Organic & Inorganic Chemistry

Question 1

Osmosis

Answer 1

A process that involves the movement of solvent molecules. This passage takes place across the semi-permeable membrane of a cell

Question 2

Innermost Electron Shell of an Atom

Answer 2

This level of the electron shell contains the electrons closest to the nucleus.

Question 3

Protein

Answer 3

A kind of biological molecule formed from amino acids. These molecules use peptide bonds to stay together

Question 4

Proton

Answer 4

A positively charged subatomic particle

Question 5

Enzymes

Answer 5

This important kind of protein is responsible for facilitating chemical reactions in our bodies

Question 6

Atoms

Answer 6

The basic unit of matter that makes up everything around us

Question 7

Hypertonic Solution

Answer 7

A kind of solution that is defined against another solution. This solution will have a higher concentration of a specific solution than another solution.

Question 8

Hypotonic Solution

Answer 8

Solutions of this sort contain concentrations of a solute that are lower than the concentrations found in other solutions

Question 9

Atomic Number

Answer 9

A number determined by the amount of protons contained within the nucleus of an atom

Question 10

Unsatured Solution

Answer 10

This term refers to any solution that can hold more of a particular solute.

Question 11

Neutron

Answer 11

These subatomic particles have a neutral charge and are generally found in an atom’s atomic nucleus

Question 12

Electron

Answer 12

This subatomic particle has a negative charge and very little mass

Question 13

Lipids

Answer 13

These biological molecules are not water soluble and come in two categories, glycerol and steroids

Question 14

Starch

Answer 14

A carbohydrate in the form of complex sugars that humans can digest, though it may take a while

Question 15

Cellulose

Answer 15

This is also known as dietary fiber and it is basically the structural material we find within plants

Question 16

Saturated solution

Answer 16

This occurs when a solvent can no longer dissolve any more of the solute

Question 17

Triglycerides

Answer 17

A kind of lipid that contains a glycerol and three fatty acids

Question 18

Organic Chemistry

Answer 18

In the past, this branch of chemistry focused on studying molecules that were found in things that were alive or had once been alive. Now it focuses on any molecule containing carbon.

Question 19

Monosaccharides

Answer 19

This term refers to sugars that exist as single units

Question 20

Supersaturated Solution

Answer 20

A solution that holds more solute than should be held by a saturated solution.

Question 21

Heterotroph

Answer 21

This term refers to organisms that must eat other organisms in order to gain sustenance

Question 22

Chemical Bond

Answer 22

A type of bond that occurs between at least two atoms that are oppositely charged

Question 23

Electron Cloud

Answer 23

Electrons exist in this area inside of an atom

Question 24

Trisaccharide

Answer 24

This large sugar would contain three smaller monosaccharides

Question 25

Electron Shell

Answer 25

A scientific term that refers to the area that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. This is where electrons are generally located.

Question 26

Valence Electrons

Answer 26

These electrons stay in the outermost shell of their atom. They differ from other electrons in that they directly interact with different atoms.

Question 27

Polymers
