| 7211977868 | Methyl Group | A chemical group consisting of a carbon bonded to three hydrogen atoms. This group may be attached to a carbon or to a different atom. | 0 | |
| 7211978654 | Methyl Group | Non-polar molecule |  | 1 |
| 7211990155 | Isomer | One of several compounds that have the same molecular formula and covalent arrangements but differ in the spatial arrangements of their atoms owing to the inflexibility of double bonds. | 2 | |
| 7211991244 | Functional Group | A specific configuration of atoms commonly attached to the carbon skeletons of organic molecules and usually involved in chemical reactions. | 3 | |
| 7211995722 | Hydrocarbon | An organic molecule consisting only of carbon and hydrogen. | 4 | |
| 7211999399 | Enantiomer | One of two compounds that are mirror images of each other. | 5 | |
| 7212009988 | Enantiomer |  | 6 | |
| 7212011361 | Amino Group | A chemical group consisting of a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms; can act as a base in solution, accepting a hydrogen ion and acquiring a charge of +1. | 7 | |
| 7212011770 | Amino Group |  | 8 | |
| 7212012867 | Phosphate Group | A chemical group consisting of a phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms; important in energy transfer. | 9 | |
| 7212013778 | Phosphate Group |  | 10 | |
| 7212015043 | Hydroxyl Group | A chemical group consisting of an oxygen atom joined to a hydrogen atom. Molecules possessing this group are soluble in water and are called alcohols. | 11 | |
| 7212015717 | Hydroxyl Group |  | 12 | |
| 7212017950 | Structural Isomer | One of several compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures and therefore different properties. The three types are; structural, geometric and enantiomers. | 13 | |
| 7212018790 | Structural Isomer |  | 14 | |
| 7212020182 | Sulfhydryl Group | A chemical group consisting of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. | 15 | |

| 7212023327 | ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) | An adenine containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed. This energy is used to drive endergonic reactions in the cell. | 17 | |
| 7212023869 | ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) |  | 18 | |
| 7212025510 | Carboxyl Group | A group present in organic acids and consisting of a single carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom and also bonded to a hydroxyl group. | 19 | |
| 7212025772 | Carboxyl Group |  | 20 | |
| 7212026969 | Isomer | One of several compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the covalent arrangements of their atoms. | 21 | |
| 7212029321 | Organic Chemistry | The study of carbon compounds (organic compounds). | 22 | |
