4. what are the requirements of life?: water
food
heat
pressure
oxygen
5. define homeostasis: maintaining of a stable enviroment
6. what is a homeostatic mechanism: monitors aspects of internal environment and corrects
as needed
*negative feedback mechanism

8. element: composed of chemically identical atoms
9. atom: smallest particle of atom, basic unit of matter
10. what are structure of an atom:
nucleus protons
neutron electrons
11. define nucleus, proton, electron, neutron: nucleus- central part of atom
proton- positive charge
electron- negative charge
neutron- no electrical charge
12. ionic bond: formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another
13. what are covalent bonds: when two molecules share electron
14. hydrogen bond: formed between water molecule, attraction between positive end of polar
molecule and negative end of another polar molecule
15. define synthesis, decomposition, and exchange reactions:
Synthesis- A+B=AB Decomposition- AB=A+B
exchange- AB+CD=AD+BC
16. define reactant: starting materials of reactions
17. product: ending material
18. define catalyst: a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction
19. what is an acid: dissociates with water
