basic unit of structure
Term
nucleus
Definition
where protons and neutrons lie
Term
electron
Definition
negative charge particle with such a small amnt of mass that it is not relevant
Term
element
Definition
a pure substance (made of one type of atom)
Term
isotope
Definition
different from atom because they have different number of neutrons
Term
compound
Definition
a substance formed by combining two or more elements
Term
ion
Definition
positively or negatively charged ions (through ionic bond)
Term
molecule
Definition
smallest unit of a compound
Term
van der waal's forces
Definition
(i.e. magnet)opposite charged regions of nearby molecules
Term
hydrogen bond
Definition
The hydrogen bond (5 to 30 kJ/mole) is stronger than a van der Waals interaction, but weaker than covalent or ionic bonds.
hydrogen atom's attractive interaction with an electronegative atom (ie oxygen)
Term
cohesion
Definition
an attraction between molecules of the same substance
Term
adhesion
Definition
an attraction between molecules of different substances

single sugar molecule
Term
polysaccharide
Definition
more than one sugar molecule
Term
lipid
Definition
vital to membrane
Term
nucleic acid
Definition
a macromolecule made up of nucleotides nucleic acids store and transmit hereditary or genetic information
Term
nucleotide
Definition
nitrogen base, 5 carbon sugar, phosphate group
joined together by convalent bonds to form nucleic acids
Term
ribonucleic acid
Definition
RNA - contains the sugar ribose (type of nucleic acid
Term
deoxyribonucleic acid
Definition
DNA- contains the sugar deoxyribose (type of nucleic acid)
Term
protein
Definition
made of chains of amino acids
control rate of reactions
regulate cell processes
used in bones and muscles
transfer substances in & out of cells
fight disease!
Term
amino acid
Definition
form proteins!!
joined by amino group and carboxyl group in a peptide bond to form proteinsss!!!
Term
chemical reaction
Definition
a process that changes one set of chemicals into another
(inhaling carbon dioxide+water -->carbon dioxide)
Term
activation energy
Definition
energy that is needed in order to get a reaction
Term
catalyst
Definition
a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction
Term
enzyme
Definition
is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst
Term
substrate
Definition
enzymes act on it
the big (pac man) eating the ball

fatty acid
Definition
form lipids
Term
amino group
Definition
(peptide bond) one end of an amino acid - allows amino acids to join together easily
Term
carboxyl group
Definition
(peptide bond) one end of an amino acid - allows amino acids to join together easily
