Exam 1 Study Guide

1.4

• What is the difference between a theory and a hypothesis?

A theory is vague and broad, has undergone extensive testing and widely accepted to be true. Hypothesis is more specific, and is more of a proposal.
2

• Describe a atomic structure

Atomic structure is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons being around the same weight and is located near the nucleus while the electrons are relatively smaller and are located in the electron cloud.

• What is valence?

The outer shell of an electron.

• What is the difference between covalent and iconic bonds?

 Covalent bonds are electrons while iconic bonds donate electrons.

• What is the difference between polar and nonpolar bonds?

Nonpolar - electrons shared equally. Polar - one molecule has the electron the majority of the time.

• What are hydrogen bonds?

Weak bond between 2 molecules. Negative, has a strong dipole-dipole attraction.

3

• Describe the chemical structure of water

2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.

• How does the ability of water to form hydrogen bonds affect its properties?

When hydrogen bonds are stable - ice.

Less stable, break and reform - water.

Cold weather.

Finally wore autumn clothes since it was cold enough. Grey t-shirt, fleece jacket, scarf, jeans, and black combat boots. Wish I was able to do a OOTD lol. School was alright, have a lot of homework and studying to do. Ugh, it's finally kicking in. Work is slowing down so I'll be returning to Hy-Vee, just waiting for the hospital to call me back about my resume first so I know what to do. Ended up crying my eyes out on my way home from Starbucks so that was nice - not. I forgot my lesson of not caring so much about friends so I don't get fcked up in the end by them and their 'friendship'. Redid my nails as well so yay.

Molecular Bio

Molecules: Carbohydrates | Lipids | Proteins | Nuclear Acids
*Macromolecules

Enzymes: specialized macromolecules that speed up reactions.
Dehydration reaction: Monomers are connected thru the loss of a water molecules.
Hydrolysis: Polymer bonds are broken thru the addition of water molecules.
-Hydrogen from water molecule attaches to one monomer while -OH group attaches itself to the adjacent monomer.

Carbohydrates(Sugars)
Monosaccharides: simple sugars

• More complex sugars are constructed of this
• CxHx(2)Ox
• Consist of Carbonyl group and multiple -OH groups and depending on the Carbonyl group it is either an ketone or aldehyde.
• Generally ends in -ose
• Ranges from 3-7 carbons long. 
• In aqueous solution, 5-6 carbons tend to form rings.

Dissaccharide: Two monosaccharides joined by glycosidic linkage

*glycosidic linkage: covalent bond via dehydration reaction

Polysaccharides: macromolecules, monomers joined by a few hundred glycosidic linkages.
-Purpose:

• Storage material
• hydrolyzed as needed to provide sugar for cells
• Serve as building material for structures that protect the cell or the whole organism

Essay Aside.

All essay aside, I'd like to personally communicate to you.
I honestly tried my best to avoid you so that there wouldn't be any awkward tension for others and you. Plus I didn't want to see you, see things that would irritate me, and over think unnecessary things. In the beginning when you were about 5 feet away and still in the middle of a group of people, I considered it a coincident since you had came with John and was probably just keeping close so you guys don't lose each other in the crowd or had some kind of plan afterwards but then I realized you were closer. You were standing directly behind John so that there was no way I could've missed your presence. You whooped, laughed, and loudly slapped Tony on the back. I guess a funny joke was being told. I shrugged it off and remained normal. I didn't want to bring attention to anyone or create a scene.
And then I heard that you actually wanted me to acknowledge you. Why? I thought you still disliked me so wouldn't that have made you felt uncomfortable? Or were you trying to feed your ego. Then again, I can't trust any source of information. One time I heard that you got upset when I was bad mouthed then I tried to rekindle. Backlash. You obviously did not want to have any contact with me, even stated that if I wanted to ask anything I should ask you instead of believing others. Whaaat? Total burn. so yeah. I won't believe anything unless it comes straight from your mouth but even then it'll be difficult to believe it.
Were you wanting me to acknowledge you as a sort of power control? To make it seem as though I was still into you, and that you were still desirable as ever? Nah. Yeah, I miss the sweet moments we shared in the past from time to time but that doesn't mean anything. I've changed and matured. I use to worry about running into you so I'd always dress up and made sure I looked the best so that you knew what you were missing out on but I'm over that now. As long as I've got a good paying job and an education that'll lead me somewhere I'm good if I look like shit.
I guess the question comes down to
1)Are you wanting to be friends again?
-If so why? Are you too scared to initiate so you're wanting me to or what?
2)Are you playing mind games to boost your ego?
3)Are you wanting a rebound? Cause I ain't doing any of that sheet.

All this mind game to see who still cares and who doesn't is honestly a struggle for power which I have no interest in. If you are trying to create issues or drama in my peaceful life then don't even bother coming near me because I will release everything I have pent up on you. I just want to focus on my career, my job, and my wonderful boyfriend. He is a sweet boy who puts up with my baggage and just wonderful. My friends are chill - even if most of them are trying to hook up with me and my relationship with my parents has improved greatly. I'm motivated and I will get what I desire. My feelings towards you has changed. You're no longer the person I once knew. You have an addiction to games, no plan of having a sustainable future, and you try to maintain a cool image. It's just so pretense. I wouldn't want to be tied to that. I'm happy with the way my life is. I'll do whatever it takes to be successful. I just wished you hadn't turned out this way.

So many tests coming up soon. Ugh. I hate this.
Now camera whore.

