  1. 3. it is a measure to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a solution or a substance
  2. 4. water-soluble compound that reacts with acid
  3. 5. a chemical substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction
  4. 6. A type of homogenous mixture in which the particles of one or more substances (the solute) are distributed uniformly throughout another substance (the solvent)
  5. 7. A sugar (carbohydrate) composed of two monosaccharides, thus yields two monosaccharide molecules on complete hydrolysis
  6. 8. ACID Any of the group of a long chain of hydrocarbon derived from the breakdown of fats (through a process called hydrolysis). It has a single carboxylic group andaliphatic tail.
  7. 10. (usually water molecules) through a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
  8. 13. Any of a class of carbohydrates formed by repeating units linked together by glycosidic bonds
  9. 17. The basic building block of nucleic acids, It is an organic compound made up of nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group
  10. 19. An extremely small particle or substance, especially at cellular or structural leve
  11. 20. the act or state of adhering; state of being adhered or united
  12. 21. ACID Any of the group of complex compounds consisting of linear chains of monomeric nucleotides whereby each monomeric unit is composed of phosphoric acid, sugar and nitrogenous base,
  13. 25. The act, state or process of sticking together
  14. 26. An energy-rich compound made up of a single molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acid, and serves as a major component of animal and plant oils and fats
  15. 28. molecules that catalyze (i.e., increase the rates of) chemical reactions
  16. 30. A substance consisting of atoms or ions of two or more elements that are chemically bonded together
  17. 32. The presence of or having distinct and opposite poles
  18. 34. A liquid in which substances (or solutes) are dissolved forming a solution
