Photosynthesis: the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
Chloroplast: a cell organelle that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. Eukaryotic: An organism whose cells contain a nucleus surrounded by a membrane and whose DNA is bound together by proteins Prokaryotic: a unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus Oxidize: combine or become combined chemically with oxygen. Cellular respiration: The chemical process that generates most of the energy in the cell, supplying molecules needed to make the metabolic reactions Mitochondria: an organelle found in most cells; where cellular respiration and energy production occur. Food pyramid: a nutritional diagram in the shape of a pyramid Carbohydrate: a nutrient that provides energy, typically made of sugars or starches Protein: a nutrient that is especially for the growth and repair of body tissue; building blocks Lipids (fat): The body uses fat as a fuel source, and fat is the major storage form of energy in the body. Consumption: the using up of a resource, often used in the context of eating Food: any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink, or that plants absorb, in order to maintain life and growth. Glucose: a simple carbohydrate (sugar) that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates ATP: Adenosine triphosphate; a compound that releases energy during the process of cellular respiration Basal Metabolic Rate: the rate at which the body uses energy while at rest to keep vital functions going, such as breathing and keeping warm Calories: a unit used in measuring the amount of energy food provides when eaten and digested: Metabolism: the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life Circulatory System: the body system that circulates blood through the body, consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood

Bioremediation Biotechnology Cloning Genetic Engineering Genetic Modification Mutagen Regeneration Stem Cells Antibiotic: a group of medicines used to kill or slow the growth of bacteria that cause disease.
Antibody: a chemical substance made by the body to help destroy an invading pathogen. Antimicrobial: a substance that is designed to kill microbes before they enter the body. Bacteria: microscopic living organisms, usually one-celled, that can be dangerous (cause infection) or beneficial (such as in fermentation and in decomposition). Carrier: a person or organism with a disease that they can pass on to other organisms. Disease: any change that disrupts the normal function of one or more body systems. Epidemic: a disease that spreads across a large population of people, normally in a regional area. Fungi: any member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. Infectious disease: any disease that is caused by a pathogen. Microbe: any organism or near life form that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Noninfectious disease: a disease that cannot be spread from one organism to another. Pandemic: an epidemic that spreads more globally affecting a large geographical area. Parasite: an organism that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense. Pathogen: a microbe that causes disease in an organism. Vaccine: a preventive shot to yield immunity against a specific disease, usually employing a form of the disease agent in a weakened bacteria or viruses, to stimulate antibody production. Vector: an animal that carries and transmits a disease. Virus: A microbe that consists of nucleic acid enclosed within a protein shell that requires a living cell in order to reproduce, but is not alive itself. Chemical Reaction

Physical Change Appearance Exothermic -chemical reaction giving off heat. (we haven't covered this yet) Endothermic - chemical reaction absorbing or taking in heat. (we haven't covered this yet) Reactant Product Reaction Solution Precipitate Law of Conservation of MassCatalyst Metal- a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity
Metalloid- an element (e.g., germanium or silicon) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals. They are electrical semiconductors. Nonmetal- a chemical element (as boron, carbon, or nitrogen) that lacks the characteristics of a metal and that is able to form anions, acidic oxides, acids, and stable compounds with hydrogen. Chemical Properties - things you can not see - like solubility, Physical Properties - an attribute you can see; appearance Reactivity - degree to which something reacts Solubility - ability to go into solution (a chemical property) Density - how close particles are; compactness; mass per unit volume Boiling Point - temperature that a liquid changes to a gas Melting Point - temperature that a solid changes to a liquid Periodic Table Family - groups or columns on PT that have similar chemical properties Bohr Model - depicts or shows the electron configuration (number and location of electrons) Valence electrons- number of electrons on the outermost ring malleable - pliable or shapeable ductile - can be pounded into a thin wire Subatomic Particles- a particle smaller than an atom Protons- a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge Electrons- subatomic particle with a negative charge located in the electron cloud Neutrons- A particle in the nucleus of an atom that has no charge. Atomic mass - The number of both protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Atomic number- The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. |
