Neutral partical
Anion
Negative partical
Cation
Positive Partical
isotope
are different types of atoms (nuclides) of the same chemical element, each having a different number of neutrons.
Solvent
The substance present in the greatest amount
Solute
Substance in the smaller amounts
Solution
Homogeneous mixture of components that may be gases, liquids, or solids
Metabolism
the set of chemical reactions that happen in living organisms to maintain life
Anabolism
synthesizing more complex cellular structures from simpler substance
Catabolism
Breaking down more substances into their simpler building blocks
Ionic bond
Present in sodium Chloride, Electrons transfer between atoms
Covalent bond
Forms within a water molecule, atoms share electrons
Hydrogen bond
Hydrogen atom in one molecule is attached to the oxygen atom of another molecule
Polar Bond
Unequal electron pair sharing
Nonpolar Bond
Electrically balanced
Ph Scale
pH of Urine and Blood
Based on the number of hydrogen ions in solution

Lipid soluble
The maximum concentration of a chemical that will dissolve in fatty substances. Lipid soluble substances are insoluble in water.
Hydophobic
Fear of water
Water soluble
capable of being dissolved in some solvent (usually water)
Hydrophilic
Water loving
Macromolecules
Biological polymers. Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and nucleic acids
Carbohydrates
CnH2nOn, sugars or saccharides
Monosaccharides
single sugar: glucose, galactose, fructose, deoxyribose, ribose
Disaccharides
double sugars: maltose, lactose, sucrose
Polysaccharides
many sugars: glycogen, starch and cellulose
Lipids
C, H, and O, but not in a specific ratio. Triglycerides, Phospholipids and Sterols
triglycerides
glycerol and three fatty acids. Fats and oils
Phospholipids
make up our cell membranes: note the ends (polar head and nonpolar tail)
Cholesterol
is the Sterol backbone for many important products such as Bile, Vitamin D and the “steroid hormones” testosterone and estrogen
Proteins
C, H, O and N. Building blocks of proteins are called amino acids
Structural Proteins
give shape, support EX: collagen in skin and connective tissue
Transport Proteins
shuttle molecules EX: hemoglobin in RBCs; myoglobin in muscle cells shuttle oxygen
Regulatory Proteins
control what other cells do EX1: hormones such as insulin or thyroid hormone; EX2: neurotransmitters such as dopamine or catecholamines
Primary
the sequence of amino acids
Secondary
the chain of amino acids is pleated (accordian fold) or spiraled (helix)
Tertiary
