Matter (define)

Has mass and occupies space

3 states of matter

Solid, liquid, and gas

Nucleus (Atomic structure)

-protons (p+), positively charged


-neutrons (n0), neutral no charge

Identify the main chemical elements of the body & know their symbols.

Oxygen- O


Carbon- C


Hydrogen- H


Nitrogen- N

Describe trace elements

Vital for maintaining health. Insufficient intake can cause nutritional deficiency.


Ex) iron, iodine, fluoride

Describe the charge, mass and relative locations of protons, neutrons, and electrons

D

Interpret diagrams of atoms depicting electron shells.

D

Explain how isotopes of an element are formed.

F

Describe how a radioactive isotope is different from a nonradioactive isotope.

Radioactive- unstable and emit radiation at a constant rate. (Half live and lose energy overtime.)


Nonradioactive- stable and by there own incapable of emitting energy.

Distinguish among the terms: atomic number, mass number, and atomic weight.

Atomic number- number if protons in the nucleus of an atom.


Mass number- number of protons and number of neutrons


Atomic weight- average weight of an atom of an element

Use the periodic table to determine an elements atomic number and atomic weight.

D

Compare and contrast the terms: molecule and compound, and provide examples.

Molecule- when 2 or more atoms share electrons.


Compound- contains atoms of 2 or Moore different elements.

Relate the number of electrons in the valence shell to an atom's chemical stability and its ability to form chemical bonds(ionic and covalent)

D

Describe the formation of cations and anions.

Cations- positively charged ions


Anion- negatively charged ions

Describe the formation of an ionic bond

R

Provide the locations of most ionic bonds in the body

D

Describe electrolytes and provide common examples in body fluids

Ions dissolved in the body's fluids.


Sodium ion- Na+


Hydrogen ion- H+


Hydroxide ion- OH-


Cloride ions- Cl-

State the distribution of covalent bonds in the body compared to ionic bonds

K

Describe the formation of single covalent, double covalent , and triple covalent bond

Single covalent= 1 pair


Double covalent= 2 pairs


Triple covalent= 3 pairs

Interpret structural formulas and molecular formulas of molecules

J

Compare and contrast nonpolar covalent and polar covalent bonds

-polar (water, sugar, etc) unequal sharing-- Hydrophilic


-non polar (oil,fats) equal sharing--- hydrophobic


Ions are attracted to polar but not nonpolar compounds


Describe the formation of hydrogen bond

Forms when a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge attracts the partial negative charge of electronegative atoms.

Compare the strength of hydrogen bonds to covalent bonds

M

Specifically describe hydrogen bonding between water molecules

Hydrogen bonds occur because hydrogen atoms in one water molecule are attracted to the partial negative charge of the oxygen atom in another water molecule.

Define metabolism

K

Define chemical reaction

K

Define reactants

K

Define products

J

Define work and energy and relate these terms to cell metabolism

K

Describe the various forms of energy and state the law of conservation of energy

K

Compare and contrast endergonic and exergonic reaction

I

Explain the role of activation energy and catalyst (enzymes) in chemical reaction

S

Define synthesis

K

Define decomposition

K

Define exchange

J

Define reversible

M

Define oxidation- reduction (redox)

D

Distinguish between the terms solution, solvent, and solute

X

Discuss the physiologically important properties of water

J

Define the term pH

Measures amount of H+ in solution

Define the term acid base

K

Define the term salt

M

Compare and acidic solution to an alkaline solution

K

Define the term buffer and describe the importance of buffers in body fluids.

Resist drastic changes in pH of a solution.


Weak acids / weak bases do not fully ionized so they can react to changing conditions

Define the term organic compound

M

Compare and contrast dehydration synthesis reactions and hydrolysis reaction

M

Identify the monomers and polymers of (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids)

K

Describe general molecule structure of (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acid)

D

Provide specific examples of (carbohydrates ,proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids)

S

Discuss physiologicalogical and structural roles in the human body of (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids

C

Describe the four levels of protein structure and discuss the importance of protein shape for protein function

D

Discuss the structure and function of enzymes in catalyzing biological reactions

X

Describe the structure of ATP

J

Explain the role of ATP hydrolysis and releasing energy for the cell.

D
