Biology
Scientific study of life
Characteristics of life
Physical organization, home metabolism development, reproduction response to evolution processing DNA
Scientific method
Observation question, hypothesis, prediction experiment, and adjust repeat
Ionic bonds
Transferred from one atom to another changes, the charges an atom, and then those atoms stick together to polarity
Covalent
The sharing of the electron between two atoms
Hydrogen bonds
Bond one slight attraction for molecules, especially in water
Unique properties of water
Cohesion, adhesion, temperature moderation, density, universal solvent
Base
Assume that has a low concentration of hydrogen ion and a high concentration of OH ions
Acids
Solution that have a high concentration of hydrogen concentration of OH
pH scale
Measures the concentration of Hplus in a solution, goes from acidic to basic one through 14
Buffers
Solutions that minimize a change in pH
