- Facilitated Diffusion - glucose and amino acids pass through membrane with aid of enzymes from H to L concentration
- Fatty Acids and Glycerol -monomers of lipids
- High Heat Capacity - water becomes an insulator
- Hydrogen Bonding - bond between hydrogen atom and oxygen atom
- Hyper-tonic solution - higher amount of solute than solvent
- Hypo-tonic solution - lower amount of solute than solvent
- Ionic bond - attraction between two oppositely charged atoms
- Isotonic - equal amounts of solute and solvent
- Lipids - secondary source of energy, provides insulation
