Model
an explanation or representation of something that cannot be seen
element
a collection of atoms that all have the same number of protons
molecules
chemicals that result from atoms linking together
physical change
a change hat affects the appearance but not the chemical makeup of a substance
chemical change
a change that alters the makeup of the elements or molecules of a substance
phase
one of three forms- solid liquid or gas- which every substance is capable of attaining
diffusion
the random motion of molecules from a area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
concentration
a measurement of ow much solute exists within a certain volume of solvent
semipermeable membrane
a membrane that allows some molecules to pass through but does not allow other molecules to pas through
osmosis
the tendency of a solvent to travel across a semipermeable membrane into areas of higher solute concentration
organic molecule
a molecule that contains only carbon and any of the following hydrogen oxygen nitrogen sulfur and or phosphorous
biosynthesis
the process by which living org produce larger molecules from smaller ones
isomers
two different molecules that have the same chemical formula
monosaccharides
simple carbohydrates that contain 3 to 10 carbon atoms
disaccharides
carbohydrates that are made up of two monosaccharides
plysaccharides
carbohydrates that are made up of more that two monosaccharides
dehydration reaction
a chemical reaction in which molecules combine by removing water
hydrolysis
breaking down complex molecules by the chemical addition of water saturated fat
hydrophobic
lacking any affinity to water
saturated fat
lipid made from fatty acids that have no double bonds between carbon atoms
unsaturated fat
a lipid made from fatty acids that have at least one double bond between carbon atoms
peptide bond
a bond that links amino acids together in a protein
hydrogen bond
a strong attraction between hydrogen atoms and certain other atoms (usually oxygen or nitrogen ) in specific molecules
