all living things are composed of cells
cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things
all cells are produced from other cells
DNA & RNA are examples of
nucleic acid/chromotin
Lipid
are energy rich organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen
Protein
are large organic molecules made of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen & phosphorous (nucleic acids and amino acids)
Nucleic Acids!
are very long organic molecules made of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorous (proteins and amino acids)
carbohydrate
an energy-rich organic compound made of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
Enzyme!
is a type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing
Diffusion
the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration (experiment - egg & sugar)
