| 5910106831 | Organic Compounds | Contains carbon (C) bonded with other elements, especially C, O, H, N Biologically "living" things | 0 | |
| 5910107022 | Inorganic Compounds | Everything else, ex. H2O, O2 |  | 1 |
| 5910109251 | Water | Inorganic, Chemical structure dictates properties and biological functions Properties of _____: Polar molecule; -overall neutral but slight charge end to end -dissolves other molecules, therefore an effective solvent |  | 2 |
| 5910114326 | Adhesion | Attractive force between unlike substances -Results in Capillarity: water moves through/up narrow tube or pores against gravity | 3 | |
| 5910114445 | Cohesion | Attractive forces between like substances -Causes H2O to change its temperature very slowly | 4 | |
| 5910119169 | Carbon | Has 4 outer shell electrons (e-): wants 8 electrons Shares its 4 electrons (e-) with 4 more e-of adjacent atoms (often C, O, H, and/or P/N) As each carbon atom creates 4 covelant bonds around itself a variety of sizes and shapes of molecules result: -chains -rings -networks (or branches) | 5 | |
| 5910119170 | Monomer | basic molecule, a building block, containing C, O, H (1 brick) | 6 | |
| 5910121303 | Polymer | created from 2 or more monomer that link together |  | 7 |
| 5910123650 | Macromolecule | very large polymer (1000's monomer) | 8 | |
| 5910129355 | Condensation (Dehydration) Reaction | reaction linking monomers together to form polymer (to build larger molecules) |  | 9 |
| 5910134429 | Hydrolysis | reaction breaking bonds in polymer to form monomers (breaking down large molecules) |  | 10 |
| 5910134430 | Organic Compound Groups | 4 major groups: Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids | 11 | |
| 5910140142 | Carbohydrates | Consists or C : H : O in a 1 : 2 : 1 ratio Importance: QUICK energy (starch), structural support in plants, product of photosynthesis |  | 12 |
| 5910142109 | Monosaccharide | Monomer of the Carbohydrate (simple sugars - ex: glucose, fructose, galactose) Chemical formula: C6H12O6 ring |  | 13 |
| 5910143598 | Disaccharide | 2 monosaccharides |  | 14 |
| 5910147118 | Polysaccharide | 3+ monomers of carbohydrates Starch found in plants, Glycogen found in animals, Cellulose found in plant cell walls |  | 15 |
| 5910542431 | Isomer | Different physical arrangements of the same numbers and types of atoms | 16 | |
| 5910149662 | Lipids (fats) | Consists of lots of C and H, a little O Do not dissolve in water (Hydrophobic) Importance: Plants; cuticle, waxy coating on plant leaves prevents dehydration, Earwax; in animals serves as waterproof, insect repellent, Lipids store lots of energy in many C-H bonds, Forms cell membranes |  | 17 |

| 5910189155 | Triglyceride | Fat polymer, 3 fatty acids and a glycerol At room temperature, fats generally are liquid in plants, solid in animals |  | 19 |
| 5910198634 | Proteins | Consist of C, H, O, N Importance: -found in skin and muscles of animals -found in milk, soy products, meat, nuts, eggs -creates enzymes which run chemical reactions inside of cells, help to run metabolism, act as intermediary catalysts in metabolism -speed up, reactions help chemical reactions to occur but they don't get used up in the reaction | 20 | |
| 5910201371 | Amino Acids | Monomer of the protein, 20 different are possible each had a similar basic structure |  | 21 |
