metal/nonmetal - CORRECT ANSWER-Metals on the LEFT, Non-metals on the RIGHT
of the magical staircase
covalent bond - CORRECT ANSWER-a chemical bond where atoms share an electron.
Happens between two ore more Non-metal atoms.
ionic compound - CORRECT ANSWER-Ions stuck together. Happens between a metal
and a non-metal.
ionic bond - CORRECT ANSWER-An atom with high electronegativity takes an electron
from an atom with low electronegativity and they stick together.
hydrocarbon - CORRECT ANSWER-An organic molecule consisting mostly of carbon
and hydrogen. For example, methane, propane, butane etc.
organic compound - CORRECT ANSWER-compound made mostly with carbon
inorganic compound - CORRECT ANSWER-A compound that does not contain carbon.
polar/non polar molecule - CORRECT ANSWER-polar- electronegative difference
between bonded atoms
nonpolar- electrons are shared equal between atoms
molecular weight/formula weight/molar mass - CORRECT ANSWER-How many grams
one mole of the stuff weighs
solute/solvent/solution - CORRECT ANSWER-solution- when one substance dissolves
into another
solute- substance being dissolved
solvent- substance doing the dissolving

molarity/molar/M - CORRECT ANSWER-How many moles of solute there are in one
liter of solution
macromolecule - CORRECT ANSWER-very large molecule, such as a protein or
polymer, composed of thousands of covalently bonded atoms
biomolecule - CORRECT ANSWER-four major types- carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic
acids, and proteins
Ribosome - CORRECT ANSWER-During Translation, ribosomes (made of folded RNA)
link amino acids together in the order specified by the messenger RNA molecules.
Forms polypeptide chains
tRNA (transfer RNA) - CORRECT ANSWER-During Translation,tRNA molecules bring
amino acids to the ribosome.
mRNA (messenger RNA) - CORRECT ANSWER-The form of RNA which is created as
a blueprint from DNA; carries instructions for making a protein from DNA to ribosomes.
amino acid - CORRECT ANSWER-Building blocks/ monomer units of proteins. 20
kinds. Each has unique electrical properties.
translation - CORRECT ANSWER-The Process That Uses Messenger RNA
(mRNA)information to build a protein
Hormone - CORRECT ANSWER-A chemical message released into the blood that tells
certain cells to do certain things
polypeptide - CORRECT ANSWER-A polymer (chain) of many amino acids linked
together by peptide bonds.
translation - CORRECT ANSWER-Process of converting mRNA into the protein
sequence.
ribosome - CORRECT ANSWER-produces proteins from amino acids during protein
synthesis/ translation.
Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic - CORRECT ANSWER-Hydrophilic- Water loving/polar
molecules
Hydrophobic- Water hating/non-polar molecules
nucleic acids - CORRECT ANSWER-A polymer made up of nucleotides. Ex: DNA,
mRNA, tRNA
protein - CORRECT ANSWER-A folded polymer made up of amino acids. It's shape
determines its function.
