Earth Science
A single molecule that can react with other molecules to form a large molecule.
What is a MONOMER?
The study of organic compounds
What is ORGANIC CHEMISTRY?
A hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds and has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom.
What is a SATURATED HYDROCARBON?
Cars passing at different speeds, in opposite directions cause this.
What is FORCES THE CARS TOWARD EACH OTHER?
Organic compounds that organisms need in small amounts, but they cannot produce themselves.
What are VITAMINS?
Two or more compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
What are ISOMERS?
Because of its strong, compact, rigid, three-dimensional structure, diamond is ________.
What is HARD?
Saturated hydrocarbons are called ____________.
What are ALKANES?
This is produced during the incomplete combustion of fossil fuel.
What is CARBON MONOXIDE?
Enzymes act as catalysts for reactions that take place here.
What are in CELLS?
A large molecule that is made out of many smaller molecules joined together by covalent bonds.
What is POLYMER?
Because the bonds between graphite layers are weak, graphite is _______________.
What is SOFT?
An unsaturated hydrocarbon with at least one triple bond.
What are ALKYNES?
What is OXYGEN?
The products of cellular respiration.
What are CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER?
These act as catalysts for reactions that take place in cells.
What are ENZYMES?
These can be coal, natural gas, or petroleum.
What are FOSSIL FUELS?
An unsaturated hydrocarbon with alternating single and double bonds between carbon atoms. The alternating bonds cause it to form a ring structure.
What is an AROMATIC HYDROCARBON?
Explain how a house could explode from high-speed winds outside.
What is -The LOW PRESSURE, fast-moving air OUTSIDE will create A PRESSURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, WHICH WILL CAUSE THE HOUSE TO EXPLODE?
The products of photosynthesis.
What are CARBOHYDRATES (IE. GLUCOSE) AND OXYGEN?
This energy is absorbed during photosynthesis.
What is LIGHT ENERGY?
Organic compounds always contain these two elements.
What are CARBON AND HYDROGEN?
An unsaturated hydrocarbon with at least one double bond.
What are ALKENES?
The pressure of fluid decreases as the speed of a fluid increases is called this.
What is BERNOULLI'S PRINCIPLE?
The location of energy storage in carbohydrates.
What are BONDS?
