Atoms
This is the negatively charged particle that "orbits" the nucleus of an atom
What is an electron?
The minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to begin
What is activation energy?
This is a postively charged ion
What is a cation? (Remember: PAWSitive🐱)
This is the universal solvent
What is water?
These are the number of tiers for protein folding
What is four tiers? Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary
The number of protons in an atom
What is the atomic number?
A reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs is called this
What is an exergonic reaction?
These 4 elements make up 96% of all living matter
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
C H O N
This is the pH difference between a pH of 14 and a pH of 12 (Hint: ___x more acidic/basic)
What is 100x more acidic?
In DNA, what pairs with adenine?
Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of these subatomic particles are called isotopes.
What is neutrons
This is a type of reaction where water is added to break chemical bonds
What is a hydrolysis reaction?
In this type of covalent bond, electrons are shared unequally
POLAR covalent bond
What is hydrophobic?
The primary function of this solution is to minimize pH changes
What is a buffer?
An atom has an atomic number of 17 and a mass number of 37. How many neutrons does it have?
20 neutrons
These are factors that can affect the rate of reactions or the acctviation energy needed. (Hint: Name at least 2)
What is temperature, pressure, concentration, enzymes/catalysts, reactant properties?
All organic compounds contain this element
What is Hydrogen?
This is a mixture of water which the particles are medium size, but you still cannot see a visual separation of the molecules.
What is a colloid?
This bond joins amino acids together
An atom has 12 protons and 10 electrons. This is the overall charge of the atom
What is +2?
What kind of reaction is this?
AB = A + B
What is a decomposition reaction?
This weak attraction occurs between a partially positive hydrogen and a partially negative atom.
What is hydrogen bonding?
A solution with a pH of 7
A molecule contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and is made from chains of amino acids. Its three-dimensional shape is essential to its function, and changes in temperature or pH can cause it to lose that shape.
What is a Protein?
