| 1416392807 | nonpolar covalent bond | a strong bond formed when electrons are shared equally |  | 0 |
| 1416392808 | polar covalent bond | a strong bond formed when electrons are shared unequally |  | 1 |
| 1416392809 | ionic bond | a bond formed when a more electronegative atom takes electrons from another atom |  | 2 |
| 1416392810 | hydrogen bond | weak bonds formed between molecules. They form when a positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted to a negatively charged atom of another molecule. No electron sharing or taking. |  | 3 |
| 1416392811 | polar | a molecule with a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end. These molecules are hydrophilic or water loving. |  | 4 |
| 1416392812 | nonpolar | a molecule with no negative or positive end. These molecules are hydrophobic or water fearing. |  | 5 |
| 1416392813 | cohesion | A property of water. It is the attraction between two water molecules. This attraction creates hydrogen bonds between water molecules. |  | 6 |
| 1416392814 | adhesion | A property of water. It is the attraction between a water molecule and another polar substance. |  | 7 |
| 1416392815 | transpiration | the movement of water from the roots to the leaves of a plant. |  | 8 |
| 1416392816 | specific heat capacity | the amount of energy needed to raise one mL (or g) of water one degree Celsius. It is the degree to which a substance changes in response to a gain or loss of heat. Water has a HIGH specific heat capacity -- it can take in a lot of heat energy before it changes temperature. |  | 9 |
| 1416392817 | hydrophilic | water loving |  | 10 |
| 1416392818 | hydrophobic | water fearing | | 11 |
| 1416392819 | acid | molecule with a pH less than 7 |  | 12 |
| 1416392820 | base | molecule with a pH greater than 7 | | 13 |
| 2249960903 | buffer | a substance that resists change in pH even when an acid or base is added to it |  | 14 |
| 1416392822 | dehydration synthesis | a reaction in which water is removed to create a covalent bond between two monomers |  | 15 |
| 1416392823 | hydrolysis | a reaction in which water is added to break a covalent bond between two monomers |  | 16 |
| 1416392824 | denature | occurs when the natural properties of a substance are taken. Occurs most often with proteins. |  | 17 |
| 1416392825 | polymer | a chain of monomers |  | 18 |

| 1416392829 | polysaccharide | many monosaccharides bound together by covalent bonds |  | 22 |
| 1416392830 | starch | a polysaccharide found in plants to store energy long term |  | 23 |
| 1416392831 | glycogen | a polysaccharide found in animals to store energy long term |  | 24 |
| 1416392832 | cellulose | a polysaccharide found in plants to provide structural support |  | 25 |
| 1416392833 | chitin | a polysaccharide found in animals like insects to provide structural support |  | 26 |
| 1416392834 | steroid | a nonpolar hormone with a cholesterol base |  | 27 |
| 1416392835 | phospholipid | a lipid with two fatty acid tails and a polar phosphate head. It's the molecule that makes up most of the cell membrane. |  | 28 |
| 1416392836 | saturated | a lipid no double bonds between the individual carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain. That is, the chain of carbon atoms is fully "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. |  | 29 |
| 1416392837 | unsaturated | a lipid at least one double bond between the individual carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain. That is, the chain of carbon atoms is not fully "saturated" with hydrogen atoms |  | 30 |
| 1416392838 | amino acid | the smallest unit of a protein |  | 31 |
| 1416392839 | peptide bond | the bond between two amino acids |  | 32 |
| 1416392840 | alpha helix | the spiral shape formed by some polypeptide chains as proteins configure into their final shape. This is an option for the secondary structure of a protein. |  | 33 |
| 1416392841 | beta pleated sheet | the zig zag shape formed by some polypeptide chains as proteins configure into their final shape. This is an option for the secondary structure of a protein. |  | 34 |
