Vocabulary Report

  • *catalyst -

    A substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed or changed significantly.

  • *activation energy -

    The minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction.

  • *pH (potential of hydrogen) -

    A measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

  • *amino acid -

    An organic molecule that contains a carboxyl and an amino group; makes up proteins and is a protein monomer.

  • *carbohydrate -

    Any organic molecule that is made up of C-H-O and is a nutrient to cells of living things.

  • *compound -

    Made up of atoms of two or more elements in fixed proportions.

  • condensation reaction -

    A chemical reactions in which two or more molecules combine to produce water or another simple molecule.

  • *hydrolysis -

    A chemical reaction between water and another substance to for two or more new substances; a reaction between water and a salt to create an acid or a base.

  • *lipid -

    A large, nonpolar organic molecule, including fats and steroids; lipids store energy and make up cell membranes.

  • *protein -

    An organic compound that is made of one or more chains of amino acids and that is a principal component of all cells.

  • *molecule -

    The smallest particle of a substance that retains the chemical and physical properties of the substance and is composed of two or more atoms.

  • *nucleic acid -

    An organic compound, either RNA or DNA, whose molecules are made up of one or two chains of nucleotides and carry genetic information.

  • *product -

    Substance(s) formed as a result of a chemical reaction.

  • *reactant -

    A substance participating in a chemical reaction.

  • covalent bond -

    A chemical bond between two atoms of the same or different elements in which each atom shares an electron.

  • ionic bond -

    A bond in which electrons are transferred; one atom gains an electron and the other loses an electron.
