_______ _________ occurs when new bonds form and/or old bonds break between atoms
|
Chemical reaction
|
|
Types of energy
|
1. Kinetic Energy
2. Potential Energy |
|
the energy of matter in motion
|
Kinetic energy
|
|
energy stored by matter due to its position
|
Potential energy
|
|
_________ _________ is a form of potential energy that is stored in the bonds of molecules
|
Chemical energy
|
|
_________ _______/_____ is a process by which 2 or more atoms, ions or molecules combine to form new and larger molecules
*Ex. A + B = AB |
Synthesis reactions/anabolism
|
|
_________ _______/_____ is a molecule is split apart
*Ex. AB A + B |
Decomposition Reactions/catabolism
|
|
______ _________ is the reaction can go in either direction under different conditions
|
Reversible reactions
|
|
Inorganic compounds
|
in general lack Carbon, are structurally simple and are held together by ionic or covalent bonds
*Ex. Water, salts, acids, CO2, HCO3- |
|
Inorganic Compounds
|
•Water
•Acids •Bases •Salts •Acidic Solution •Basic/Alkaline solution |
|
_______ is vital compound for life
|
Water
|
|
_______is a substances that break apart or dissociate into one or more Hydrogen ions when dissolved in water
|
Acids
|
|
_______is a substances that dissociate into one or more hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water
|
Bases
|
|
_______is a dissociate into both + and – ions in water, neither is H+ or OH-
|
Salts
|
|
________ _________ is a solution that has more H+ than OH- (pH below 7)
|
Acidic Solution
|
|
______/_________ _________ is a solution that has more OH- than H+ (pH above 7)
|
Basic/Alkaline solution
|
|
*An excellent solvent
*Participates in chemical reactions hydrolysis *Absorbs and releases heat very slowly *Requires are large amount of heat to change from a liquid to a gas *Serves as a lubricant |
Water
|
|
Organic Compounds
|
1.Carbohydrates (“sugars”)
2.Lipids 3.Waxes 4.Phospholipids |
|
Carbohydrates characteristics?
|
*important fuel molecules
*lots of energy stored in the C-H bonds *H & O occur in same ratio as water 2:1 |
|
What are the three major groups of Carbohydrates?
|
• Monosaccharides
• Disaccharides • Polysaccharides |
|
*Building blocks of carbohydrates
*6-C sugars: energy Glucose *5-C sugars: Nucleic Acids as Ribose & Deoxyribose |
Monosaccharides
|
|
*More stable than monosaccharides
*Good molecule to transport *Sucrose *Lactose |
Disaccharides
|
|
*more than 2 monosacc. joined together
*in this form they are insoluble and make good molecules for storing energy *Most are long chains of the same simple sugars |
Polysaccharides
|
|
*Fat-like substances that are soluble in organic solvents like alcohols or insoluble in H2O – nonpolar or hydrophobic
*Used to store energy for long periods of time *Have more energy per gram than carbohydrates or proteins due to more C-H bonds *Triglycerides: Oils and Fats |
Lipids
|
|
*a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acids attached
*most (95%) dietary fat is triglycerides *Adipose tissue *Fatty acids |
Triglycerides
|
|
Saturated fatty acids characteristics
|
*has as many H atoms as possible
*can “nestle” close together. *Thus solid at room temperature *animal fat (meat, dairy products, eggs) *nuts, coconut oil, palm oil *thought to lead to artherosclerosis |
|
Unsaturated fatty acids characteristics
|
*has double bonds between carbon atoms
*kinky structure that keeps molecules apart *Thus, liquid at room temperature *most vegetable oils *thought to be best for human consumption |
