  • Carbohydrates

    Carbohydrates are biomolecules that provide energy and structural support in cells.

  • Lipids

    Lipids store energy, make up cell membranes, and act as signaling molecules.

  • Proteins

    Proteins perform diverse functions including enzymatic activity, structural support, and transport.

  • Nucleic Acids

    Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information in cells.

  • Epithelial Tissue

    Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines cavities, providing protection and absorption.

  • Connective Tissue

    Connective tissue supports, connects, and binds other tissues and organs.

  • Muscle Tissue

    Muscle tissue enables movement through contraction.

  • Nervous Tissue

    Nervous tissue transmits electrical signals for communication and control.

  • Ionic Bond

    Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between atoms, creating charged ions that attract.

  • Covalent Bond

    Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons to fill their outer shells.

  • Polar Covalent Bond

    Polar covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared unequally, causing partial charges.

  • Hydrogen Bond

    Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom, important in water and biomolecules.

  • Atom

    The basic unit of an element makes up mater small

  • Molecule

    Two or more atom or molecule with a net electrical charge

  • Ion

    An atom or molecule with a net electrical charge

  • Polar

    Has an uneven distribution of electrical charge

  • Non Polar

    Has a more even distribution of electrical charge

  • Solute

    A substance that is dissolved

  • Solvent

    The substance that dissolves the solute
