What is the difference between Cohesion & Adhesion?
Adhesion - water sticks to other things
Cohesion - water molecules stick together

Catalyst
A substance that lowers the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction. Although it is important in speeding up a chemical reaction, it does not increase how much product is made, and it does NOT get used up in the reaction.

What is a polar molecule?
Molecules (such as water) that have an unequal distribution of charges. They have oppositely charged regions.

What are the differences between Saturated and unsaturated fats?
Saturated- a fatty acid tail that contains all single bonds. These lipids tend to be solid at room temperature.
Unsaturated- a fatty acid tail that contains one or more double bonds. These lipids tend to be liquid at room temperature.

Amino Acids
Small compounds that are made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and sometimes sulfur. Term given to the monomers of a protein. ? + ? + ? —> protein
