|---|---|
| Covalent Bond | Type of bond where electrons are shared |
| Solution | A mixture in which all the component evenly distributed |
| Monomer | Small chemical unit that makes up a polymer |
| nucleotide | Submit of which nucleic acids are composed; made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. |
| nucleic acid | macromolecules containing hydrogen, Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. |
| polymer | molecules composed of many monomer; makes up macromolecules |
| Lipid | macromolecule made mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms; includes fats, oils, and waxes |
| Carbohydrate | compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms; type of nutrient that is the major source of energy for the body. |
| Protein | macromolecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen; needed by the body for growth and repair |
| Amino acid | compound with an amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on the other end |
| Solute | substance that is dissolved in a solution |
| Solvent | dissolving substance in a solution |
| Hydrogen bond | weak attraction between a hydrogen atom and another atom |
| Adhesion | force of attraction between different kinds of molecules |
| Suspension | mixture of water and non dissolved material |
| Cohesion | where water molecules stick together |
| Ionic Bond | Chemical bond where electrons are transferred from one atom to another |
| pH scale | pH scale tells us how much H+ ions in solution or how much OH- ions there are. Basically it says how basic or acidic a solution is |
| Acid | Acid: A compound that releases H+ ions into solution Base: A compound that produces hydroxide COH-) ions in solution Buffer: weak bases or acids that react with strong bases or acids to prevent sharp, sudden changes in pH. |
| Mixture | A mixture composed of 2 or more elements or compounds that are physically mixed together but not chemically combined. |
