Matter |
anything that has mass or takes us space |
|
Neutron |
no charge |
|
elcetron |
negative charge |
|
proton |
positive charge |
|
Element |
something that is made up of only one type of atom |
|
Periodic Table |
arranges all elements in a chart. Includes mass of the element, the # of protons it has, and its 1 or 2 letter symbol |
|
Compound |
made if two or more elements in exact proportions |
|
Molecule |
a group of atoms held together by the energy of chemical bonds |
|
molecular compound |
form when different atoms share their outermost electrons |
|
Ions |
electrically charged atoms, either positive or negative |
|
Ionic compounds |
ions of opposite charges that attract one another to form electrically neutral compounds |
|
Mixture |
A combination of substances in which individual substances retain their own properties. They can be solids, liquids, gases, or any combination of them. |
|
Solution |
When two or more substances are mixed evenly |
|
Suspension |
Formed when a liquid or gas has another substance evenly spread throughout it. |
|
Organic compound |
Always contain carbon and hydrogen and are usually associated with living things. |
|
Carbohydrates |
Organic molecules that supply energy or all the cell processes. |
|
Lipid |
An organic compound found in living things that does not mix with water. They release large amounts of energy. |
|
Protein |
An organic compound made up of smaller molecules called amino acids. They are building blocks of many structures in organisms. |
|
Enzyme |
A protein that regulates nearly all chemical reactions in a cell |
|
Nucleic acids |
Large organic molecules that store important coded information in cells |
|

|
Nucleic acids |
Large organic molecules that store important coded information in cells |
|
Deoxyribonucleic Acid |
The genetic material found in cells (DNA) |
|
Ribonucleic acid |
Used to make enzymes and other proteins (RNA) |
|
Endocytosis |
The process of taking substances into a cell by surrounding it with the cell membrane |
|
Exocytosis |
The process in which the contents of a vesicles are released by a cell. |
|
Homogeneous |
Homo- the same Geneo- beginnings Us- the state of The state of having the same beginnings The same throughout 1. Solutions 2. Colloids 3. Elements 4. Compounds |
|
Heterogeneous |
Herero- different Geneo- beginnings Us- the state of The state of having different beginnings Different throughout 1. Suspensions |
|
Metabolism |
The total of all chemical reactions in an organism |
|
Photosynthesis |
The process in which producers use light energy and make sugars, which can be used as food. |
|
Cellular respiration |
When chemical reactions occur that break down food molecules into simpler substances and release their stores energy. |
|
Fermentation |
When cells do not have enough oxygen for cellular respiration they use this process to release some of the energy stored in glucose molecules. |
|
Inorganic compound |
Made from elements other than carbon. They contain fewer atoms. |
|
Passive Transport |
The movement of substances through the cell membrane without the input of energy |
|
Diffusion |
The random movement of molecules from an area where there is relatively more of them to an area where there is relatively fewer of them |
|
Diffusion |
The random movement of molecules from an area where there are relatively more of them to a place where there is relatively fewer of them |
|
Equilibrium |
When the relative number of molecules is equal in two area |
|
Osmosis |
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane |
|
Facilitated diffusion |
Some substances are so large that they can only enter a cell with the help of molecules in the cell membrane called transport proteins. |
|
Active transport |
When an input of energy is required to move materials through a cell membrane |
|
Vesicle |
Transport and storage structure in the cell's cytoplasm. |
|
Compare and contrast simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. |
Compare: don't use energy, concentration gradient: high to low Contrast: simple diffusion does not have channel proteins and facilitated diffusion does |
|
Chlorophyll |
Chemical that allows plant to use sunlight to create chemical energies-- glucose. Necessary for photosynthesis. Gives plants green color. |
|
2 ways to get rid of waste |
Exocytosis- fuses the waste with the membrane and then spits it out Diffusion- gets rid of CO2 |
|
Photosynthetic creatures |
Bacteria Protists Algae Snails |
|
3 types of mixtures |
1. Suspension- 1a. Settle out over time 2a. Can be filtered 3a. Scatters light 2. Solution 1b. Does not settle out over time 2b. Can't be filtered 3b. Doesn't scatter light. 3. Colloids 1c. Don't settle out over time 2c. Can't be filtered 3c. Scatters light |
|
Pure substance |
Any form of matter that can't be broken down any further and retains its chemical properties. |
|
All matter is either... |
A pure substance or a mixture. |
|
Pure substances are either... |
Elements or compounds (Compound- Na wants to be like Neon, so it needs to lose one electron and becomes positive. Na+. Cl is a Argon wannabe and wants to gain one electron. It becomes negative. Cl-. To become neutral again the electrons have to balance out. -1 (Cl-) +1 (Na+) = 0, neutral. They become the compound sodium chloride (NaCl) or salt.) |
|
Compare and contrast Active Transport and Passive Transport. |
Compare: move substances through the cell membrane Contrast: Active Transport uses energy, but Passive Transport doesn't. |
