5166257635MoleculeThe smallest particle in a chemical element or compound. These particles are made up of two or more atoms that are held together by chemical bonds.1
5166257636Covalent bondA chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.2
5166257637Ionic bondA type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.3
5166257638Hydrogen bondThe attractive force between the hydrogen attached to an electronegative atom of one molecule and an electronegative atom of a different molecule.4
5166257639MacromoleculeA very large molecule, such as protein, commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits (monomers). They are sometimes composed of thousands or more atoms.5
5166257640OrganelleStructures with specialized functions suspended in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell.6
5166257641TissueDistinct types of material which make up organisms and consist of specialized cells and their products.7
5166257642CarbohydrateA biological molecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms. Examples are sugar, cellulose, chitin and starch.8
5166257643Nucleic acidA large biological molecule made up of nucleotides. Examples are DNA and RNA.9
5166257644ProteinA large biological molecule composed of one or more long chains of amino acids. Examples include all enzymes, collagen, keratin, insulin, immunoglobulins, muscle fibers.10
5166257645LipidA large biological molecule made up of fatty acids that are not soluble water. Examples include fats, waxes, and cholesterol.11
5166257646Isotopeeach 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; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.12
5166257647Isomereach of two or more compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and different properties.13
5166257648Enzymea protein produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.14
5166257649Monomera subunit of a bigger molecule, a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer.15
5166257650Polymera substance that has a molecular structure consisting chiefly or entirely of a large number of similar units bonded together, e.g., many synthetic organic materials used as plastics and resins.16
5166257651Elementeach of more than one hundred substances that cannot be chemically interconverted or broken down into simpler substances.17
