REVIEW
All the non-living matter in an
environment.Abiotic
BioticAll the living matter in
an environment.
Amino acid sequenceThe order of
amino acids in a protein or
peptide chain.
The primary structure
determines the protein type
Protein
An organic compound that is made of one or more chains of amino acids.
Is a principal component of all cells
Protein
Each bead is a small amino acid. The amino
acids join to make different proteins.
Proteins are sometimes described as long necklaces with different colored beads.
Antoine Lavoisier
French chemist know as the father
of modern chemistry
AcceleratorA substance that speeds up a chemical reaction
AcceleratorWhen you push on the car accelerator the car goes faster.

Albert Einstein
(March 14, 1879 - April 18, 1955)A theoretical physicist, born in Germany, who is widely regarded as the greatest
scientist of the 20th century. He proposed the theory of relativity and also made
major contributions to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical
mechanics, and cosmology.
Albert Einstein
His famous equation that the energy of a body at rest (E)
equals its mass (m) times the speed of light (c) squared:
Atomic bombIts violent explosive power is due to the sudden release of energy.
The energy is a result from splitting the nuclei of elements by
neutrons in a very rapid chain reaction
Atomic bomb
John Dalton
English chemist and physicist who formulated atomic theory and the law
of partial pressures
Atomic theory
A theory that states that all matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms
Atomic configuration
The arrangement of atoms or groups in a molecule
Atomic massThe average mass of all
the known isotopes of an element
Atomic numberThe number of protons that an atom contains
ElectronA subatomic particle in an atom that is negatively charged and
occupies an energy level outside the nucleus
ProtonPositively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom. Has
a positive charge.
Neutron A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It has
no charge = Neutral.
Periodic Table of the Elements
Alfred Wegener
German meteorologist and geophysicist who formulated
the first complete statement of the continental drift hypothesis
Plate tectonicsTheory that Earth’s crust and upper mantle are broken into plates that float and move around on a plastic like layer of the mantle
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit
German physicist who invented the mercury
thermometer and developed the scale of temperature that bears
his name
Fahrenheit
A scale used to measure temperature
Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit
Big Bang theoryThe theory that the universe
originated from the cataclysmic explosion of a small volume of
matter at extremely high density and temperature.
