| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Basic Sugar Molecule Structure | C6H12O6 |
| Fats | made up of C (Carbon), H (Hydrogen), and O (Oxygen); have nearly twice the number of H as C as sugar and a very small number of O; much bigger in size than sugar |
| Proteins | composed of amino acids, made based on the original DNA sequence; all contain C, H, O and N (Nitrogen) |
| Nucleic Acids | biomolecules; made up of three parts: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base; made up of P (Phosphorus) and N in addition to C, H, and O (examples: DNA and RNA) |
| Freezing Point of Water in Celcius | 0 Degrees |
| Boiling Point of Water in Celcius | 100 Degrees |
| pH Scale | a measure of how acidic or basic a substance is; formally measures the activity of hydrogen ions in a substance or solution, it is typically approximated as the concentration of hydrogen ions |
| Acidic | pH below 7 |
| Basic | pH above 7 |
| Neutral | pH of 7 |
| Mass of a Molecule | the sum of the mass of its atoms |
| Protons | positive charge |
| Neutron | neutral charge |
| Electron | negative charge |
| Like Charges | repel each other |
| Opposite Charges | attract each other |
| Below Freezing Point | a material will be in solid form |
| Just Above Freezing Point | a material will be in liquid form |
| Above Freezing Point | liquid becomes gas (is vaporized) |
| Gas | generally less dense than liquids |
| Liquid | generally less dense than solids |
