Organic Chemistry
100
The positive particle in an atom
What is a proton
100
The substances you start with during a chemical reaction
What are Reactants
100
These are also called the reactants
What are the substrates
100
Water is called this type of molecule because of an unequal sharing of electrons between it's oxygen and hydrogen atoms
What is a polar molecule
100
This is a component of almost all biological molecules.
What is Carbon
200
The two particles that are located inside the nucleus
What is the neutrons and protons
200
The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction
What is the Activation Energy
200
This is the specific location where a substrate binds on an enzyme
What is the active site
200
This is a mixture that has a uniform composition throughout Examples: Ocean water, vinegar, coffee
What is a homogenous mixture
200
These macromolecules can also be called sugars, starches, fiber and/or monosaccharides
What are carbohydrates
300
Type of bond formed when two atoms share electrons
What is covalent
300
A type of reaction where heat energy is released. Example: burning a candle
What is an exothermic reaction
300
This is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction by reducing the activation energy.
What is enzyme/protein/catalyst
300
In a solution this is the substance present in greatest amount
What is the solvent
300
This group of macromolecules includes fats, oils, and steroids
What are lipids
400
These are atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons
What is an isotope
400
The process by which substances are reorganized into different substances
What is a chemical reaction
400
During the enzyme lab this was the Reactant
What is H2O2 (Peroxide)
400
Water is called this because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid
What is the Universal solvent
400
These macromolecules are made of small carbon compounds called amino acids
What are proteins
500
A pure substance that is formed when two or more elements combine Ex: H20 (water), NaCl (Salt)
What is a compound
500
According to this "law", during a chemical reaction matter is not created or destroyed.
What is the law of Conservation of mass?
500
During the enzyme lab this was the enzyme/catalyst
What is Catalase (Liver)
500
These are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH–) when dissolved in water
What is a base
500
These are Lipids that have at least one double bond in the tail chain Ex: “good fats” in avocados & Nuts
What are unsaturated fats
