    A. Who Am I? Choose among these terms to answer the riddles below:

    activation energy enzyme nucleic acid


    bond energy fatty acid pH
    carbohydrate hydrogen bond protein
    compound ion solution
    endothermic molecule substrate
    1. I am a chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than
    I release; my products have a higher bond energy than
    my reactants. ________________
    2. I am an attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen
    atom and a slightly negative atom, such as oxygen
    or nitrogen. ________________
    3. I am the type of molecule that stores genetic
    information in living things; I include DNA and RNA. ________________
    4. I am the amount of energy needed to break a
    chemical bond; I am also the amount of energy
    released when a bond forms. ________________
    5. I am a certain type of mixture; I am formed when one
    substance, such as water, dissolves other substances. ________________
    6. I allow chemical reactions to take place under the
    tightly controlled conditions in living things; in almost
    all cases I am a protein. ________________

    7. Chemical bonds hold me together; I always


    contain atoms of more than one element. ________________
    8. I am a carbon chain found in many lipids; I can be
    either saturated or unsaturated. ________________
    9. I have a positive charge if I lose an electron, or I have
    a negative charge if I gain an electron. ________________
    10. I am a reactant an enzyme acts on; I bind to an
    enzyme’s active site. ________________
    11. Many different types of me have many different
    functions in living things; I am made of amino acids. ________________
    12. I measure the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution;
    when I am low a solution is very acidic. ________________
    13. 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. ________________
    14. I am held together by covalent bonds; I can be
    made of atoms of just one element. ________________
    15. 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. ________________
    B. Same or Different? Each pair of words could either describe the same thing or
    different things. If they can describe the same thing write “same.” If they cannot
    describe the same thing write “different.”
