PART I: Qs #1-15. Who Am I? Choose among these terms to answer the riddles that follow (use each only once, enter the letter in front of the term):

A) activation energy E) endothermic I) ion M) protein
B) bond energy F) enzyme J) molecule N) solution
C) carbohydrate G) fatty acid K) nucleic acid O) substrate
D) compound H) hydrogen bond L) pH
1

#1 Who Am I? I am a chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than I release; my products have a higher bond energy than my reactants.

1

#2 Who Am I? I am an attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen.

1

#3 Who Am I? I am the type of molecule that stores genetic information in living things. I include DNA and RNA.

A) activation energy E) endothermic I) ion M) protein
B) bond energy F) enzyme J) molecule N) solution
C) carbohydrate G) fatty acid K) nucleic acid O) substrate
D) compound H) hydrogen bond L) pH
1

#4 Who Am I? I am the amount of energy needed to break a chemical bond; I am also the amount of energy released when a bond forms.

1

#5 Who Am I? I am a certain type of mixture; I am formed when one substance, such as water, dissolves other substances.

1

#6 Who Am I? I allow chemical reactions to take place under the tightly controlled conditions in living things; in almost all cases I am a protein.

A) activation energy E) endothermic I) ion M) protein
B) bond energy F) enzyme J) molecule N) solution
C) carbohydrate G) fatty acid K) nucleic acid O) substrate
D) compound H) hydrogen bond L) pH
1

#7 Who Am I? Chemical bonds hold me together; I always contain atoms of more than one element.

1

#8 Who Am I? I am a carbon chain found in many lipids; I can be either saturated or unsaturated.

1

#9 Who Am I? I have a positive charge if I lose an electron, or I have a negative charge if I gain an electron.

A) activation energy E) endothermic I) ion M) protein
B) bond energy F) enzyme J) molecule N) solution
C) carbohydrate G) fatty acid K) nucleic acid O) substrate
D) compound H) hydrogen bond L) pH
1

#10 Who Am I? I am a reactant an enzyme acts on; I bind to an enzyme's active site.

1

#11 Who Am I? Many different types of me have many different functions in living things; I am made of amino acids.

1

#12 Who Am I? I measure the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution; when I am low a solution is very acidic.

A) activation energy E) endothermic I) ion M) protein
B) bond energy F) enzyme J) molecule N) solution
C) carbohydrate G) fatty acid K) nucleic acid O) substrate
D) compound H) hydrogen bond L) pH
1

#13 Who Am I? I am the amount of energy that is needed for a chemical reaction to start; after I am added, the reaction can take place on its own.

1

#14 Who Am I? I am held together by covalent bonds; I can be made of atoms of just one element.

1

#15 Who Am I? Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are my building blocks; sometimes I am broken down as a source of energy, and sometimes I make up plant cell walls.

These Wall-O-Water plastic containers mimic nature. They are filled with water and the water absorbs heat energy from the sun during daylight hours and then releases that energy slowly during the night keeping the plants inside protected from early spring freezes. The vocabulary words this describes is the "high specific heat capacity of water".
