BIOCHEMISTRY 7TH EDITION FINAL PAPER FULL
SOLUTION STUDY GUIDE
◉ Mass vs. Weight.
Answer: A comparison of the amount of matter in an object (mass)
versus the force exerted by gravity on that object (weight).
◉ States of Matter.
Answer: Definite shape and volume.
◉ Energy.
Answer: The capacity to do work.
◉ Kinetic Energy.
Answer: Energy of motion.
◉ Potential Energy.
Answer: Stored energy based on position.
◉ Forms of Energy.
Answer: Different types of energy including chemical, electrical,
mechanical, and radiant.
,◉ Chemical Energy.
Answer: Stored in bonds (ex: ATP).
◉ Electrical Energy.
Answer: Movement of charged particles (ex: e-, ions →AP).
◉ Mechanical Energy.
Answer: Involved in directly moving matter.
◉ Radiant or Electromagnetic Energy.
Answer: Travels in waves (ex: heat, visible light, UV light, and X
rays).
◉ Energy Conversions.
Answer: Energy may be converted from one form to another, but
energy conversion is inefficient and some energy is lost.
◉ Law of Conservation of Energy.
Answer: Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
◉ Elements.
, Answer: Cannot be broken down into simpler substances; there are
118 elements, 92 of which occur in nature.
◉ Four Elements of Body Weight.
Answer: Four elements (C, O, H, N) make up 96% of our body weight.
◉ Atomic Symbol.
Answer: A letter or letters representing an element.
◉ Protons.
Answer: Subatomic particles with a mass of 1 amu.
◉ Neutrons.
Answer: Subatomic particles with a mass of 1 amu.
◉ Electrons.
Answer: Subatomic particles with virtually no weight (0 amu).
◉ Atomic Number.
Answer: Number of protons in the nucleus, which defines the
element.
