7. A substance that is dissolved in a solution
9. A word to describe all the chemical reactions acting out within cells and living organisms
13. aka. water hating
14. Pressure created by other water molecules, the measure of the extent to which a solution gives out water
17. Reaction that involved the breaking down of larger molecules into smaller ones.
18. aka. Water loving
19. A molecule that has a positive charge in one part of it, while the other one has a negative charge
