True
False
Organisms:
Celled or multicellular.
Survive based on a chemical reaction called metabolism.
Homeostasis coordinates the biological process of a cell.
Cells only exists in plants and animals.
Biochemicals bind to form biomolecules and the chemicals are organized by water.
True
False
Atomic Structure:
Center is nucleus.
Nucleus is composed of 2 subatomic particles called neutrons (negative) and protons (positive).
Electrons orbit.
Atomic number refers to the number of protons and mass is total of protons and neutrons.
Atoms are electrically neutral so the number of protons equals number of electrons.
Chemical Bonding:
Energy holding 2 atoms together.
Grouping of atoms forms a molecule.
Ionic bonds and covalent bonds.
Compound is molecule with more than 1 atom.
Macromolecule contains 2 different atoms.
Ionic bond is when one atom donates an electron to another.
True
False
Covalent bond is when two atoms share electrons, creating a full and stable outermost electron shell.
True
False
An atom that loses electron is called cation.
True
False
Atom that gains electron is called anion.
True
False
Organic Molecules:
All living organisms.
Held together by covalent bonds made of carbon atoms. Hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen can attach.
Includes carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Large organic molecules are called macromolecules.
4 main macromolecules include proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Inorganic molecules are small number of atoms held together by ionic bonding.
True
False
Water:
Covalent bonds.
Oxygen partially negative.
Hydrogen partially positive.
Polar.
Hydrogen bond due to attraction of polar molecules.
Hydrogen bonding is water acting like a magnet.
True
False
Cohesion is to surface tension and means water attracts water.
True
False
