Atom
Formed when electrons are transferred From one atom to another creating ions
Ionic bond
Formed when atoms share electrons unequally
Polar covalent bond
Formed when atoms share electrons equally
Non-polar covalent bonds
Weak bonds that occur when a hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted to an electronegative atom in another molecule
Hydrogen bonds
What is an ion
A charged particle
Positively charged ion because it has more protons
Cation
Negatively charged ion because it has more electrons
Anion
Provides energy and structural support (e.g. Glucose)
Carbohydrate
Stores energy to make cell membrane
Lipids
Performs a variety of functions. Including catalyzing reactions and supporting cellular structure (eg enzymes, hemoglobin)
Proteins
Stores and transmits genetic information leg. DNA, RNA)
Nucleic acid
