1
New cards

Hydrogen Bond

Weak attraction between a hydrogen atom and another electronegative atom (like O or N).

2
New cards

Polarity

Unequal sharing of electrons → one side slightly negative, one slightly positive.

3
New cards

Cohesion

Water molecules stick to each other.

4
New cards

Adhesion

Water molecules stick to other surfaces.

5
New cards

Dehydration Synthesis

Reaction that builds polymers by removing water.

6
New cards

Hydrolysis

Reaction that breaks polymers apart by adding water.

7
New cards

Monomer

Small building-block molecule.

8
New cards

Polymer

Large molecule made of repeating monomers.

9
New cards

Enzyme

Protein that speeds up reactions by lowering activation energy.

10
New cards

Denaturation

Loss of protein shape → loss of function
