Chemistry
Charge of electrons
What is negative?
In water, this element is more electronegative and thus gets the greater share of electrons
What is Oxygen?
Number of covalent bonds 1 Carbon can make
What is 4?
"kinky" fatty acid
What is unsaturated?
The reactant that the enzyme acts on
What is the substrate?
Number of protons an element has
What is atomic number?
Bond water forms between other water molecules, can have 4 of them, occurs due to the partial positive charge of hydrogen and partial negative charge of oxygen
What are Hydrogen bonds?
Molecule consisting of only hydrogen and carbon
What are hydrocarbons?
Forming a new bond by the removal of water, forms a covalent bond
What is a dehydration reaction?
Enzymes lower this necessary for a reaction to proceed
What is the activation energy?
Element with same number of protons but different number of neutrons
What is an isotope?
Bond Oxygen and Hydrogen have between each other
What is polar covalent bond?
Ketones and Aldehydes are this type of functional group
What are Carbonyl?
Comprised of glycerol, 2 fatty acids, and a phosphate group
What is a phospholipid?
Energy cannot be crated or destroyed
What is the first law of thermodynamics
Rule stating atoms are most stable when they have 8 electrons in their valence shell
What is the octet rule?
Amount of heat required to be absorbed/lost to change the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1 °C
What is specific heat?
Compounds that have the same number of atoms (same molecular formula), but are arranged differently
What is an isomer?
Glycogen's function in animals
What is storage?
∆G = G final state - G initial state
What is endergonic reaction?
Bond where atoms share electrons
What is a covalent bond?
Acids in water donate this
What are H+ ions?
Type of functional group found in alcohols
What is a hydroxyl?
Bond between a hydroxyl and carboxyl group to form a fat. The specific type
What is a ester linkage?
Complex molecules broken down into simpler molecules (releases energy). (Pathway type)
What is a catabolic pathway?
