Atomic Structure
What is an atom?
This particle is responsible for bonds between atoms
What is an electron?
What is an exergonic reaction?
What are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids?
A singular molecule that can react together with other identical molecules to form a larger polymer chain
What is a monomer?
Determined by the number of protons in an atom's nucleus and defines its position on the periodic table
What is an Atomic number?
An electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen atom in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other. Prevalent between water molecules
What is a hydrogen bond?
A reaction where there is a formation of bonds between two molecules due to the removal of water
What is a dehydration synthesis reaction?
Macromolecule that is responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information. Its monomers are nucleotides.
What are nucleic acids?
Macromolecule that stores and provides short-term energy and provides structural components in cells. Its monomers are monosaccharides.
What is a carbohydrate?
Particles that are added together to determine an atom's atomic mass
What are protons and neutrons
A bond between 2 or more atoms by the sharing of electron(s) between atoms
What is a covalent bond?
A chemical reaction that absorbs energy
What is an endergonic reaction?
The elements that make up nucleic acids.
CHONP
Which macromolecule is responsible for long-term energy storage, insulation, hormones, and making up cell membranes
What is a lipid?
The tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself
What is electronegativity?
A bond between 2 or more atoms by the transfer of electron(s) between atoms
What is an ionic bond?
A reaction where there is a breaking of bonds between molecules due to the introduction of water
What is a hydrolysis reaction?
The monomers for proteins
What are amino acids?
The way elements in a carbohydrate are arranged
What is a hexagonal ring structure?
The number of electrons needed to fill the second valence shell of an atom
What is 8?
Atoms with different electronegativities share electrons in a covalent bond
What is a polar bond?
A reaction in which cations and anions that were partners in the reactants are interchanged in the products
The functional group responsible for linking molecules together
What is alcohol?
The presence of these two molecules determines if a substance is acidic or basic.
What is H and OH?
