types of energy.
What are potential, kinetic, mechanical, and chemical?
At the chemical level, these make up everything starting with our DNA.
What is an atom?
Glucose is an example of this type of compound.
What is an organic compound?
Electronegativity will be this if there are 6-7 electrons in the atom's valence shell.
What is stronger electronegativity?
When a neutral atom becomes positively charged, it did this.
What is give up an electron?
This is a catalyst that increases a chemical reaction.
What is an enzyme?
