🗑
element   one particular type of atom that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance  
🗑
compound   a substance made of atoms of different elements bonded together in a certain ratio  
🗑
ion   an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons  
🗑
ionic bond   a chemical bond between atoms formed through the electrical force between oppositely charged ions  
🗑
covalent bond   a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms  
🗑
molecule   two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds  
🗑
hydrogen bond   an attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative atom (often oxygen or nitrogen)  
🗑
cohesion   the attraction among molecules of the same substance  
🗑
adhesion   the attraction among molecules of different substances  
🗑
solution   a mixture of substances that is the same throughout (homogeneous mixture)  
🗑
solvent   the substance that dissolves another substance; the substance that is present in the greater amount in a solution  
🗑
solute   a substance that is dissolved; present in a smaller amount in a solution  
🗑
acid   a compound that releases a proton (hydrogen ion) when is dissolves in water; has a pH lower than 7  
🗑
base   a compound that removes hydrogen ions from a solution; has a pH higher than 7  
🗑
pH   the measurement of a concentration's acidity  
🗑
monomer   a single subunit in a complete molecule  
🗑
polymer   a large molecule (or macromolecule) made of many monomers bonded together  
🗑
carbohydrate   - sugars and starches  
🗑
- carbon, hydrogen, oxygen    
🗑
- Monomer =monosaccharide    
🗑
- quick energy; some storage    
🗑
- 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen; one sugar - monosaccharide; two sugars - disaccharide; many sugars - polysaccharide    
🗑
- test: benedict's reagent

🗑
protein   Elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen  
🗑
Monomer: amino acid    
🗑
Functions: basic building blocks or living material; hair, muscles, fingernails; enzymes (speed up chemical reactions); transport in cell    
🗑
amino acids   molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur  
🗑
nucleic acids   polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides  
🗑
chemical reaction   a reaction that changes substances into other substances by breaking and forming chemical bonds  
🗑
reactant   the substance changed during a chemical reaction  
🗑
product   the substance made by a chemical reaction  
🗑
bond energy   the amount of energy that will break a bond between two atoms  
🗑
equilibrium   the state that is reached when bother the reactants and products are made at the same rate  
🗑
activation energy   the amount of energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start  
🗑
exothermic   the type of chemical reaction that releases more energy than is absorbs  
🗑
endothermic   the type of chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases  
🗑
catalyst   a substance that decreases the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction and also increases the rate of the chemical reaction  
🗑
enzyme   the catalyst for chemical reactions in living things  
🗑
substrate   the specific reactant that an enzyme acts on  
🗑
inorganic compounds   compounds that are not made by living things  
🗑
organic compounds   carbon compounds made by living things; form covalent bonds  
🗑
macromolecules   built by linking a set of building blocks (monomers) together into long chains (a polymer)  
🗑
monomers   basic units that repeat over and over in organic compounds  
🗑
polymers   made up of many, many molecules all strung together to form really long chains (and sometimes more complicated structures)  
🗑
