25
How an ionic bond is formed?
Forms through the electrical force between oppositely charged ions.
26
When two ions of different charges become close to the other and they are bonded together because of their charges.
Ionic bond
27
What name receives the compound of two ions through and ionic bond?
Ionic compound
28
Is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons.
Ion
29
When a covalent bond is formed?
When two atoms are sharing a pair of electrons.
30
Two or more atoms holded together by covalent bonds.
Molecules.
31
Is an attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen ion and a slightly negative atom.
Hydrogen bond
32
The attraction among molecules of a subtance.
Cohesion
33
The attraction among molecules of different subtances.
Adhesion
34
Is a mixture of substances that is the same through- out—it is a homogeneous mixture.
Solution
35
Is the substance that is present in the greater amount and that dissolves another substance.
Solvent
36
Is a substance that dissolves in a solvent.
Solute
37
Is a compound that releases a proton—a hydrogen ion (H + )—when it dissolves in water.
Acid
38
Are compounds that remove H + ions from a solution.
Bases
39
What is ph?
Power Hydrogen.
40
For what is the ph scale?
To measure how much acidic or basic a subtance is in relation with its concentration of protons or positive hydrogen ions in the subtance.
41
In the ph scale from where to where is more acidic and more basic and where is neutral?
To the left more acidic so are the numbers 6-1 and to the right more basic 8-14 and in the middle 7 neutral.
42
Each subunit in the complete molecule.
Monomer
43
Is a large molecule, or macromolecule, made of many monomers bonded together.
Polymer
44
Are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and they include sugars and starches.
Carbohydrates
45
Are nonpolar molecules that includes fats, oils, and cholesterol.
Lipids
46
Are chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms.
Fatty acids
47
Is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.
Proteins
48
Are molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur.
Amino acids
49
Are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides.

Proposed that all cells come from other cells. 1855
64
What differences are between an eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell?
The eukaryotic cell have a nucleus and the prokaryotic cell no so it have its DNA in its citoplasm.
65
What theory is say of the eukaryotic cells?
That they come from the prokaryotic cells.
