| 6062243436 | Ion | an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. | 1 | |
| 6062243437 | Isotope | each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties | 2 | |
| 6062243438 | Molecule | a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction. | 3 | |
| 6062243439 | Enzyme | a protein produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. | 4 | |
| 6062243440 | Catalyst | a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. | 5 | |
| 6062243441 | Substrate | a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. | 6 | |
| 6062243442 | Carbohydrate | any of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars, starch, and cellulose. They contain hydrogen and oxygen in the same ratio as water (2:1) . | 7 | |
| 6062243443 | Protein | any of a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms, especially as structural components of body tissues such as muscle, hair, collagen, etc., and as enzymes and antibodies. | 8 | |
| 6062243444 | Lipid | any of a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids. | 9 | |
| 6062243445 | Nucleic acid | a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain. | 10 | |
| 6062243447 | Hydrolysis | The chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water. | 11 | |
| 6062243448 | Dehydration synthisis | process of joining two molecules, or compounds, together following the removal of water. | 12 | |
| 6062243449 | Nucleotide | basic structural unit of nucleic acids such as DNA. | 13 | |
| 6062243450 | DNA | a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information. | 14 | |
| 6062243451 | RNA | a nucleic acid present in all living cells. Its principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins | 15 | |
| 6062243452 | Chemical Reaction | a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as opposed to a change in physical form | 16 | |
| 6062243453 | ATP | composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups that supplies energy for many biochemical cellular processes | 17 | |
| 6062243454 | Saturated Fat | a type of fat containing a high proportion of fatty acid molecules without double bonds, considered to be less healthy in the diet than unsaturated fat. | 18 | |
| 6062243455 | Unsaturated Fat | a type of fat containing a high proportion of fatty acid molecules with at least one double bond, considered to be healthier in the diet than saturated fat. | 19 | |
| 6062243456 | Covalent bond | a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. | 20 | |
| 6062243457 | Ionic bond | A chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges. | 21 |
