| force of attraction between a hydrogen molecule with a partial of full negative charge | 4. Hydrogen bond |
| OH- ion | 5. Hydroxide ion |
| H3O+ ion | 6. Hydronium ion |
| if the number of hydronium ions in a solution is greater than the number of hydroxide ions | 7. Acid |
| solution that contains more hydronium ions | 8. Base |

| molecule that consists of repeated, linked units | 13. Polymer |
| monomers link to form polymers through a chemical reaction | 14. Condensation reaction |
| adenosine thiphosphate (cells the store a large amount of energy in their overall structure) | 15. ATP |
| organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of about one carbon atom to two hydrogen atoms in one oxygen atom | 16. Carbohydrate |
| monomer of a carbohydrate | 17. Monosaccaride |
| two monosaccharides can combine in a condensation reaction to form a double sugar | 18. Disaccaride |
