| Define temperature | how rapidly its individual molecules are moving |
| Hydrophobic Exclusion | the tendency of non-polar molecules to aggregate in water |
| Polymers | a long molecule built by linking together a large number of small, similar chemical subunits |
| What makes up an amino acid | amino group, carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, a side group, all bounded to a central carbon atom |
