| Question | Answer |
| Chemical Reaction | A process in which bonds between atoms are broken and new bonds form to make different molecules |
| Carbohydrates | A large molecule that provides the cell with energy and are used for structure and energy storage; An example of a carbohydrate is a starchy vegetable you may eat starchy vegetables such as corn or potatoes;Role=To supply energy |
| Lipids | Are fats, oils, and waxes found in living things;an example of lipids are nuts, they contain saturated fats and are easy to digest;Role=Depends on type of liquid |
| proteins | A large molecule made of amino acids;An example of a high protein food that you possibly have had for breakfast is bacon;Role=They build structures, and are the regulation of the body's tissue and organs, so basically, it works to keep the cell functioning |
| Nucleic acids | The molecules that hold the instructions for the maintenance, growth, and reproduction;An example is DNA;Role=carries information |
| Chemical Energy | the energy stored in the bonds between atoms of every molecule |
| Glucose | A major energy source for most cells is stored in this sugar molecule |
| Photosynthesis | The process that plant cells use to change energy from sunlight into chemical energy. |
| Chlorophyll | A light-absorbed pigment, or colored substance, that traps the energy in sunlight |
| Cellular respiration | When cells use oxygen to release energy stored in sugars such as glucose |
| Fermentation | is the process by which cells release energy without oxygen |
| Diffusion | the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas where there are many of them to areas where there are fewer of them |
| passive transport | When materials move without using the cells energy |
| osmosis | the diffusion of water through a membrane |
| active transport | the process of using energy to move materials through a membrane |
