TermDefinition
Acid molecules tending to raise the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution and to lower its ph numerically
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) An adenosine-derived nucleotide, C10H16N5O13P3, that contains high-energy phosphate bonds and is used to transport energy to cells for biochemical processes
amino acid monomer of a protein; takes its name from the fact that it contains an amino group
base molecules tending to to lower the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution and raise the pH numerically
buffer substance or group of substances that tend to resist pH changes of a solution
carbohydrate class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of CH2O groups
Complementary base pairing hydrogen bonding bases; in DNA thymines T pairs with A (adenine) G(Guanine) pairs with C (cytosine) in RNA U (uracil) pairs with A and G pairs with C
dehydration is the removing of the hydroxl(-OH) and the hydrogen atoms from two organic substances
deoxyribonucleic acid Nucleic acid found in Cells; the genetic material that specifies protein synthesis in cells
dipeptode A peptide composed of two amino-acid residues
disacchardie Any of a class of sugars whose molecules contain two monosaccharide residues.
double helix double spiral; describes the three-dimensional shape of DNA
hemoglobin iron containing pigment in red blood cells
hydrogen bonding weak bond that aires between a slightly positive hydrogen atom of one molecule and a slightly negative of one atom
hydrolysis The chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water.
lipid organic compound that is insoluble in water
monomer small molecule that is a subunit of a polymer
monosaccharide simple sugar; a carbohydrate that cannot be decomposed by hydrolysis
nuetral fat Neutral fats are produced by the dehydration synthesis of one or more fatty acids with an alcohol like glycerol

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
