New cards
10

atomic number

the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

New cards
11

atomic mass

the mass in an atom of an element

New cards
12

isotopes

New cards
13

electron shell

the outside part of an atom around the atomic nucleus

New cards
14

chemical equilibrium

a state where the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction

New cards
15

covalent bond

the mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms

New cards
16

ionic bond

type of linkage formed between oppositely charged ions,

one atom loses valence electrons and gains them from another, The atom that loses the electrons becomes positively charged; the atom that gains the electrons becomes negatively charged

New cards
17

polar covalent bond

occurs when atoms are shared unequally in a covalent bond.

New cards
18

nonpolar covalent bond

occurs when atoms are shared equally in a covalent bond.

New cards
19

hydrogen bond

a low kind type of dipole-dipole bond that exists between an electronegative molecule and a hydrogen molecule bonded to another electronegative molecule

New cards

it can dissolve different kinds of solutes than any other liquid

New cards
21

high specific heat

he amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 g of any substance by 1°C

New cards
22

pH less than 7

acidic

New cards
23

pH more than 7

24

pH of 7

neutral

New cards
25

what determines what determines pH of a solution of a solution

the presence of hydroponic ion relative to hydroxide

New cards
26

whats a buffer?

things that donate or accept hydrogen ions from solutions so they can help balance pH.

New cards
27

Describe carbon, the bonds it can form, the number of electrons in its valence shell

It can form four covalent bonds and has four electrons in the valance shell.

New cards
28

polymer examples

nylon, polyester, teflon, epoxy, silk, wool, DNA, cellulose, silicone, bakelite

liquid at room temp, from plant sources

New cards
34

What aids in the folding of proteins

Chaperonins

New cards
35

structure of amino acids

a basic amino group (−NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid.

New cards
36

scanning microscope

projects and scans a focused stream of electrons over a surface to create an image.

New cards
37

transmission electron microscope

focus beam of electron through surface to focus on inside (non-living)

New cards
38

light microscopes

can veiw living or dead specimens, light limits detail of images, 400

New cards
39

What domains include prokaryotes

Bacteria and Archaea

New cards
40

Endosymbiosis is

two organisms living together with one inside the other

New cards
41

What do all cells have in common?

plasma membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, and ribosomes

New cards
42

Why are cholesterol and unsaturated fatty acids important in low temperatures?

The ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids determines the fluidity in the membrane at cold temperatures. Cholesterol functions as a buffer, preventing lower temperatures from inhibiting fluidity and preventing higher temperatures from increasing fluidity.

New cards
