Chemical Bonds
This type of bond is formed when an electron is donated from one atom to another, forming two ions.
Ionic Bond
This property allows water molecules to "stick" to other molecules, such as glass or soil.
Adhesion
These are the monomers (building blocks) of proteins.
Amino Acids
Enzymes regulate metabolism by speeding up reactions by doing what the activation energy?
Lowering activation energy
In a mixture of salt and water, the salt acts as this part of the solution.
Solute
This bond occurs when electrons are shared between two atoms to form a compound.
Covalent Bond
Water moves through narrow spaces, like a plant's root system, due to this specific action.
Capillary Action (caused by adhesion)
This macromolecule's primary function is to store genetic information.
Nucleic Acid
This is the specific part of an enzyme where the reactant (substrate) binds.
Active Site
Bleach, which has a pH ranging from 11–13, is an example of this.
Base
This specific type of bond holds amino acids together to form proteins.
Peptide Bond
This property of water allows aquatic organisms to survive under frozen surfaces during winter.
Water is less dense as a solid
These are the monomers that make up nucleic acids.
Nucleotides
In a chemical reaction, the substances that an enzyme acts upon are called these.
Reactants (substrates)
Lemonade, with a pH of 2, is classified as this.
Acid
This is an electromagnetic bond between hydrogen atoms and other electronegative atoms like Oxygen.
Hydrogen Bond
Besides adhesion, this force involves water molecules sticking to each other to form droplets.
Cohesion
Monosaccharides (simple sugars) are the building blocks of this macromolecule.
Carbohydrates
This term describes a reaction, like cellular respiration, that releases heat energy.
Exothermic
In a solution where salt is dissolved in 100 mL of water, the water is referred to as this.
(Universal) Solvent
Name the bond that holds the oxygen and hydrogen atoms together within a single water molecule.
Covalent Bond
Because water can dissolve many different substances due to its polarity, it is known as this.
Universal Solvent
These are the two monomers (building blocks) that make up a Lipid.
Glycerol & Fatty Acids
If an enzyme is exposed to extreme heat or pH, it may lose its shape and stop working, a process called _____.
Denaturing
What is pH actually measuring (don't write "acid or base")
Hydrogen ion concentration
