Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons; protons are positive, neutrons are neutral, and electrons are negative.

Electrons participate in chemical reactions by forming bonds between atoms.

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons responsible for chemical bonding and reactivity.

Water is polar because it has a partial positive charge on one side and a partial negative charge on the other.

The cell is considered the functional unit of life because it is the smallest structure that can perform all life processes.

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing small amounts of ATP.

The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondria and processes acetyl-CoA to produce ATP and electron carriers.

DNA is a double-stranded molecule made of nucleotides, which include a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous bases.

The purpose of mitosis is to divide a cell's nucleus and genetic material to produce two identical daughter cells.

Translation is the process in which ribosomes synthesize proteins using mRNA as a template.
