|---|---|
| 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 |
