Independent Variable

The factor that a scientist changes on purpose to see what happens as a result. (Can be a change in design, material, ect.) AKA- manipulated or responding variable

Electron

a subatomic particle that has a negative charge- in electron cloud ( 1st cloud has 2 electrons max.)

Neutron

a subatomic particle that has no charge- in nucleus

Diatomic Ions

are never found alone and they have unshared ions.

Proteins

Builds structures and tissues

Acid

Compounds that release Hydrogen ions (H+) and has a Ph below 7

Carbohydrates

Provide short term energy

Base

Releases hydroxide ions (OH-) and has a Ph above 7

Lipids

Serve as insulation for the body

Nucleic acids

Store and process genetic info.

Proton

A positively charged subatomic particle- in nucleus

HONC
