Question | Answer |
---|---|
a substance that decreases the activation energy need to start as chemical reaction. | catalyst |
catalysts for chemical reactions in living things. | enzyme |
specific reactants that an enzyme acts on. | substrate |
attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and slightly negative atom. | hydrogen bond |
the attraction among molecules of a substance. | cohesion |
the attraction among molecules of a different substance. | adhesion |
mixture of substances that's the same throughout. | solution |
substance that is present in the greater amount and that dissolves another substance. | solvent |
the substance that dissolves in a solvent. | solute |
a compound that releases a proton. | acid |
compounds that removes h+ ions from a solution. | base |
each subunit in the complete molecule | monomer |
a molecule that contains many monomers bonded together. | polymer |
molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. | carbonhydrate |
nonpolar molecules that includes fats, oils, and cholesterol. | lipid |
chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. | fatty acid |
polymer made of monomers called aminoacids | protein |
polymers are made up of monomers called nucleotides | nucleic acids |
change substances into different substances by breaking and forming chemical bonds. | chemical reaction |
the substances changed by a chemical reaction. | reactants |
the substances made by a chemical reaction. | product |
amount of energy that will break a bond 2 atoms. | bond energy |
reached when both the reactants and products at made at the same rate. | equilibrium |
amount of energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start. | activation energy |
chemical reaction releases more energy that it absorbs. | exothermic |
chemical reaction absorbs more energy that in releases. | endothermic |
molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. | amino acids |
