What are the 3 muscle types?

1. Skeletal


2. Cardiac


3. Smooth

What is the function of Skeletal muscle?

Skeletal muscle moves the bones under conscious nervous control.


Skeletal muscle is voluntary.

What is the function of Cardiac muscle?

Makes up the heart and requires no conscious nervous control.


Cardiac muscle is involuntary.

What is the function of Smooth muscle?

Moves along objects inside the body, such as food through the digestive tract or urine in the bladder. Smooth muscle is involuntary.

What is Homeostasis?

An equilibrium that must be kept to maintain life. Like air conditioning and heating keeping a room a certain temperature.

What are the 3 types of chemical bonds?

1. Covalent bonds


2. Ionic bonds


3. Hydrogen bonds

How is a Covalent bond formed?

A Covalent bonds is formed when atoms share electrons.

A Covalent bonds is formed when atoms share electrons.

How is a Ionic bond formed?

An Ionic bond is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another

An Ionic bond is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another

How is a Hydrogen bond formed?

A Hydrogen bond is formed between hydrogen atoms of already formed covalent bonds

A Hydrogen bond is formed between hydrogen atoms of already formed covalent bonds

Which of the 3 Chemical Bonds is the weakest?

The Hydrogen Bond

How is a Polar Molecule formed?

A polar molecule is formed when electrons spend more time at one end of the molecule than the other, resulting in the molecule end with more electrons having a slight positive charge and the end with fewer electrons a slight negative charge.

What is a Polar Molecule?

A molecule with slightly charged ends

What is a cation?

A positively charged ion

What is an anion?

A negatively charged ion

What are the 3 types of chemical reactions?

1. Synthesis


2. Decomposition


3. Exchange

How does a Synthesis Reaction work?

A new, complex chemical is created from multiple simple chemicals, ie A+B=AB

How does a Decomposition reaction work?

A single, complex chemical is broken down into multiple, simple chemicals; ie AB=(A) (B)

How does an Exchange reaction work?

Certain atoms are exchanged between molecules,


ie AC< >DB=AB><DC

Contrast Solutes, Solution, Solvent

Solutes: Chemicals added to water


Solution: Result of chemical plus water


Solvent: a substance into which other substances are dissolved

What are the 4 special properties of water?

1. Ideal transport medium


2. Has a high heat capacity


3. Has a high heat of vaporization


4. Good lubricator

What are salts in their ionic form called?

Electrolytes

What is the simplest form of a carbohydrate?

A simple sugar (monosaccharide)

What is another name for neutral fats?

Triglycerides

Define Fatty Acid

A chain of carbon atoms with 1 or hydrogen atoms attached by double or single bonds

Define Saturated Fatty Acid

A chain of carbon atoms where all bonds in the hydrocarbon chain are single and attached to the carbon

Define Unsaturated Fatty Acids

A chain of carbon atoms where some double bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms exist

What do Lipoproteins do?

Transport fats within the body

What do Phosolipids do?

Make up the lipid bilayer of cells

What do Steroids do?

Aid in the production of hormones

What do Eicosanoids do?

Mediate complex chemical processes
