Prokaryotes
Bacteria and Archae
Unicelular
Contain no nucleus
DNA is suspended in cell interior without separation
Both Bacteria and Archae live as producers and decomposers
Population
a group of individuals of the same species living in a particular area
Community
different populations living in an area
includes different species
Nuetron
has no charge (nuetral)
the number of neutrons can vary but are often the same as protons
variations of an element based on the number of neutrons are isotopes
has a mass unit of one(same as protons)
# of neutrons=atomic mass-protons
Emerging property of life
happens at the cell level of organization
Kingdoms
Protists
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
3 domains
Bacteria (prokaryotes)
Archea (prokaryotes)
Eukarya
Table of Elements
Listed in order of atomic number
Rows indicate # of energy shells
columns indicate # of electrons
Electrons
negative charge
paired in shells - 2 in first, 8 max in the rest
the electrons furthest from the nucleus have the most energy
Valance
The outer shell of an element
Metabolism
The sum of all chemical reactions that occur in the body
The activity of obtaining and using energy to grow and reproduce
2 primary metabolic processes are photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Characteristics of Living Systems
Organization
DNA
Metabolism
Energy flow(released as heat(lost)/recycled matter within biosphere
Receptors / reactions for survival
Reproduction
Evolution
Atom
The smallest unit of an element
Can't be broken down into any other substance
Atoms are electronically neutral
Proton
Positive charge
Number of protons identify the element
Equal to the number of electrons
Has a mass unit of one (as does neutron)
Element
All living and non living things are made up of elements
There are 92 natural elements
A pure substance that can not be broken down into simpler substances by chemical or physical techniques

Hydrogen
Catabolic Reaction
Breakdown-Starts out with large molecules and breaks down into smaller
Releases Energy
Organelles
made up of macromolecules
Anabolic Reaction
Build up.
Start off small and makes lager
Requires energy
Macromolecule
lipids
Proteins
Carbs
Made up of molecules which are made up of atoms

Organism
Populations
Community
Eco System
Biosphere
Isotope
Different variations of an element
They differ in the amount of neutrons
Most isotopes are unstable and do not exist for very long
Radioactive
Used as a tracer
Used in radiometric dating (half life)
Molecule
2 or more elements bonded together
An arrangement of atoms
ie:H2O
Compound
Molecule composed of 2 or more different elements
The molecule differs GREATLY than the actual individual elements
2 Branches of Metabolism
Catabolic
Anabolic
Covalent Bond
Shares one or more electron
Polarity
A difference in electrical charge across a molecule
(Positive at one end and negative on the other)
Cation
Positively charged ion
Anion
Negatively charged ion
Dalton
Mass unit of one
Atomic Weight
The sum of Protons + Neutrons
Ionic Bond
Form between atoms that gain or lose and electron completely.
The difference in charges (Cation and anion) create an attraction.
Non polar covalent bond
A bond with equal sharing of electrons
Polar covalent bond
When one atom is greedy and spends more time with a shared electron
Hydrogen bond
a weak bond that forms when a covalently bound H is attracted to a (-) atom
Cohesive
When 2 of the same molecules are attracted to each other.
ie: waters magnetic attraction to other water molcules
Properties of water
High surface tension
Low freezing point
High Boiling point
Ice is less dense than liquid water
Because it's polar, it can dissolve polar substances
Oxidation
to Lose an electron or hydrogen
Reduction
To gain an electron or hydrogen
OH
Hydroxide
Most acidic pH
1 on a scale from 1-14
Higher concentration of H+
Most basic pH
14 on a scale from 1-14
Lower concentration of H+
Higher in -OH
