S - Z Flashcards
Organic molecules with single bonded carbons
Saturated
Common mixture. Contains a solute dissolved in a solvent
Solution
A large amount of liquid or gas in which particles are dissovled
Solvent
A measurement of the energy/heat needed to raise the temperature by a given amount (1°C)
Specific heat capacity e.g. helps the body maintain constant temperature
Liquid to gas
Sublimation
The inward force of water molecules due to h-bonds and polarity
Surface tension
A gene in one strand of DNA is copied by mRNA. Carries instructions for protein production to ribosome
Transcription
The process where a mRNA strand is read and translated into the amino acid sequence for protein synthesis by a ribosome
Translation
Most common lipid, made of one glycerol and 3 fatty acids
Triglyceride
An organic molecule with double or triple bonded carbons
Unsaturated
