Bio Exam 1

Intro to Bio.

Scientific method steps

1. Observation
2. Hypothesis
3. Test
4. Conclusion

Does data always prove hypothesis?

No. Conclusions reject hypothesis, accepts hypothesis, supports.

2. Can be verified and edited
3. Dynamic
4. Objective

Limitations of science

2. Equipment/ tech is limited or unavailable
3. People can’t accept or aren’t ready to accept hypothesis

Science creates

1. Model
2. Theory
3. Law

Isotopes

Same # protons, different # neutrons

unstable isotope

isotopes which radioactively decay to form new stable isotopes of the same element or a different element

unstable isotopes examples

1. x-ray film
2. Geiger counter (through noise)
3. Scintillation medium (flashes of light)

Mendeleev

Arranged elements according to their atomic mass (P + N)

Mosely

Arranged elements according to atomic number (# of Protons)

atomic number

number of protons

atomic mass

number of protons and neutrons

how to find the number of neutrons

atomic mass - number of protons

ex:

Carbon:

12 - 6 = 6

Fluoride:

19 - 9 = 10

Chloride:

35 - 17 = 18

Bonds

Atoms bond to become more stable

* forms molecules by filling outer energy level
* can bond by either gaining/ giving/ sharing

Ionic bond

gaining and giving up electrons

positive ion

cation (more protons)

negative ion

Anion (more electrons)

covalent bond

sharing of outer level electrons and can be shared in a nonpolar or polar manner

_______________

octet bond

when the rule of outer bonds of 8 is satisfied

nonpolar covalent bond:

equal sharing of electrons

polar covalent bond

unequal sharing of electrons

hydrophobic (wa

hydrogen bond

the attraction of opposite partial charges.

causes pulling and tension

---------------

PH scale

power of hydrogen measured.

water: 7

humans: 7.4

buffer

molecule that resists a change in PH

natural state

homeostasis

buffer in body

bicarbonate and carbonic acid

Biochemicals

molecules of life and are all organic (contain carbon)

Single bond

chemical bond between two atoms involving two valence electrons.

Covalent bond

Double bond

1. a chemical bond in which two pairs of __electrons__ are shared between two __atoms__.

Triple bond

a chemical bond between two atoms involving six bonding electrons instead of the usual two in a covalent single bond. T
