Unit 1 - Chapter 2

6. energy-producing reaction in living cells, and it is coupled with a reduction reaction
8. chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life
12. containing a very large number of atoms, such as a protein, nucleic acid, or synthetic polymer
15. Bonds/a special type of dipole-dipole attraction between molecules, not a covalent bond to a hydrogen atom
16. breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water
19. two smaller molecules join to form a larger one by removing functional groups that form a small molecule
20. chemical process of monomers joining to form polymers

1. Interactions, the relations between water and hydrophobes
2. molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer
3. reaction that involves the gaining of electrons by one of the atoms involved in the reaction between two chemicals
4. the branch of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms
5. Bonds/a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
7. not contain carbon and is not produced by a living organism
9. Bonds/chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms
10. substance that has a molecular structure consisting chiefly or entirely of a large number of similar units bonded together
11. Bonds/type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate molecule to another group
13. substance containing carbon-based compounds, especially produced by or derived from living organisms
14. Bonds/carbon bound to three other atoms
17. Bonds/chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule
18. Biology/the field of biology that studies the composition, structure and interactions of cellular molecules
