Biochem Wordle

Similar to the ecology unit, the biochem unit's vocabulary is also important to the understanding of the unit. Words such as catalysts describes the capacity of speeding up a chemical reaction. Catalysts are used in reactions to speed up the process. Once a catalyst is used in the reaction, it speeds up the process a couple times faster than it's normal rate. In addition, the atom and it's components are also the basic vocabulary of this unit. The atom is a very small particle made of protons, electrons, and neutrons. The protons have a positive charge, the electrons have a negative charge, and the neutrons are neutral. The atom's mass is composed of the neutron and the proton since the electrons are too small to take into consideration. Although, the electrons are small, they can be used to determine many things like what kind of bonds they are capable of having. So knowing these vocabulary words will help you understand what each word means and how it apples to biochemistry.
