Definition
The simplest kind of matter with unique chemical properties; composed of atoms of only one kind.
Term
Atom
Definition
Smallest particle of an element that has chemical properties of that element
Term
Subatomic Particles
Definition
Electrons, Protons, Neutrons
Term
Electron
Definition
Negative Charge, No Mass, Equal in number to number of protons (Atomic Number). Outside of Nucleus.
Term
Proton
Definition
Single Positive Charge. Located in Nucleus, Equal to number of electrons (Atomic Number)
Term
Neutron
Definition
No Charge, Located in Nucleus, Equal to Mass number minus number of protons. Capable of creating Isotopes.
Term
Atomic Number
Definition
Number of Protons in nucleus = number of electrons.
Term
Mass Number

Term
Atomic Mass
Definition
Average Mass of naturally occurring isotopes of the same element.
Term
Ionic Bonding
Definition
Bonds created by the exchange of electrons between two atoms.
Term
Covalent Bonding
Definition
Created by the sharing of electrons between two atoms. (Polar/Non-Polar, Single, Double, etc.)
Term
Polar Covalent Bonds
Definition
Electrons are not shared equally because on nucleus attracts more electrons than the other.
Term
Non-Polar Covalent Bonds
Definition
Electrons are shared equally between the two atoms.
Term
Ion

An atom which is charged either by the gain or loss of electron(s)
Term
Anion
Definition
Negatively charged Atom/Ion
Term
Cation
Definition
Positively Charged Atom.Ion

Definition
Building up of a molecule or compound from smaller pieces
Term
Catabolism
Definition
Breaking Down of a molecule or compound into smaller pieces
Term
Potential Energy
Definition
The stored energy in chemical bonds that, if released, could do work by the breaking of bonds.
Term
Kinetic Energy
Definition
Energy that is released an used to do work and move matter.
Term

Combinations of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins on the outer surface of a cell. Identifies Cell Type to Body and Immune System.
Term
Phospholipid Bilayer
Definition
Polar Head (Containing Phosphorous) on the interior and exterior of the cell (Hydrophilic); Non-Polar Fatty Acid Tail (Hydrophobic) on the inside of the Membrane.
Term
Integral Protein
Definition
Extending into the membrane/Lipid Bilayer of the cell. Often are carriers or Channels for movement in and out of cell.
Term
Extrinsic/ Peripheral Protein
Definition
Attached to integral proteins on the cell surface. Do not penetrate into the lipid bilayer at all.
Term
Non-Gated Ion Channels:
Definition
Ion Channels that are always open.
Term
Gated Ion Channels
