| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| precipitation | a process where the product of a chemical reaction comes out of solution and settles to the bottom of the container |
| base | something that releases OH- into water |
| reduced (reduction) | giving electrons to atoms |
| endergonic | chemical reactions that absorb energy so that the products have more energy than the reactants |
| metabolism | all of the chemical reactions that occur within a living cell |
| kinetics | study of the rate of chemical reactions |
| chemical reaction | the atoms in molecules are rearranged in different combinations |
| catalyst | a substance that lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction, greatly increasing its reaction rate |
| acid | something that releases H+ ions into water |
| exergonic | chemical reactions that give off energy so that the products have less energy than the reactants |
| oxidation (oxidize) | the removal of electrons from atoms |
| spontanious | in chemistry, this means that a chemical reaction can occur with no indication as to when it will occur |
| enzymes | proteins that catalyze chemical reactions |
