Term | Definition |
---|---|
Basic Sugar Molecule Structure | C6H12O6 |
Fats | made up of C (Carbon), H (Hydrogen), and O (Oxygen); have nearly twice the number of H as C as sugar and a very small number of O; much bigger in size than sugar |
Proteins | composed of amino acids, made based on the original DNA sequence; all contain C, H, O and N (Nitrogen) |
Nucleic Acids | biomolecules; made up of three parts: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base; made up of P (Phosphorus) and N in addition to C, H, and O (examples: DNA and RNA) |
Freezing Point of Water in Celcius | 0 Degrees |
Boiling Point of Water in Celcius | 100 Degrees |
pH Scale | a measure of how acidic or basic a substance is; formally measures the activity of hydrogen ions in a substance or solution, it is typically approximated as the concentration of hydrogen ions |
Acidic | pH below 7 |
Basic | pH above 7 |
Neutral | pH of 7 |
Mass of a Molecule | the sum of the mass of its atoms |
Protons | positive charge |
Neutron | neutral charge |
Electron | negative charge |
Like Charges | repel each other |
Opposite Charges | attract each other |
Below Freezing Point | a material will be in solid form |
Just Above Freezing Point | a material will be in liquid form |
Above Freezing Point | liquid becomes gas (is vaporized) |
Gas | generally less dense than liquids |
Liquid | generally less dense than solids |
