Organic Molecules
The organic molecule that contains all the instructions for your body.
What is DNA?
These are the outermost electrons that determine how atoms bond with each other.
What is valence?
The 'stuff' that makes up the material universe.
What are 'reactants'?
A tool that uses light to make samples look larger.
What is a microscope?
The base units of carbohydrates
What are monosaccharides? (or glucose?)
The weakest kind of bond
The study of matter and how it changes.
What is Chemistry?
Reactions that release heat, meaning the products have lower potential energy than the reactants.
The Biblical command to fill the earth and have dominion over it.
What is the Creation Mandate?
In its completed form it looks a bit like a tangled ball of yarn, but is actually a functioning tiny machine.
What is a protein?
This type of bond is very strong and stable in organic molecules, often creating the long lasting "backbones" of them.
What is a covalent bond?
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
What are the three parts of an atom?
Reactions that build up a molecule, resulting in the products having more potential energy than the reactants.
What is an endothermic reaction?
Observation, Research, Hypothesis, Experimentation, Analysis, Conclusion.
What is the scientific method?
The base units of proteins
What are amino acids?
This type of bond is soluble in water
What is an ionic bond?
A solution with a low pH and a lot of free hydrogen ions.
What is an acid?
2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O
12 on each side of the equation
How many hydrogen atoms are on each side of the equation?
A comprehensive explanation of how something in the natural world that is well supported and repeatedly confirmed through lots of experimentation.
What is a scientific theory?
The type of lipid that makes up cell membranes, it has a polar and nonpolar end.
What is a phospholipid?
This type of bond is responsible for water's important cohesive and adhesive qualities.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The neutrons and protons of an atom combined, expressed as an average.
What is atomic mass?
2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O
The number of oxygens on each side of this equation
How many is 14?
In an experiment, some dogs are given dog food made mostly of meat, and others given food mostly of vegetables. The fitness of the dogs is measured over a few months. The fitness level of the dogs is... (hint: think of the vocab in the experiment and data portions of labs)
What is a dependent variable?
