A chemical bond resulting from the attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What is an ionic bond
400
A polymer of thousands of simple sugars formed by dehydration synthesis.
What is polysaccharide
500

What is an enzyme
500
A type of weak chemical bond formed when the slightly positive hydrogen atom of a polar covalent bond in one molecule is attracted to the slightly negative atom of a polar covalent bond in another molecule.
What is a hydrogen bond
500
The maintenance of relatively stable internal physiological
conditions (as body temperature or the pH of blood) in higher animals under fluctuating environmental conditions.
