Organic Chemistry
100
The positive particle in an atom
What is a proton
100
The substances you start with during a chemical reaction
What are Reactants
100

This is another name for the chemicals that go into an enzyme reaction.

What are the substrates

100
Water is called this type of molecule because of an unequal sharing of electrons between it's oxygen and hydrogen atoms
What is a polar molecule
100
This is a component of almost all biological molecules.
What is Carbon
200
The two particles that are located inside the nucleus
What is the neutrons and protons
200
The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction
What is the Activation Energy
200
This is the specific location where a substrate binds on an enzyme
What is the active site
200

This phenomenon is the attraction of water molecules to themselves.

What is cohesion

200
These macromolecules can also be called sugars, starches, fiber and/or monosaccharides
What are carbohydrates
300
Type of bond formed when two atoms share electrons
What is covalent
300
A type of reaction where heat energy is released. Example: burning a candle
What is an exothermic reaction
300

This is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction by reducing the activation energy.

What is enzyme/protein/catalyst

300

Because the atoms within water molecules have charges, they align like magnets with positive attracted to negative forming an attraction called.  

Hydrogen bonds

300
This group of macromolecules includes fats, oils, and steroids
What are lipids
400

These are charged atoms of an element that have too many or too few electrons. 

What is an ion

400
The process by which substances are reorganized into different substances
What is a chemical reaction
400

Enzymes can be damaged by unfavorable conditions like high temperatures or extreme pH. This is called

Denaturation

400

Water is called this because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid

What is the Universal solvent

400
These macromolecules are made of small carbon compounds called amino acids
What are proteins
500

A bond that is formed when two charged particle are strongly attracted to one another.

What is ionic bond

500

This type of reaction has an arrow with two ends and the reactants and products can switch roles. 

What is a reversible reaction.

500

Enzymes in the human body work best at this pH.

What is neutral or 7

500

This property of water means that it is difficult to change the temperature of water due to its chemical property of sticking together. 

What is specific heat

500

This is the name of a monomer of DNA. 200 bonus points if you give the proper name of the macromolecule. 

What is a nucleotide. Nucleic Acids.
