| Buffer | a compound that prevents sharp, sudden change in PH |
| Polymer | molecules composed of many monomers makes up macro molecules |
| Solvent | dissolving substance in a solution |
| Solution | type of mixture in which all the components are evenly distributed |
| carbohydrate | compound made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, type of nutrient that is the major source of energy for the body |
| Hydrogen Bond | wake attraction between a hydrogen atom and another atom |
| Nucleotide | submit of which nucleic acids are composed, made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and nitrogen base |
| Lipid | macro molecules made mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms, includes fats, oils, and water |
| Solute | substance that is dissolved in a solution |
| Suspension | Mixture of water + non dissolved material |
| Adhesion | force of attraction between different kinds of molecules |
| protein | macro molecules that contains carbon, hydrogen , oxygen + nitrogen needed for the body for growth and repair |
