| Carbon | This is an element in the periodic table that is the basis for all organic molecules. |
| Carbon Cycle | These are the components of the reservoirs of carbon that are exchanged in our environment. |
| Catalyst | This is a species which speeds up chemical reactions |
| Cell Membrane | A thin |
| Cellular Respiration | This is the process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen. |
| Chemical Energy | Energy stored in chemical bonds of molecules. |
| Compound | This is two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio. |
| Dehydration Synthesis | This is a type of chemical reaction that involves the loss of water from the reacting molecules. In biological systems |
| DNA | This holds an organisms hereditary information. |
| Energy Transformation | This is the process of changing energy from one form to another. Solar energy is changed into chemical energy by plants. |
| Enzyme | These are complex proteins that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the amount of energy needed to get the reaction started. |
| Evidence | This is data from an experiment |
| Fatty Acid | This is an organic substance made of the elements C |
| Glucose | This is a simple sugar that provides energy to organisms |
| Hormone | This is a chemical substance made by glands in the endocrine system that travel through the bloodstream and affects cells and tissues throughout the body. |
| Hydrocarbon | This is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon. |
| Hydrogen | This is the first element in the periodic table |
| Lipid | A macromolecule made up of mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms that is primarily used for energy storage and in cell membranes. |
| Macromolecule | This is a molecule with a large molecular mass. Many examples come from biology and in particular biochemistry. |
| Molecular Formula | This is the number of atoms of each element contained in a covalent compound. |
| Molecule | This is a compound made from a group of covalently bonded atoms. |
| Monosaccharide | This is the simplest type of carbohydrate |
| Nitrogen | An element that the main component of atmospheric air and plays an important role in any ecosystem: this is needed by all organisms to form proteins |
| Nitrogenous Base | This is the only part of a DNA/RNA nucleotide that changes. It is found along with the 5-carbon sugar and the phosphate group. |
| Nucleic Acid | This is a macromolecule that holds cell information in a coded form. Made of sugar |
| Nucleotide | This is the repeating structural unit that forms RNA and DNA. |
| Organic | A compound containing carbon produced by a living thing. |
| Oxygen | This is formed as a waste product in photosynthesis and used as a reactant in respiration. |
| Peptide | This is another name of a protein. It is formed by the joining of two or more amino acids together. |
| Phospholipid | This is found in cell membranes and help protect the cell or organelles by allowing/not allowing molecules to enter. |
| Polymer | This is a large |
| Polysaccharide | This is a complex carbohydrate made from many different sugar molecules joined together. |
| Protein | A macromolecule that contains carbon |
| Protein Synthesis | This is a two-part process that ends in the assembly of proteins at the ribosomes within cells. The first part |
| RNA | A single stranded nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis. |
| Scientific Method | A process used to gather evidence and lead to understanding. |
