Hypothesis

Scientific guess to explain an occurrence

Controlled experiment

Experiment that contains only one experimental variable

Experimental or independent variable

Is the thing being tested

Dependent variable

Data that is observed and measured as a results of the independent variable

Theory

Explanation of natural phenomenon that is backed by scientific evidence

Water is the universal solvent

Which means that many things can easily dissolves in it

Cohesion

Sticks together very well

Surface tension

The cohesion allows it to form droplets making a kind of membrane

Organic compound

Contains carbon and hydrogen atoms

Most of your body's molecule are

Organic compounds

Macromolecule

Large molecule

Cartonhydrates

Composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms

General formula

(Ch2o) where n is the number of carbon atoms

C6 h12 o6

Glucose

The building blocks (or monomers) of carbohydrates are

Monosaccharides

Monosaccharides

Simple sugars (saccharide=sugar). Exp. Glucose

Dissacrides

Contains two monosaccharides. Ex.1. Lsctose: commonly found in milk. 2. Sucrose: "table sugsr" transported in plants

Polysaccharides

Carbon hydrates formed from many individual sugars into long chains. Ex. Starch: in plants (breeds,pasta,potatos)

Cellulose

Cell wall of plants

Glueogen

Storge form of glucose in animals

Class of macromolecule thatdn

Do not dissolves in water

Compound known as

Fats,oils,waxes,and steroids. Lipid=fat

Phospholipids

Lipids that contain phosphate

Steroids

Lipids with four linked rings of carbon

Fatty acids

Are the building blocks (monomers) of lipids

Fatty acids are classified as either

Saturated fat or unsaturated

Saturated fat

Have only single bonds between carbons and max number of hydrogen

Unsaturated fat

Have double bonds between carbons making less room for hydrogen

Saturated animal fats (bad fats) are associated with

Heart disease

Plant oils

Can be substituted for animal fats in the diet

Matter

Anything that occupies space and has mass.

Matter is made up of elements

Substance that cannot be broken down by ordinary means

Think of elements as

"Flavors" of atoms

The six most important elements in living things

Spounch

4 of these elements make up 96% of living matter

Carbon,hydrogen,oxygen, and nitrogen

Compound

2 or more of these elements linked chemically

Molecule

2 or more atoms covalent bonded

Very small units of matter are called

Atoms

All living and nonliving things are composed of

Atoms

Covalent bond

Strongest bonds where atoms share electrons

Ionic bond

Oppositely charged atoms are attracted to one another (+and-)

Water is

Cohesive and adhesive

High specific heat

Can absorb lot of heat energy

High heat of vaporization

Must absorb large amount of heat before it turns to a vapor

Capillary

Water can "climb" inside a tube with a very small diameter

Proteins

Organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms

Proteins are the construction materials for body parts like

Hair,skin,Nails,and blood

Amino acids

Building blocks (monomers ) of proteins

Enzymes

Proteins that help control chemical reactions by acting as catalysts
