    Study Notes

    Section 2-1 Atoms

    • Atoms are made of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Protons have a positive charge and are located in the nucleus.
    • Neutrons have no charge and are located in the nucleus.
    • Electrons have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus.
    • Electron shells are energy levels surrounding the nucleus.
    • Valence shells are the outermost electron shell and determine bonding properties.

    Section 2-2 Chemical Bonds

    • Ionic bonds form when one atom loses an electron to another, creating oppositely charged ions that attract. Cations are positively charged ions and anions are negatively charged ions.
    • Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons.
    • Nonpolar covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared equally.
    • Polar covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared unequally, creating slightly positive and negative regions within the molecule.
    • Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between a slightly positive hydrogen atom of one molecule and a slightly negative atom of another.

    Section 2-3 Chemical Reactions

    • Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
    • Potential energy is stored energy.
    • Decomposition reactions break down molecules into smaller parts.
    • Synthesis reactions build molecules from smaller parts.
    • Exchange reactions involve both decomposition and synthesis.
    • Hydrolysis reactions break down molecules by adding water. They are catabolic.
    • Dehydration synthesis reactions build molecules by removing water. They are anabolic

    Section 2-4 Enzymes

    • Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.

    Section 2-5 Inorganic vs. Organic Compounds

    • Hydrophobic compounds repel water.
    • Hydrophilic compounds attract water.
    • Fats and oils are hydrophobic.

    Section 2-7 Body Fluid pH

    • pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration.
    • An acidic solution has a pH below 7 and contains more H+ ions.
    • A basic (alkaline) solution has a pH above 7 and contains more OH– ions.
    • The normal blood pH range is 7.35-7.45.

    Section 2-8 Acids, Bases, and Salts

    • Buffers help maintain a stable pH.

    Section 2-9 Organic Compounds

    • Monomers are small, repeating units.
    • Polymers are large molecules composed of monomers.

    Section 2-10 Carbohydrates

    • Monosaccharides are simple sugars.
    • Disaccharides are two simple sugars joined together.
    • Polysaccharides are many simple sugars joined together.
    • Glucose is a crucial metabolic fuel.

    Section 2-11 Lipids

    • Monoglycerides, diglycerides, and triglycerides are lipids.
    • Phospholipids and glycolipids differ in their structure.

    Section 2-12 Proteins

    • Proteins are composed of amino acids.
    • The sequence of amino acids determines the protein's shape and function.
    • Protein denaturation alters the protein's shape and function.
    • Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts.
    • Cofactors are nonprotein molecules that assist enzymes.
    • Factors affecting enzyme function include temperature and pH.

    Section 2-13 DNA and RNA

    • DNA and RNA are nucleic acids composed of nucleotides.
    • Both DNA and RNA have specific bases that form complementary pairs.
    • DNA carries genetic information.
    • RNA is involved in protein synthesis.
