Atom Models
The subatomic particles that are in the middle of an atom.
What are protons and neutrons?
Made from monomers linked by chemical bonds.
Bond that forms between nitrogenous bases.
What is a hydrogen bond?
A testable prediction about the possible outcome of an experiment.
What is a hypothesis?
The subatomic particles that allow atoms to bond with one another.
What are electrons?
The monomers that bond together to form carbohydrates.
What are sugars?
Bonds that form when an atom steals electrons from another atom.
What are ionic bonds?
The variable the experimenter manipulates or changes in an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom.
The monomers that bond together to form lipids.
What are fatty acids?
6 CO2 + 6 H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
What is photosynthesis?
The variable plotted on the y-axis in an experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
The atom referred to as "the fundamental element of life."
What is carbon?
The bond that allows for the formation of proteins.
What is a peptide bond?
The reaction that allows monomers to bond to form polymers.
What is dehydration synthesis?
We caused this to happen to cells using force and soap in the DNA extraction experiments.
What is lyse?
The tendency of an atom to attract electrons toward its nucleus.
What is electronegativity?
The polymers that allow cells to make proteins.
What are nucleic acids?
The molecule that is used in the chemical reaction that breaks polymers down into monomers.
What is water?
The independent variable in our photosynthesis experiment.
