The Nature of Matter

Atom – the basic unit of matter

The subatomic particles that make up the atom are the:

Protons +

Neutrons

Electrons –

Element

A pure substance that consists entirely of one type of atom.

Isotopes

Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.

Radioactive elements – isotopes that have an unstable nucleus. Give off radiation. Have many important scientific and practical uses.

Compounds

A chemical compound is a substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions.

Example: NaCl

I - Chemical Symbols - represent the elements name.  Each symbol has 1 or 2 letters.  The first letter is always Capitalized.

    - If 2 letters are used it means that the first letter has already been used

        - ex: C = Carbon        Ca = Calcium        Cu = Copper

Compounds - 2 or more elements that chemically combine

    - The elements do not keep their original properties.

    - Compounds can be separated by heat or electric energy.

 - Compounds always bond in a certain ratio.  NaCl is salt, a compound made of Sodium (Na) - a silvery metal that explodes in water and chlorine (Cl) - a yellow-green poisonous gas!  Together they form the salt that we eat.

II - Molecule - the smallest part of a compound that contains all the properties of that compound.

    - Water Molecules = Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) and when broken down are gases, not water.

    1. Solution - all components are evenly distributed in a solution

    - Salt & Water = Solution        Salt = Solute        Water = Solvent

    2. Suspension - When something does not dissolve (Ex. Blood)

   3.  Acid vs. Base

        Water = H+(Acid)  +  OH-(Base)

        pH Scale      1-----------7----------14 

                         Acid         Neutral         Base    

   pH Scale measures the % of H+ ions

Bases are also called alkaline solutions.  Cell pH is around 6.5 to 7.5.  Buffers - found in cells and regulate cell pH.  

Chemical Bonding

The main types of chemical bonds are

Ionic and Covalent

Ionic Bonds

Formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom atom to another.

Ionic Bonding

Ions – positively and negatively charged atoms.

Ionic Bonding forms between a metal and a non metal.

Ionic Bonding

Metals are found on the left side of the periodic table.

Non Metals are found on the right side of the periodic table.

Covalent Bonds

Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms.

Example: H2O

Covalent Bonds

Covalent Bonds occur between two non-metals.

7–1 Life Is Cellular

 

 Key Concepts

bullet

The cell theory states that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells.

bullet

Biologists divide cells into two categories: eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The cells of eukaryotes have a nucleus; the cells of prokaryotes do not.

Vocabulary

cell
cell theory
cell membrane
cell wall
nucleus
cytoplasm
prokaryote
eukaryote
organelle

MID-TERMS GO HOME FRIDAY - 9/3/04

7–2 Cell Structures

 

 Key Concepts

bullet

The main function of the cell wall is to provide support and protection for the cell.

bullet

The nucleus controls most cell processes and contains the hereditary information of DNA.

bullet

The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that helps the cell to maintain its shape. The cytoskeleton is also involved in many forms of cell movement.

bullet

The endoplasmic reticulum is the organelle in which components of the cell membrane are assembled and some proteins are modified.

bullet

Enzymes in the Golgi apparatus attach carbohydrates and lipids to proteins.

bullet

Chloroplasts use the energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food molecules, a process known as photosynthesis.

bullet

Mitochondria use energy from food to make high-energy compounds that the cell can use to power growth, development, and movement.

Vocabulary

chromatin
chromosome
nucleolus
nuclear envelope
cytoskeleton
microtubule
microfilament
ribosome
endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
lysosome
vacuole
chloroplast
mitochondrion

7–3 Movement Through the Membrane

 

 Key Concepts

bullet

The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also provides protection and support.

bullet

Diffusion causes many substances to move across a cell membrane but does not require the cell to use energy.

bullet

Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.

Vocabulary

lipid bilayer
concentration
diffusion
selective permeability
osmosis
facilitated diffusion
active transport
endocytosis
phagocytosis
exocytosis

7–4 The Diversity of Cellular Life

 

 Key Concepts

bullet

Cells in multicellular organisms are specialized to perform particular functions within the organism.

bullet

The levels of organization in a multicellular organism are individual cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
