Basic Chemistry
Electron, proton, and neutron
What are the 3 major particles that make up an atom?
This liquid is represented chemically by the name H2O
what is water?
This macromolecule is made of monomers called monosaccharides
What are carbohydrates?
Holds the genetic information for the cell and has the instructions for making proteins.
What is DNA?
This subatomic particle has a positive charge
What is a proton?
H-H
What is a non-polar covalent bond?
This macromolecule is made of monomers called nucleotides.
What are nucleic acids?
This allows cells to control their internal environment
What is the plasma membrane?
This subatomic particle has a negative charge
What is an electron?
H20
What is a polar covalent bond?
This macromolecule is made of monomers called amino acids.
What are proteins?
This is the term used to describe everything inside the cell.
What is cytoplasm?
The bond between two H2O molecules
What is a hydrogen bond?
Water molecules have this because oxygen has more electronegativity than hydrogen
What are partially charged ends?
This macromolecule is made of smaller subunits called fatty acids
What are lipids?
Where the proteins are made within cells.
What are ribosomes?
These bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms
What are covalent bonds?
It is considered a good solvent because it has both a partial positive charge and a partial negative charge
What is water?
Many monomers attached together.
What is polymerization?
The nucleus is unique to this type of cell.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
