| 5464631757 | Capillary Action | A process powered by adhesion that causes water molecules to move upward through a narrow tube such as the stem of a plant. | 8 | |
| 5464631758 | Dehydration Synthesis | A type of chemical reaction in which the molecules of substances bond together to form more complex substances- water is released -2 molecules covalently bond by removing a water molecule -one molecule loses a -oh and the other loses a -h | 9 | |

| 5464696918 | DNA | -Deoxyribonucleic acid -store and transmit genetic materials -double stranded -has thymine -one less oxygen than ribose | 11 | |
| 5464696919 | Fatty Acid | -type of lipid -do not dissolve in water - mostly C H and a few O -saturated vs unsaturated | 12 | |
| 5464736061 | Glycerol | -monomer of lipid -3 carbon -triglyceride= 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol |  | 13 |
| 5464736062 | Hydrogen Bond | -strongest of the intermolecular forces -when h atom bonds to a highly electronegative atom (like o and n) exists in the vicinity oof another highly electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons - big role in living organism s -h bonds to O N or F | 14 | |
| 5464753110 | Hydrolysis | -the breaking down of large molecules into smaller molecules -water is added to form the molecules and disrupt the bond linking the monomers together | 15 | |
| 5464780863 | Indicators | Lugols- turns starch black Benedicts- turns monosaccharide (carbs) orange Biuret- turns protein lavender | 16 | |
| 5464780865 | Macromolecules | - biomolecules are examples of macromolecules - giant molecules in living things that are made from 1000's of smaller molecules -all macromolecules are made by the process of polymerization= making large molecules from smaller molecules | 17 | |
| 5464812863 | Monomer | A simple compound whose molecules can join together to form polymers | 18 | |
| 5464812864 | Monosaccharide | -monomer of carbohydrates -glucose, fructose, galactose -different shape gives each of these sugars different tastes | 19 | |
| 5464827796 | Nucleotide | -monomer of nuclei acids - made of nitrogenous base, 5 carbon sugars, phosphate group |  | 20 |
| 5470238412 | Peptide Bond | -amino acids are held together by peptide bonds n-c-c | 21 | |
| 5470281414 | Phosphate Group | -type of functional group -OPO3 -molecule in the backbone of DNA and RNA that links adjoining bases |  | 22 |
| 5470449744 | Phospholipids | -building blocks of a cellular membrane -they have a polar head that is hydrophilic (water loving) and a non polar tail that is hydrophobic (water fearing) | 23 | |
| 5470641157 | Polymer | A long molecule consisting of many similar or identical monomers linked together. | 24 | |
| 5470670328 | Polymerization | -a chemical process that makes large molecule from smaller molecules -occurs through dehydration synthesis depolymerization= biomolecules broken down, occurs through hydrolisis | 25 | |
| 5470814188 | Polysacchride | -polymer of carbs -examples= starch, cellulose, glycogen, chitin | 26 | |
| 5470834567 | RNA | -ribonucleic acid -has sugar ribose -single stranded -one more oxygen than dna -has uracil instead of thymine | 27 | |
| 5470836221 | Saturated Fat | -fatty acids with only single covalent bonds between carbon atoms are saturated -straight long chain -animal fats, butter, lard - a lot of h -saturated fats are bad because they stack easily which clogs up blood vessels | 28 | |
| 5470836222 | Surface Tension | -cause of cohesion= water attracted to water -more tension = more difficult to break surface -provides habitat for many animals | 29 | |
