When monomers are added together like stacking Lego blocks they create a ___________. 

Polymers, remember poly means many and mono means one. 

100

All organic compounds contain the element

Carbon

100
Proteins that act as biological catalysts........End in "ase".
What is an enzyme.

If a substance has a pH lower than 7 then it is considered a ____________, and contains a large amount of __________ ions.

Acid, and hydrogen.

200

When water freezes it becomes more or less dense?Think of icebergs and polar bears!

It becomes less dense causing it to float on top of liquid water

200
The building blocks of Nucleic Acids.
What are nucleotides.

Energy that is needed to get a reaction started.
What is the activation energy.
300
The attraction between a hydrogen atom on one substance to a negatively charged particle on another substance....Very weak bond.
What is a hydrogen bond.
300
The attraction between molecules of the same substance and can cause surface tension.
What is cohesion.

The Lock and Key Model is referring to which 2 parts of the reaction complex?

What are enzymes and substrates.

400

All of the following elements are in all biomolecules except: Carbon, Hydrogen, Phosphorus, Oxygen, Nitrogen

What is Phosphorus and Nitrogen. They are only in 2 of the 4 biomolecules (Proteins and Nucleic Acids) 

400

The specific heat capacity of water is considered "special" because it is exceptionally high compared to most other substances, meaning it takes a large amount of heat energy to raise the temperature of water by even a small degree. Why is this so important?

Water's high specific heat capacity plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate and maintaining stable body temperatures in living organisms.

400
The building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids.
