This states that the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of the products.
What is the law of conservation of mass?
The kinetic energy necessary for reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.
This substance is used to transport cholesterol through the body.
What are lipoproteins?
This is the salt of a carboxylate ion.
What is a soap?
This compound is the energy carrier of a cell.
What is ATP?
This group consists of smaller molecules that are linked by peptide bonds.
What are proteins?
This type of reaction can happen in either direction.
What is a reversible reaction?
This branch of chemistry studies carbon-containing compounds.
What is organic chemistry?
Neither acidic or base.
What is neutral?
This hydrocarbon contains only single bonds.
What is an alkane?
This group is insoluble in water.
What are lipids?
This substance speeds up a chemical reaction but isn't permanently changed in the reaction.
What is a catalyst?
This has 2 backbones connected by base pairs to form a double helix.
What is DNA?
The following ion:
H_3O^+
What is oxonium?
This type of electrochemical cell is designed to recharge with electricity from an outside source.
What is a storage cell?
This group contains plans that guide the construction of all proteins in a cell.
What are nucleic acids?
In this situation, two reactions in opposite directions occur at the same time.
What is chemical equilibrium?
This molecule is used as a working copy of genetic information.
What is RNA?
This reaction absorbs energy from the surroundings and stores the energy in chemical bonds.
What is an endothermic reaction?
This is always found in the middle of a molecule, never on the end of a carbon chain.
What is an ester?
This lipid has no double bonds.
What is saturated fat?
This chemical change results from a collision between molecules.
What is a chemical reaction?
This group consists of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio.
What are carbohydrates?
This reaction can occur without continuing outside help.
What is a spontaneous reaction?
This contains a halogen atom bonded to a carbon atom.
What is a haloalkane?
This states that when an equilibrium is disturbed, the system will behave in a way that will at least partially offset the disturbance.
What is Le Chatelier's principle?
What is a decomposition reaction?
This segment of DNA contains the code for a specific substance, task, or characteristic.
What is a gene?
The pH of water.
What is 7?
This type of electrochemical cell generates electricity using substances that are continually replenished from an outside source.
What is a fuel cell?
This number tells us how many molecules or formula units of a substance are involved in a reaction.
