New cards
What is a controlled experiment?
all variables other than the independent variable are controlled or held constant so they don't influence the dependent variable
2
New cards
qualitative data
information that cannot be counted, measured or easily expressed using numbers
3
New cards
quantitative
information that can be counted, measured or easily expressed using numbers

6
New cards
what is an element
tiny particles that make up matter
7
New cards
How are elements unique from each other?
the number of protons
8
New cards
What is a trace element?
a chemical element present only in minute amounts in a particular sample or environment.
9
New cards
What are the 4 main trace elements?
iron, zinc, iodine, and c
10
New cards
atomic number
the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
11
New cards
atomic mass
the mass in an atom of an element
12
New cards
isotopes
Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutron
13
New cards
electron shell
the outside part of an atom around the atomic nucleus
14
New cards
chemical equilibrium
a state where the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction
15
New cards
covalent bond
the mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms
16
New cards
ionic bond
type of linkage formed between oppositely charged ions,

one atom loses valence electrons and gains them from another, The atom that ==loses== the electrons becomes positively charged; the atom that gains the electrons becomes negatively charged
17
New cards
polar covalent bond
occurs when atoms are shared unequally in a covalent bond.
18
New cards
nonpolar covalent bond
occurs when atoms are shared equally in a covalent bond.
19
New cards
hydrogen bond
a low kind type of dipole-dipole bond that exists between an electronegative molecule and a hydrogen molecule bonded to another electronegative molecule
20
New cards
versatility as a solvent
it can dissolve different kinds of solutes than any other liquid
21
New cards
high specific heat
he amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 g of any substance by 1°C
22
New cards
pH less than 7
acidic
23
New cards
pH more than 7
alkiline base
24
New cards
pH of 7
neutral
25
New cards
what determines what determines pH of a solution of a solution
the presence of hydroponic ion relative to hydroxide
26
New cards
whats a buffer?
**things that donate or accept hydrogen ions from solutions so they can help balance pH.** 
27
New cards
Describe carbon, the bonds it can form, the number of electrons in its valence shell
**It can form four covalent bonds and has four electrons in the valance shell.**
28
New cards
polymer examples
nylon, polyester, teflon, epoxy, silk, wool, DNA, cellulose, silicone, bakelite
29
New cards
**Hydrolysis**
**a chemical reaction where water breaks bonds**
30
New cards
**Dehydration synthesis**
the creation of larger molecules from smaller monomers where a water molecule is released
31
New cards
carbs
CHO ratio of 1:2:1
32
New cards
**saturated fats**
solid at room temp, from animal sources
33
New cards
**Unsaturated fats**
liquid at room temp, from plant sources
34
New cards
What aids in the folding of proteins
**Chaperonins**
35
New cards
structure of amino acids
a basic amino group (−NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid.
36
New cards
scanning microscope
projects and scans a focused stream of electrons over a surface to create an image.
37
New cards
transmission electron microscope
focus beam of electron through surface to focus on inside (non-living)
38
New cards
light microscopes
can veiw living or dead specimens, light limits detail of images, 400
39
New cards
What domains include prokaryotes
Bacteria and Archaea
40
New cards
Endosymbiosis is
two organisms living together with one inside the other
41
New cards
What do all cells have in common?
plasma membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, and ribosomes
42
New cards
Why are cholesterol and unsaturated fatty acids important in low temperatures?
The ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids determines the fluidity in the membrane at cold temperatures. Cholesterol functions as a buffer, preventing lower temperatures from inhibiting fluidity and preventing higher temperatures from increasing fluidity.
43
New cards
What is the term for the measure of disorder in the universe
entropy
44
New cards
Are organisms open or closed systems?
open
45
