Atomic Structure
These particles are found in the nucleus of an atom and are positively charged
What are protons?
What is 0-14?
These subunits are the building blocks to polymers, forming all macromolecules
What are monomers?
This is the monomer, or building blocks, of nucleic acids
What are nucleotides?
The phospholipid bilayer makes up the cell membrane. This part of a phospholipid is hydrophobic, or water-fearing.
What is the tail?
This element on the periodic table has an atomic mass number of 40.
What is calcium?
A basic solution will contain a higher concentration of these types of ions in its solution
What are hydroxide (OH-) ions?
These macromolecules provide the body with a quick, short-term use of energy
What are carbohydrates?
This nucleic acid is single-stranded and contains the nitrogenous base Uracil
What is RNA
These parts of the cell membrane are embedded in the membrane and assist in the transportation of various substances in/out of the cell.
What are proteins?
This element on the periodic table has 18 protons in its nucleus
What is Argon?
A chemical reaction will not occur, unless it contains ______ ______
What is activation energy?
These are the monomers of proteins.
What are amino acids?
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is molecule containing _____ phosphate groups
What is Three?
What are cholesterol?
This type of bond forms when there is a transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal
What is an Ionic bond?
This type of chemical reaction absorbs energy, and therefore, contains more energy in its products than its reactants
What is an Endothermic reaction?
This macromolecule is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen
What is a protein?
Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids. They contain three components: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a "base" containing this chemical element
What is nitrogen?
This process is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a high concentration to a low concentration
What is osmosis?
This polar molecule has 2 slightly positive hydrogen atoms and 1 slightly negative oxygen atom
What is water?
These proteins act as a catalyst in living organisms, speeding up the rates of chemical reactions.
What are enzymes?
These monomers of lipids, such as oils, contain a double bond between 2 carbon atoms
What are unsaturated fats?
ATP (adenosine trisphosphate) stores energy in the bond between its _________
What are phosphate groups?
What is active transport?
