Chemistry of Life Vocabulary:Chemistry of Life Vocabulary:Chemistry of Life Vocabulary:Chemistry of Life Vocabulary:

1) Element = A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances

2) Atom = Smallest particle of an element that has the characteristics of that element

3) Protons (P) = positively charged particles; found in nucleus

4) Neutrons (N) = no charge (neutral); found in nucleus

5) Electrons (e-) = (negative charge) move nearly the speed of light form a cloud around the nucleus

6) Nucleus = Center of atom; contains protons & neutrons

7) Electron cloud/energy levels – around the nucleus

8) Isotopes = Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons; Named by their atomic mass numbers

9) Atomic Number = number of protons and/or electrons of an atom

10) Mass Number = the sum of protons and neutrons of an atom

11) Energy levels = regions around the nucleus that electrons travel

12) Octet Rule = Each energy level AFTER the first can have up to 8 electrons

13) Compound = a substance made of chemically combined elements.

14) Covalent Bonding = atoms SHARE electrons

15) Molecule = a group of covalently bonded atoms with no charge

16) Ionic Bonding = Transfer of electrons creating ions that attract each other = Ionic Bond

17) Ions = charged atoms because they have gained or lost electron(s)

18) Polar = unequal distribution of charge; Each molecule has a positive end and a negative end

19) surface tension = The polarity of water cause the surface layer of water molecules to act like a

stretched film over the surface of the

20) Chemical Reactions:

CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O

21) Coefficients = # of molecules of a compound; Ex: 6O2 = 6 molecules of Oxygen (O)

22) Subscripts = # of atoms of an element; Ex: CH4 = 1 atom C, 4 atoms

23) Law of Conservation of Matter (atoms are never created or destroyed; they are simply rearranged!);

We balance equations so the Law of Conservation of Mater is NOT violated!

24) pH = how acidic or basic a substance is

25) Acid = substance that forms H+ (hydrogen ions) in water; (pH LESS than 7)

26) Base = substance that forms OH- (hydroxide ions) in water; (pH MORE than 7)

Reactants Products Yields

38

27) Organic compounds = compounds that contain carbon; Ex: Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins

28) Inorganic compounds = compounds that DO NOT contain carbon; Ex: Vitamins, minerals, water

29) Hydrocarbon = any molecule made ONLY of hydrogen and carbon atoms!

30) Isomers = compounds that have the same formula but different structures

31) Macromolecules = extremely large compounds made of smaller ones.

32) Polymer = large molecule formed when many smaller molecules bond together, usually in long chains

33) Dehydration Synthesis or Condensation = The removal of –H and –OH (water)from the individual molecules so that a bond may form between them and result in a more complex molecule

o This is represented by an equation: Monomer + Monomer ----> compound + water 34) Hydrolysis =(hydro = water, Lysis = to break) The breaking of a large compound (polymer) into

smaller compounds (monomers) through the addition of -H and –OH (water).

o This is represented by an equation: Compound + water ----> monomerss

35) Carbohydrates = Compounds used for storage and release of energy; Made of C, H, O atoms; Ratio is 2 Hydrogen atoms : 1 Oxygen atom

36) Monosaccharide = (C6H12O6); simple sugar; Ex: glucose, fructose, galactose; Only form our body can use for energy

37) Disaccharide = (C12H22O11); double sugar made of 2 simple sugars (monosac. + monosac.); Ex: lactose (milk sugar), maltose, sucrose (table sugar)

38) Polysaccharide = More than 2 monosaccharides joined by dehydration synthesis Ex: Starch- Plant’s energy storage; Glycogen- Animal’s energy storage; Cellulose- provides structure in plant cell walls (cannot be digested by human body)

39) Functional groups = give a molecule distinctive properties; Alcohol Group: (-OH); Carboxyl Group: (-COOH); Amino Group: (-NH2) allows molecule to accept ions from acids – therefore basic!

40) Lipids = Commonly called fats & oils; Contain more C-H bonds and less O atoms than carbohydrates; Basic building blocks: 3 fatty acids + 1 glycerol

o Functions of lipids in our body:

a) Long term energy storage (used when carbohydrates are NOT available)

b) Insulation

c) Protect body tissue (cushioning)

41) Saturated fats = fatty acid chains of carbon with only single bonds between the carbon atoms; Solid at room temperature

42) Unsaturated fats = fatty acid chains of carbon with ONE double bond between the carbon atoms; Liquid at room temperature

43) Polyunsaturated fats = more than one double bond between the carbon atoms in the chain

39

44) Triglycerides = Majority of fat in organism consist of this type of fat molecules; Derived from fats eaten in foods or made in the body from other energy sources like carbohydrates.

45) Proteins = Large complex polymer composed of C, H, O, N, & sometimes S; Basic building blocks: Amino acids

o Functions of proteins in our body:

5. Muscle contraction

6. Transport oxygen in the bloodstream

7. Provide immunity (antibodies)

8. Carry out chemical reactions

46) Peptide bond = a covalent bond that joins amino acids to each other

47) Essential Amino Acids = 10 of the 20 amino acids are “essential” because they are required by the body but are NOT created by it

48) Enzymes = A specialized type of protein; acts like a catalyst = substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but it is not used up in the reaction.

49) Coenzyme = an organic molecule associated with the enzyme to help in the reaction.

50) Active site = attracts and holds only specific molecules called substrates.

51) Competitive Inhibitors = a substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by entering the active site in place of the substrate whose structure it mimics.

52) Nucleic acids = Complex polymer that stores information in cells in the form of a code; Monomer: nucleotides, which consist of C, H, O, N, P

• 2 types of nucleic acids: 1. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains all the instructions for an organisms

development…..AKA genetic information 2. RNA (ribonucleic acid) forms a copy of DNA and is used for protein synthesis

(production)
