  1. 1. is the amount of energy required to push a reactant to the level necessary for action
  2. 4. anything that occupies space and has mass.
  3. 7. Non-symmetrical molecules that contain electrically unbalanced atoms.
  4. 9. Energy The energy directly involved in moving matter; e.g., in bicycle riding, the legs provide the mechanical energy that moves the pedals.
  5. 11. Different atomic forms of the same element, which vary only in the number of neutrons they contain; the heavier species tend to be radioactive.
  6. 13. bond An energy relationship holding atoms together; involves the interaction of electrons.
  7. 15. A substance that releases hydrogen ions when in solution; a proton donor.
  8. 21. Organic molecule that stores and releases chemical energy for use in body cells.
  9. 23. Isotope that exhibits radioactive behaviour.
  10. 25. stored energy, that is, inactive energy that has the potential, or capability, to do work but is not presently doing so.
  11. 26. A protein that acts as a biological catalyst to speed up a chemical reaction.
  12. 27. composition is dissimilar in different areas of the mixture.
  13. 28. the study of the chemical composition and reactions of living matter.
  14. 31. Organic compound composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen; types include enzymes, structural components.
  15. 32. are substances composed of two or more components physically intermixed.
  16. 34. Organic compound containing nitrogen, car bon, hydrogen, and oxygen; building block of protein.
  17. 36. a nucleic acid found in all living cells; it carries the organism’s hereditary information.
  18. 40. A substance of high molecular weight with long, chain-like molecules consisting of many similar (repeated) units.
  19. 41. Class of organic molecules that includes DNA and RNA.
  20. 42. Nucleic acid that contains ribose and the bases A, G, C, and U. Carries out DNA’s instructions for protein synthesis.
  21. 43. Control centre of a cell that contains genetic material and clusters of nerve cell bodies in the CN.
  22. 44. the substance present in the greatest amount
  23. 45. Process in which molecules are formed, changed, or broken down.
  24. 47. Process that occurs before cell division; ensures that all daughter cells have identical genes.
  25. 50. Regions of space that consecutively surround the nucleus of an atom.
  26. 51. A chemical reaction in which larger, more complex atoms or molecules are formed from simpler ones.
