| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Atoms | Neutral, smallest part of element to retain properties, makes up all matter |
| Parts | Proton, Neutron, Electron |
| Location of parts | Pro and Neu in nucleus, ele in energy levels |
| Charges of parts | Pro is positive, Neutron is neutral, electron is negative |
| Elements | one kind of atom |
| Molecule | shares electrons |
| Covalent Bond | shares electrons |
| Adhesion | attraction between different substances |
| Polar | has slight charge, dissolves in water, water will dissolve polar and ionic |
| Nonpolar | no charge, will not mix with polar (water) |
| DNA | Stores hereditary information, double helix |
| Enzymes | speed up chemical reactions, decrease activation energy, not used up in reaction |
| Ionic Bonds | between opposite charges |
| pH Scale | acid below 7(many Hydrogen ions), base above 7(few hydrogen ions) |
| Organic Molecules | carbohydrate(sugars), lipids(soluble in water), nucleic acids, proteins (made of amino acids) |
| Polysaccharides | carbohydrate |
| Lipids | fats and oils |
| Nucleic Acids | DNA, RNA, made of nucleotides |
| Energy storage | in carbohydrates and lipids |
| Reaction Diagram | |
| Substrate | molecule on which an enzyme acts |
| Amylase | digestive enzyme that breaks down starch into cellulose |
