MY CHEMISTRY ROMANCE
This type of bond is formed when atoms share electrons equally.
What is a covalent bond?
Friction when a force is applied to an object but the object does not move. Always greater than kinetic friction for a given object.
What is static friction?
This organelle is responsible for synthesizing proteins within the cell.
What is the ribosome?
This amino acid has a unique sulfur-containing side chain and is often involved in disulfide bond formation.
What is cysteine?
If two variables are both in an equation, and one of them contains an exponent, log, ln, or root, the graph of either variables vs. the other will yield a ____-_______ graph.
What is a non-linear graph?
The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature.
What is solubility?
F = ma = 0. Also known as the law of inertiaa. A body at rest or in motion will stay that way unless i is acted on by a net force.
What is Newton's First Law?
This hormone is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by stimulating cells to take up glucose from the blood.
What is insulin?
This term refers to the specific location on an enzyme where substrates bind and the catalytic reaction takes place.
What is the active site?
SI Unites & Prefixes
pico-
What is 10^-12?
A substance that can accept a proton.
What is a base?
This law states that the current flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
What is Ohm's Law?
This scientist is credited with proposing the theory of natural selection as a mechanism for evolution.
Who is Charles Darwin?
This type of lipid consists of a glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acid chains and is a major component of cell membranes.
What is a triglyceride?
Practice:
What is the cube root of 25? (2.Sig.Figs)
what is ~2.9?
This functional group consists of a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group.
What is a carboxylic acid?
The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another at an angle.
What is refraction?
These cells are responsible for presenting antigens to T cells and initiating the adaptive immune response.
What are antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells?
This metabolic pathway occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and is responsible for the oxidation of acetyl-CoA to produce NADH, FADH₂, and ATP.
What is the citric acid cycle (or Krebs cycle)?
Important Trigonometric Equation
Surface Area of a Sphere-
What is 4.π.r^2 ?
This principle states that if a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will adjust to relieve that stress and establish a new equilibrium.
What is Le Chatelier's Principle?
This theory describes the behavior of matter and energy at very small scales, incorporating principles of both quantum mechanics and special relativity.
Hint: Modern Physics -QFT
What is quantum field theory?
These small proteins, produced and secreted by various immune cells, play a crucial role in signaling between cells of the immune system and coordinating the immune response.
What are cytokines?
This metabolic pathway involves the breakdown of glucose to pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.
What is glycolysis?
Cos 45°
What is √2/2?
