• Matter
• Anything that occupies space and has mass and weight

The ability to do work or put matter into motion

The constant movement of the tiniest particles of matter

Inactive or stored energy

Stored in the bonds of chemical substances

Results from the movement of charged particles

Energy directly involved in moving matter

Travels in waves. it is the energy of the electromagnetic spectrum which includes xrays, infrared radiation, visible light, radio and ultraviolet waves

Unique substance is that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical methods

And I'd shake checkerboard that appears in chemistry class rooms around the world. It is a complete listing of the elements in the universe

A1 or 2 letter symbols indicating a particular element

A subatomic particle which has a positive charge an atom

A subatomic particle that has a neutral charge in an atom

A subatomic particle that has a negative charge in an atom

Equal to the number of protons Its atom contains

The sum of protons and neutrons contained in the atom's nucleus

Is equal to the atomic mass

Different atomic form of the same element. isotopes very and only the number of neutrons they contain

Isotope exhibit radioactive behavior

The process of spontaneous decay seen instead of the heavier isotopes during which particles or energy is emitted from the atomic nucleus result in the atoms becoming more stable

When two or more atoms combine

Substance composed of two or more different elements the atoms of which are chemically United

Process in which molecules are formed changed, or broken down

The Fixx regions of space around the nucleus

The outermost energy level of an atom that contains electrons the electrons in the valence shell determine the bonding behavior of the atom

Form when electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another

An atom with the positive charge or negative charge

The bond involving the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Ionic compound that dissociates into charged particles ( other than hydorgen or hydroxyl ions) when dissolved in water

Extremely weak bonds formed when a hydrogen bound to one electon-hungry nitrogen or oxygen atom is attracted by another electron-hungry atom

Occurs when two or more atoms or molecules combine to form a larger more complex molecule.

Occurs when a molecule is broken down into smaller molecules, atoms, or ions.

Involve both synthesis and decomposition reactions; bonds are both made and broken

A compound that lacks carbon; for example water

A compound containing carbon

Substances that conduct an electrical current in solution

A substance that liberates hydrogen ions when in an aqueous solution

A substance that accepts hydrogen ions; protons acceptor

A substance or substances that help to stabilize the ph of a solution

a compound consisting of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups, present in all living tissue. The breakage of one phosphate linkage (to form adenosine diphosphate, ADP ) provides energy for physiological processes such as muscular contraction.

Organic compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; examples include starches, sugars, and oxygen

Litteraly, one sugar, the building block of carbohydrates; examples include glucose and lactose

The principle sugar in the blood

Litterally, double sugar, examples include sucrose and lactose

Process in which a larger molecule is synthesized from smaller ones by removal of a water molecule at each site of blood formation

The process in which water is used to split a substance into smaller particles

Literally, many sugars, a polymer of linked monosaccharides, examples include starch and glycogen

Organic compound formed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; examples include fats and cholesterol

Compunds composed of fatty acids and glycerol; fats and oils

Building block of fats

A sugar alcohol; one of the building blocks of fats

Fatty acid chains with only single covalent. Onds between carbon atoms

Fatty acids thatncontain one or more double bonds between carbon atoms

oils that have solidified by addition of hydrogen atoms at sites of double carbon bobds

Found naturally in cold-water fish, appears to decrease the risk of heart disease and some inflammatory diseases

A modified triglyceride containing phosphorus

A specific group of chemical substances including certain horomones and cholesterol

A steroid found in animal fats as well as in most body tissue; made by the liver

A complex nitrogenous substance; the main building material of cells

An organic compound containing nittogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; the building block of proteins

A strandlike protein that appears most often in body structures. They are very important in binding structures together and for providing strength in certain body tissue.

A protein whose functional structure is basically spherical. Also referred to as functional protein; includes hemoglobin enzymes and some horomones

A substance formes by living cells that acts S a catalyst in bodily chemical reactions

A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without becoming part of the product or being changed itself

Class of organic molecules that includes DNA and RNA

Building block of nucleic acids

Nucleic acid found in all living cells; carries the organisms hereditary information

The nucleic acid that contains ribose; acts in protein synthesis

Compound that is the important intracellular energy source; cellular energy
