E N D
Chlorophyll • the green pigment in plants that captures light in photosynthesis
DNA • has deoxyribosesugar • has nucleotides A, T, C, G • inherited genetic material that contains instructions for life • double-stranded
Protein • macromolecule made of amino acids • contains C, O, H and N • found in muscles • used for growth and repair
Ion • examples: H+, OH- • an atom with a positive or negative charge • # of e- does not equal # of protons • lost or gained e-
Inorganic Compound • compounds that do not contain C and H • don’t come from living things • examples: NaOH, FeO
Enzyme-Substrate Complex • when an enzyme is bound to an appropriate substrate and bonds are being broken and reformed • combination of enzyme and substrate
Carbohydrate • a macromolecule that has H and O in the same ratio as water, as well as carbon • ‘hydrated carbons’ • examples: sugar, starch, cellulose, chitin
Organic Compound • compounds containing C and H • come from living things • examples: sugar, nucleic acids
Disaccharide • Example: lactose • two linked sugars • formed through a dehydration synthesis reaction
Substrate • example: H2O2 in our liver lab • molecule(s) that is changed by an enzyme
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) • found in all organisms • stores energy released from cellular respiration • important energy transfer compound in organisms
Chemical Bond • represented by lines in models • the forces that hold atoms to one another in molecules
Chemical Reaction • example: photosynthesis changes CO2 and H2O into C6H12O6 and O2 • a process that changes one set of chemicals into another
pH Scale • ‘power of hydrogen’ • measure of H+ ions, acidity • ranges from 0 - 14
Polysaccharide • formed through many dehydration synthesis reactions • many linked sugars • complex carbohydrates • examples: starch, chitin, cellulose
Polypeptide • will be folded into a protein • long chain of many linked amino acids
Starch • used in Inv. 4.4 & 4.5 • complex carbohydrate used for energy storage in plants • type of polysaccharide
Fat • type of lipid made up of fatty acids and glycerol • used for energy storage, cushioning, insulation
Compound • examples: H2O, CO2, H2O2 • two or more elements bonded together
Cholesterol • a type of lipid made by animals • found in cell membranes
Nucleic Acid • macromolecule that carries genetic material • basic unit is nucleotide • examples: DNA, RNA
Atom • the basic unit of matter • composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons
Monosaccharide • example: glucose • simple carbohydrates • a single molecule of sugar • can be linked together to form disaccharides
Decomposition • breaking down or taking apart • example: when H2O2 was broken down in our liver lab
Hydrolysis • example: decomposing starch into glucose) • the breaking of bonds by adding water
Carbon Cycle • how carbon is exchanged through the environment • includes photosynthesis & cellular respiration
Electrons • have very little mass • negatively charged particles around the nucleus of an atom
Matter • a physical substance that has mass and takes up space • can be classified as solids, liquids, or gases
Acid • example: HCl • solution with lots of H+ ions • pH from 0 - 7
ADP • ATP that has had a phosphate removed to release energy Released Energy
Synthesis • to combine or put together
Neutrons • neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom
Element • more than 100 types • pure substance made of one type of atom • arranged according to properties in the periodic table
Randomness/Disorder • the idea that non-livings are always moving to a state of _____________ while living things, on the other hand, invest energy to create organization
Photosynthesis • requires chlorophyll to capture light • process used by plants to create sugar using light energy
Fatty Acids • chain of linked carbons with many H bonds • component of lipids, in addition to glycerol
Buffering Capacity • the ability to resist a change in pH
Base • Example: NaOH • solution with los of OH- ions • pH 7 - 14
Neutralize/Neutralization • combining an acid and a base to form water
Amino Acids • basic unit of proteins • 20 types that are essential • linked together to form polypeptide chain
Cellulose • type of polysaccharide • complex carbohydrate used as building material in plants • found in the cell walls of plants
Poly- • prefix meaning many
Buffer • any substance that resists a change in pH
Molecule • smallest unit of a compound • multiple atoms bonded together • Examples: O2, H2O
Mono- • prefix meaning one
