Bonding:

  • Covalent: When atoms share electrons
  • Ionic: Opposite charges attract
  • Hydrogen: In polar molecules the negative region of one molecule attracts to the positive region of another

Polymerisation:

  • Linked to form polymers
  • Monosaccharides to polysaccharides
  • Peptides to polypeptides

Condensation:

  • Joining of molecules, producing water

Hydrolysis:

  • Breakdown of molecules using water

Metabolism:

  • All the chemical processes that take place in living organisms

Mole and Molar solutions:

  • Mole is the SI unit for measuring the amount of a substance
