| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| PH scale | scale with values from 0 to 14, used to measure concentration of H+ ions in a solution; a PH of 0 to 7 is acidic, a PH of 7 is neutral, and a PH of 7-14 is basic |
| Monomer | Small chemical init that makes up a polymer |
| Acid | A compound that forms hydrogen ions in a solution with a PH of less than 7 |
| Base | A compound that produces hydroxide ions (OH) in a solutions with a PH more than 7 |
| Buffer | A compound that prevents sharp, sudden changes in PH |
| Polymer | Molecules composed of many monomers; makes up macromolecules |
| Solution | Type of mixture in which all the components are evenly distributed |
| Carbohydrate | Compound made of carbon hydrogen and oxygen |
| Hydrogen bond | Weak attraction between a hydrogen atom and another atom |
| Solute | Substance that is dissolved in a solution |
| Nucleotide | Subunit of which a nucleic acids are composed; made up of a 5-carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous base |
| Lipid | Macromolecule made mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms |
| Solvent | Dissolving substance in a solution |
| Suspension | Mixture of water and undissolved material |
| Adhesion | Force of attraction between different kinds of molecules |
| Protein | Macromolecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen needed by the body for growth and repair |
| Nucleic acid | Macromolecules containing hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and phosphorous |
| Cohesion | Attraction between molecules of the same substance |
| Amino acid | Compound with an amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on the other end |
| Mixture | Material composed of 2 or more elements or compounds that are physically mixed together but not chemically combined |
