🗑
decomposition reaction   when 1 substance breaks down (degrades) to 2 or more substances  
🗑
combustion reaction   must involve oxygen, usually can involve burning  
🗑
single displacement reaction   has a product produced when one reactant replaces a part of one of the other reactants  
🗑
double replacement reaction   when two 'two part' reactants switch ions with each other  
🗑
substitution   specific type of mutation when one base is replaced by a different base  
🗑
mutation   change in DNA caused by a random error or a mutagen  
🗑
mutagen   UV light, carcinogens (cause mutations)  
🗑
Coefficients   this needs to be placed in a chemical equation in order to balance them  
🗑
subscripts   a number to the lower right of a chemical symbol which indicates how many of that type of atom are in molecule  
🗑
atomic stability   having 8 valence electrons  
🗑
polyatomic ion   a stable group of connected atoms, which overall, together, has a charge  
🗑
reason any 2 elements in same group on periodic table are similar   they have the same number of valence electrons  
🗑

🗑
molecular compound electrical conductivity   it tends not to  
🗑
bond   defined as an energy relationship  
🗑
zero   the overall charge on ionic compounds made of ions, and connected by ionic bonds  
🗑
usefulness of radioactive isotopes   determine ages of fossils  
🗑
catalyst is also known as this   enzyme  
🗑
subscript   the 2 in the formula for water  
🗑
law of conservation of mass   a reason to balance a chemical equation  
🗑
must occur in all chemical reactions   making and or braking of chemical bonds  
🗑

🗑
gene   string of nucleotides that has information for making a trait (such as brown eyes)  
🗑
three bases code for this   one specific amino acid  
🗑
endothermic reactions   need to have an input of energy in order for the reaction to occur  
🗑
exothermic reaction   will have an output of energy as the reaction proceeds  
🗑
chemical formula   combination of element symbols and subscripts that show how atoms combine in a molecule (example C02)

🗑
inhibitor   capable of slowing down or stopping a chemical reaction  
🗑
how the number of atoms at the beginning of a chemical reaction will compare with the number of atoms at the end of the reaction   will be the same  
🗑
evidence of reaction having occurred   formation of precipitate, gas, or a color change  
🗑
something most chemical reactions can do under the right conditions   go in reverse  
🗑
polar bonds   electrons are not shared equally  
🗑
yields   what the arrow in a chemical equation means or is read as  
🗑
each rung of the DNA ladder   a pair of bases  
🗑
chromosomes   within the nucleus, these are the structures that strands of DNA are bundled into  
🗑
one amino acid   what one tRNA will bring to a ribosome; determined by what the three base code is in the mRNA  
🗑
tRNA   acts like a taxi carrying amino acids to the ribosome, also helps translate 'nucleotide language to proteins'  
🗑
chromatin   made of DNA and protein, when coiled tightly about itself is called a chromosome  
🗑
progeria   early aging disease caused by chance- having one incorrect nucleotide  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
