Mazzarella
An attraction between molecules of the same substance
Water sticking to itself (like co-workers)
Cohesion
The water molecules attract to other substances.
They adhere to things like weak glue
Adhesion
A mixture where all components are equally distributed.
Like salt water because it has two different substances in it

Substance being dissolved
The salt in salt water
Solute ☺️
Substance in which the solute dissolves
The water in salt water
Solvent
Does not have C and H and is not living
Like water
Inorganic
Contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. (CHON)
DNA
Organic
Contains natural sugars
Rice, bread, apples, glucose
Carbohydrate/monosaccharide/simple sugar
The sub units are glycerol and 3 fatty acids
Fats, oil, earwax
Lipids
Subunits are amino acids
Meat nuts enzymes
Proteins
Subunits are nucleotides (bases)
DNA
Nucleic acids
Increases the rate of reaction
Enzymes
Catalyst
An organic catalyst mad of proteins.
Lowers the activation energy of chemical reactions/ lowers the amount of energy you may need.
Glucose
Enzyme
The pockets in an enzyme where the substrate fits
Hydrogen bonding
Active site
