The definition of Cells.
The smallest unit of life that makes up all living things. It has structural and functional components.
The definition of power and is it the same as energy?
Power is the rate at which work is done. Not to be confused with energy which is the ability to work.
The definition of a protein?
Chains of nitrogen-containing organic molecules called animo acids?
The definition of kinetic energy
The energy of motion or the created through motion.
If you stretched out a rubber band and didn't let go, what type of energy is it?
Potential energy
The definition of lipids.
Smaller biological molecules that do not mix with water?
The definition of potential energy.
energy that is stored but has not yet been released.
The definition of Enzymes?
A type of proteins that help control the rates of a chemical reaction.
The definition of joules.

Kinetic energy
The definition of nucleic acids?
organic compounds found in all living cells.
The type of matter that contains energy.
All matter liquid, solid, gas and plasma.
The definition of a Carbohydrates?
compounds composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen atoms?
The definition of photons.
Massless packets of energy that travel at the speed of light and can move even through a vacuum of space. Carries electromagnetic radiation.
Does a frozen ice cube have energy?
Yes, all matter contains energy regardless of its temperature.
The part of the cell that lipids make up.
They form a major part of the membrane that surrounds cells, this is called the cell membrane.
The definition of chemical energy.
potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds?
The definition of an organic compound?
Compounds that have carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bounds?

All matter contains energy regardless of its temperature
Give me an example of power.
electricity generated by a power plant, a car engine, wind turbine, a person lifting weights, etc.
The 2 definitions of an inorganic compound?
Compounds that are either (a) don’t contain the element of carbon or (b) do contain carbon bound to elements other than hydrogen?
The definition of Electromagnetic Radiation.
electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun, a form of energy it is light on a spectrum.
The chains of amino acids form.
long chains of nucleic acids form RNA and DNA?
The different types of Electromagnetic Radiation.
Visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared energy, which we perceive as heat.
Give an example of chemical energy.
