Maintaining stability when the external environment is changing is an example of this.
What is Homeostasis?
300
This is a slight attraction between oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules.
What is van der Waals forces?

The presence of more than one Carbon to Carbon double bond (C=C) in a lipid tells us this.
What is the lipid is Polyunsaturated.
400
This is a well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations and hypothesis AND allows accurate predictions about new situations.
What is a Theory?

The breakdown of materials that an organism takes is as known as this.
What is Metabolism?
400
An ionic bond is formed by this.
What is when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
400
The pneumonic device, "Carbon is going SHOP'N" helps us to remember this.

These are the eight characteristics of life.
What is they are made up of cell, have a universal genetic code, obtain & use materials and energy, grow and develop, reproduce, respond to their environment, change over time, and maintain homeostasis?
500
This type of bond occurs when the moving electrons travel about the nuclei of more than one atom.
What is a Covalent Bond?
500
These are weak acids or bases that prevent sharp sudden changes in pH.
What are Buffers?
