Can't We All Just Get Along?
Relationship between two or more organisms of different species where all benefit from the association
mutualism
Building blocks of DNA and RNA
nucleotides
Sum total of all process in an organism that use energy and simple chemical building blocks to produce large chemicals and structures necessary for life
anabolism
Number of protons in an atom
atomic number
Organisms that eat only plants
herbivores
Relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is neither harmed more benefited
commensalism
Basic building blocks of proteins, each containing a carboxyl group and an amino group
amino acids
Sum total of all processes in an organism that break down chemicals to produce energy and simple chemical building blocks
catabolism
Collection of atoms that all have the same number of protons
elements
Organisms that eat only organisms other than plants
carnivores
Relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is harmed
parasitism
Simple sugars; building blocks of more complex carbohydrates
monosaccharides
Process where one or more substances(reactants) are transformed into one or more different substances(products)
chemical reaction
Sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom
atomic mass
Organisms that eat both plants and other organisms
omnivores
Close relationship between two or more species where at least one benefits
symbiosis
Two different molecules that have the same chemical formula (bonus if you can give an example)
isomers (fructose and glucose)
A chemical reaction in which molecules combine by removing water
dehydration reaction
Chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons between two or more atoms
covalent
Organisms that depend on other organisms for food
heterotrophs
Substance that alters the speed of a chemical reaction but is not used up in the process
catalyst
Also known as fats, these complex molecules are formed when three fatty acids link to glycerol
lipid
Energy needed to get reactions started
activation energy
Positively or negatively charged atoms resulting from the transfer of electrons
ions
Organisms that are able to make their own food
autotrophs
