| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Atom | Atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. |
| Element | A substance that cannot be decomposed into smaller substances by chemical means, and is also made up of atoms. |
| Specific heat | Specific heat is the defined as the amount of heat one gram of a substance must absorb or lose to change its temperature by one degree celsius |
| Saccaride | a monosaccharide sugar or combination of sugars |
| Saturated fat | a type of in which the fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds |
| Lipids | Lipids are organic compounds that are fatty acids or derivatives of fatty acids, which are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents |
| Peptide bonds | A peptide bond is a type of chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group |
| Nucleotide | A nucleotide is one of the structural components or building blocks of DNA or RNA |
| Amino Acid | An amino acid is an organic molecule that is made up of a basic amino group |
| Hydrophobic | Hydrophobic liquids such as oil, will sperate from water. Hydrophobic molecules are usually nonpolar, meaning the atoms that make the molecule do not produce a static electric field. |
| Solute | A solute is a substance that can be dissolved by a solvent to create a solution. |
| Solvent | A solvent is a molecule that has the ability to dissolve other molecules, known as solutes |
| Hydrogen bond | A hydrogen bond is the electromagnetic attraction created between a partially positively charged hydrogen atom attached to a highly electronegative atom and another nearby electronegative atom. |
| Non polar bond | a nonpolar covalent bonds are a type of bond that occurs when two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other |
| Polar bond | A type of covalent bond between two atoms in which electrons are shared unequally. Because of this, one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other are slightly positive |
| Bond | Compare coordinate bond, covalent bond, hydrogen bond iconic bond, metallic bond |
