| Chemical change | A change that alters the makeup of the elements or molecules of a substance |
| Concentration | A measurement of how much substance exists within a certain volume |
| Dehydration reaction | A chemical reaction in which molecules combine by ejecting water |
| Diffusion | The random motion of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration |
| Disaccharides | Carbohydrates that are made up of two monosaccharides |
| Element | All atoms that contains the same number of protons |
| Hydrophobic | Lacking any affinity to water |
| Hydrogen bond | A strong attraction between hydrogen atoms and certain other atoms (usually oxygen or nitrogen) in specific molecules |
| Hydrolysis | Breaking down complex molecules by the chemical addition of water |
| Isomers | Two different molecules that have the same chemical formula |
| Matter | Anything that has mass and takes up space |
| Model | An explanation or representation of something that cannot be seen |
