This element is the most abundant element in the human body

Oxygen

100

This type of carbohydrate is very simple

Monosaccharide

100
This type of cell is small, simple and lacks organelles

Prokaryotic cells

100

This type of protein catalyzes a cellular reaction

Enzyme

200

This structure represents the lowest level of hierarchical Organization

Molecules

200

These two components make up the nucleus of an atom

Protons and Neutrons

200

This type of reaction merges two glucose molecules to maltose and produces water

Dehydration reaction

200

This structure encloses all types of cells

Plasma membranes

200

This molecule is the primary energy carrier in the cell

ATP

300

This theme is the core theme of Biology

Evolution

300

The second electron shell of an atom can at a maximum hold this many electrons

8

300
This type of molecule has 3 fatty acid tails

Fat molecule (triglyceride)

300

These structures found in a cell can break down food or broken organelles

Lysozymes

300

In this process glucose gets broken down to 2 pyruvate molecules

Glycolysis

400

Due to this process our current crops, livestock and pets are very different from their wild ancestors

Artificial selection

400

This bond is very strong and uses shared electrons

Covalent Bond

400

These chemical interactions are responsible for the formation of secondary structures in proteins

Hydrogen bonds

400

These structures are the main component of cilia and flagella

500

This molecule is responsible for heredity and for programming the activities in the cell

DNA

500
This type of ion is specifically abundant at low pH

H+

500

A peptide bond is formed by the reaction of these two functional group in amino acids

Carboxyl group and Amino group

500

This solution causes a cell to lyse

Hypotonic solution

500

This molecules is the final electron acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation

Oxygen