Overthinking.

Part of D2

Time passed and each one became wrapped up with their own affairs – avoiding each other as much as possible until last Saturday at Old Settler’s. I didn’t think I would see you there since I didn’t last year. Absent minded, I walked towards the direction you were in. I saw one of my friends, John, next to you. I didn’t want to create an awkward tension in the air. I didn’t want our eyes to meet. I quickly and silently waved to my friend and slipped away before anything could happen. Later on that night, John and his girlfriend found me and we talked for a bit. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed you approaching. I brushed it off and continued the conversation. Slowly, I noticed you casually coming closer and closer with a group of people until you were standing directly behind John so that there was no way I could miss your presence but I remained the same. You whooped, hollered, and laughed, loudly hitting someone on their back. I’m not deaf or blind. I knew you were there but I didn’t want to confront you or anything of the sort. I disregarded this event as an accidental run in.

Until I heard things that made me waver - last night’s run in was on purpose. Now, this piece of information isn’t reliable. I’ve heard things in the past about you still having a soft spot for me. I tried to act upon it, to rekindle but I ended up burnt so the idea that you wanted me to acknowledge you just didn’t seem logical. Why would you want me to acknowledge you? Weren’t you supposed to still hate me? Why would you want to be on friendly terms again, out of the blue too? Then came the breaking news, you and that Cretin were breaking up. So what? What’s that got to do with me? Unless you were lonely and looking for attention.

Dear Who I Loved,

It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, unless you count the awkward glances we stole from across the stage back in August at Carthage.

I owe a lot of my success to you; from earning that scholarship to Japan as an ambassador - which was an attempt to distract myself from thinking of you, taking on various jobs to show you that I wasn’t afraid of change, attending night school for cosmetology while still in high school to have a skill to fall back on. I wasn’t afraid of change anymore. I was willing to do whatever it took to impress you, for you to be in awe of my achievements, and to regret for ever letting me go. My motivation was because of you. By taking chances I met a lot of great new people and experienced different things which allowed me to grow and mature.

It took a lot to regain myself though. I was depressed, attempted suicide many times, stayed out late, relied heavily on alcohol, and I used others. This wasn’t me. This was a monster who wanted your love, your attention, your care. I was dumb for thinking you would be concerned because in the end I was only tarnishing myself and my own future.

I was foolish for trying to impress you. Obviously if an honor roll student with a part time job who use to cook and take care of you while you were ill wasn’t enough then what made me think a successful woman would be desirable? How stupid of me. I was trying to win you back in all the wrong ways; materialistically.  

Time passed and each one became wrapped up with their own affairs – avoiding each other as much as possible until last Saturday at Old Settler’s. Later on in the night a friend of mine, John, found me and we talked for a bit. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed you approaching. I brushed it off and continued the conversation.

No.

I don’t want to deal with that shit. I don’t want to be tempted. If this had happened earlier, I would’ve been delighted. Simply delighted that I would profess my undying love and what not to prove how much I loved you but that’s not the case anymore. I really loved you, loved you with all my heart and I may fall back into the same pattern if allowed. I’ve changed though. I don’t want to tie myself with someone who has no ambition for their future

Dear Who I Loved,

It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, unless you count the awkward glances we stole from across the stage back in August at Carthage.

I owe a lot of my success to you; from earning that scholarship to Japan as an ambassador - which was an attempt to distract myself from thinking of you, taking on various jobs to show you that I wasn’t afraid of change, attending night school for cosmetology while still in high school to have a skill to fall back on. I wasn’t afraid of change anymore. I was willing to do whatever it took to impress you, for you to be in awe of my achievements, and to regret for ever letting me go. My motivation was because of you. By taking chances I met a lot of great new people and experienced different things which allowed me to grow and mature.

It took a lot to regain myself though. I was depressed, attempted suicide many times, stayed out late, relied heavily on alcohol, and I used others. This wasn’t me. This was a monster who wanted your love, your attention, your care. I was dumb for thinking you would be concerned because in the end I was only tarnishing myself and my own future.

I was foolish for trying to impress you. Obviously if an honor roll student with a part time job who use to cook and take care of you while you were ill wasn’t enough then what made me think a successful woman would be desirable? How stupid of me. I was trying to win you back in all the wrong ways; materialistically.  

Time passed and each one became wrapped up with their own affairs – avoiding each other as much as possible until last Saturday at Old Settler’s. Later on in the night a friend of mine, John, found me and we talked for a bit. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed you approaching. I brushed it off and continued the conversation.

Why would you want to be on friendly terms again, out of the blue too? Unless you were lonely and looking for attention since you and her broke up.

I don’t want to deal with this ordeal. I don’t want to be used or tempted. Knowing you, this may be a test to see where you stand in my heart. To see if I’m still in love with you so that you can feed your ego of being desirable. If you had tried to contact me earlier I would’ve been delighted. Simply delighted to the point I would profess my undying love and what not to prove my devotion but that’s not the case anymore. I’ve changed. I loved you, really loved you with all my heart and I may fall back into the same pattern if allowed but I don’t want to tie myself with someone who has no ambition for their future. You’re stilling egotistic, playing video games instead of getting a job, unmotivated about your academic status. You disappointed me, brushed your child and I aside for the sake of your own image.

I must thank you though, because of the things you put me through it encouraged me become a better person. You became my motivation. My desire to make you proud drove me to success, I hope in return you will grow and succeed as well.
