The study of chemical processes inside and between biological cells.

The science of chemical processes in living things.

Anything that is alive.

The basic building block of living organisms.

The various chemical reactions happening within or between cells.

Inorganic ions are small, charged particles that are essential for cell function and make up less than 1% of a cell's mass.

Sodium is a positively charged ion that plays a key role in nerve impulses and muscle contractions.

Potassium is a positively charged ion involved in nerve impulses and maintaining the proper balance of fluids in cells.

Calcium is a positively charged ion that strengthens bones and teeth, helps muscles contract, and plays a role in blood clotting.

Phosphate is a negatively charged ion that forms the backbone of DNA and is important in energy storage.

Molecules containing carbon as their primary structural component, typically found in living organisms.

The branch of chemistry focused on the study of carbon compounds, particularly those found in living organisms.

Carbon's ability to form four stable bonds with other atoms, including itself, allows for the creation of complex and diverse molecules essential for life.

Carbon can form four covalent bonds with other atoms, including itself, allowing for the formation of long chains, branched structures, and rings, leading to diverse molecules.

Organic molecules make up the majority of cellular components, including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, which are critical for various biological processes.

Carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost energy level (the second orbit), making it capable of forming 4 covalent bonds.

A type of chemical bond where two atoms share electrons to achieve a stable outer shell.

Carbon's ability to form up to four covalent bonds allows it to create complex and diverse molecules essential for life.

Carbon can bond with other carbon atoms and a wide range of other elements, forming long chains and complex structures.

Because of its unique ability to form four covalent bonds, carbon is the foundation of all organic molecules, which are the building blocks of life.

Simple sugars that consist of a single sugar molecule (monomer).

The general formula for monosaccharides is (CH2O)n, where 'n' represents the number of carbon atoms in the molecule.

A monosaccharide found in sports drinks. It's a key energy source for the body.

A monosaccharide found in fruits. It's known as 'fruit sugar'.

A monosaccharide called 'milk sugar'. It's found in dairy products.

A complex carbohydrate made up of many sugar monomers (simple sugars) linked together.

A large molecule made up of repeating smaller units called monomers. Polysaccharides are polymers.

Examples include starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin. Each serves different functions in living organisms.

They are formed by the joining of many monosaccharides through a process called dehydration synthesis, where a water molecule is removed.
