A group of individuals that belong to the same
Population
species and live in the same area
A group of similar cells that perform the same
Tissue
function.
The diverse ways in which scientists study the natural
Scientific Inquiry world and propose explanations based on evidence
they gather.
Atom Basic unit of matter
Covalent bonds Bonds created by sharing electrons with other atoms.
An attraction between two atoms resulting from a
sharing of outer-shell electrons or the presence of
Chemical Bonds
opposite charges on the atoms. The bonded atoms
gain complete outer electron shells.
A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical
Electronegativity
compound to attract electrons
Electron A subatomic particle that has a negative charge
Very weak bonds; occurs when a hydrogen atom in
Hydrogen Bonds one molecule is attracted to the electrostatic atom in
another molecule
Formed when one or more electrons are transferred
Ionic bonds
from one atom to another
A subatomic particle that has no charge and that is
Neutron
found in the nucleus of an atom
A subatomic particle that has a positive charge and
Proton
that is found in the nucleus of an atom
An attraction between molecules of different
Adhesion
substances. Sticks to others!
Attraction between molecules of the same substance.
Cohesion
Sticks to itself!
Hydrophilic Attracted to water

Enzymes Catalysts for chemical reactions in living things
Fats lipids that are solid at room temperature
the form of sugar that circulates in the blood and
Glucose provides the major source of energy for body tissues.
When its level is low, we feel hunger.
Inorganic molecules Compounds that do not contain carbon
Energy-rich organic compounds, such as fats, oils,
Lipids and waxes, that are made of carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen.
A simple compound whose molecules can join
Monomer
together to form polymers
Monosaccharides glucose, fructose, galactose
Oils lipids that are liquid at room temperature
Organic Molecules carbon-based molecules
A molecule that is a constituent of the inner bilayer of
Phospholipids biological membranes, having a polar, hydrophilic
head and a nonpolar, hydrophobic tail.
