All atoms have a similar structure. Each are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. 





All atoms contain negatively charged particles known as ELECTRONS. These particles are found in regions around a nucleus known as Energy Levels.

The outermost energy level (valence electrons) determine how atoms form ions or form covalent bonds




Atoms can come together through different connections to make compounds (atoms of different elements bonded together in certain ratios ).....
          

using these types of bonds..........(both are strong bonds)

  

Ions are charged particles (+ or -)

1st Type of Bond

Ionic Bond: forms between oppositely charged ions 

Positive ions—formed when atoms lose electrons 

Negative ions—formed when atoms gain electrons



2nd Type of Bond

Covalent Bond: form when 2 atoms share their electrons




Molecules two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds


These are some of the most important atoms....

Ch. 1.4 Bio Tools and Technology

1.4 Bio Tools and Tech

Light Microscope: used to magnify specimens; limited magnification









Scanning Electron Microscope: Deflection of electrons used to magnify specimens; provides high magnification and a three-dimensional image












Transmission Electron Microscope: Electrons passing through a specimen used to magnify specimen; provides high magnification and a two-dimensional image










X-rays Imaging: X-rays passing through tissues used to show dense materials (bones, teeth)





Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Magnetic field used to show all tissues, including soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments 





Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Magnetic field that can be used to shown activity in particular brain regions while a subject is performing a task 





Computer Modeling: Use of computers to simulate complex systems when actual experiments are not possible 












Molecular Genetics: Study and manipulation of DNA at the molecular level
