| Question | Answer |
| Energy | The capacity to do work |
| Potential Energy | energy stored by matter due to its position |
| Kinetic Energy | energy associated with MATTER IN MOTION KEMM |
| Chemical Energy | form of potential energy stored in the bonds of compounds, molecules |
| Activation Energy | nrj. required to disrupt the electrons to get the molecules to interact |
| Catalysts | Enzymes that speed up reactions by LOWERING THE ACTIVATION ENERGY |
| Inorganic Compounds | Lack Carbon Are Structurally Simple Include water, salts, acids and bases |
| Organic Compounds | contain carbon, usually hydrogen and are formed by covalent bonds *include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and ATP |
| Monomers | small molecules that join with polymers to build ORGANIC COMPOUNDS |
| Water | * is an inorganic compound *has a HIGH HEAT CAPACITY *HIGH HEAT OF VAPORIZATION POLAR SOLVENT FORMED DURING DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS PROVIDES A CUSHIONING AND LUBRICATING EFFECT |
| Buffer System | minimize changes in pH of solutions by converting strong acids or bases into WEAK acids or bases (Strong to Weak.. Analogy: An illness) |
