| 1920351465 | Synthesis: | : The process of building larger chemical molecules from smaller building blocks. ex- amino acids link together to form proteins | 0 | |
| 1920351466 | Hydrolysis: | The process of breaking down larger chemical molecules into smaller ones. ex- starch breaks down into simple sugars. | 1 | |
| 1920351467 | Enzymes: | Special types of proteins that activate all chemical reactions within a living thing including the hydrolysis (breaking down) and hydrolysis (building up) of chemical substances. | 2 | |
| 1920351468 | Biological Catalyst | An enzyme; enzymes are known as catalyst because they activate chemical reactions that occur within living things. | 3 | |
| 1920351469 | Active Site: | Active Site: The specific site where an enzymes fits into the substance it is acting on; usually has a specific shape and works like pieces of a puzzle. | 4 | |
| 1920351470 | pH: | The measure of how acidic or basic something is on a scale from 1-14 with 7 being neutral, 1-6 being acidic and 8-14 being basic. | 5 | |
| 1920351471 | Inorganic Compounds | Compounds that do not contain carbon and hydrogen together Ex- H2O | 6 | |
| 1920351472 | Organic Compound: | Compounds containing carbon and hydrogen together and are always contained within life (living things are made up of organic compounds). ex C6H12O6 -glucose Types of Organic Compounds Proteins | 7 | |
| 1920351473 | Proteins | Organic compounds containing the elements C, H, O and N and are made from long chains of amino acids. Used for tissue repair | 8 | |
| 1920351474 | Amino Acids: | The building blocks of proteins. | 9 | |
| 1920351475 | Carbohydrates: | Organic compounds containing the elements C, H, and O and are made from simple sugars. (ex- starch) Used as an energy source (ATP) | 10 | |
| 1920351476 | Simple Sugars: | The building blocks of Carbohydrates ex- glucose | 11 | |
| 1920351477 | Fats/Lipids: | Organic compounds composed of C, H, and O and are made from fatty acids and glycerol. Used as an energy source and organ protection/insulation. | 12 | |
| 1920351478 | Glycerol & Fatty Acids: | The building blocks of Fats/Lipids. | 13 | |
| 1920351479 | Nucleic Acids : | Nucleic Acids : Organic compounds composed of C, H, O, N and P and are made from nucleotides. Ex, DNA, RNA. Used to store genetic information | 14 | |
| 1920351480 | Nucleotides: | Composed of a phosphate, ribose or deoxyribose, and a nitrogen base | 15 |
