Elements and Atoms• Matter is anything that has mass and takes up
space.• Atoms are the basic building blocks of all
matter.• Elements are basic substances that cannot be
broken down into other substances.• Molecules are formed by the joining of atoms
of two or more elements. (smallest combination that cannot be divided without changing its chemical and physical properties)
• Compounds are composed of atoms of different elements chemically combined.

Atoms
• Atom consists of three subatomic particles called:
Protons: positive chargeNeutrons: neutral/no chargeElectrons: negative charge
• The center of an atom is called the nucleus which consists of protons and neutrons.

Cells work on a chemical level
There are four main types of molecules that a cell uses on a regular basis:
• Carbohydrates• Lipids
• Proteins• Nucleic Acids

Organic Substances/components
• Carbohydrates: made up of simple sugars• Proteins: made up of amino acids • Lipids: made up of a glycerol and at least
1 fatty acid• Nucleic Acids: made up of nucleotides
Organic Substances – contain Carbon and Hydrogen

A monomer is a molecule that is able to bond in long chains.Here is a monomer:
Here is a polymer:
Organic substances are made of units calledmonomers or polymers.

Enzymes
• Enzymes are proteins that are used by the cell to speed up and regulate metabolic reactions.
• Enzymes are biological catalysts that remain unchanged by the reaction.

Enzymes
The substrate is temporarily bound to its enzyme at the active site. The enzyme may change shape slightly to accommodate the substrate.
