Water and Organic Macromolecules

Molecules of the same type that attract to each other are [blank_start]cohesive[blank_end].

Molecules of different types that attract to each other are [blank_start]adhesive[blank_end].

What are Carbohydrates made up of?

What are Lipids made of?

What are Proteins made up of?

What is Nucleic Acid made up of?

The monomer of carbohydrates are [blank_start]monosaccharides[blank_end].

The function of carbohydrates are energy storage and structural support.

What are the carbohydrates that makes up cell walls in plants?

What carbohydrates make up the exoskeleton of insects?

What carbohydrate serves as an energy storage in plants?

What carbohydrate serves as an energy storage in animals?

Isomers have the same formula, but different [blank_start]chemical structure[blank_end]. Glucose, Fructose, and galactose are isomers.

Cohesion produces [blank_start]surface tension[blank_end] so insects can walk on water.

Water is considered the "universal solvent" because it can dissolve so many compounds and provides an [blank_start]aqueous[blank_end] environment for cells so diffusion and metabolic reactions to take place.

What enables water to be transported throughout plants by holding on to each other, even upward against gravity?

What causes water droplets to form on things?

What enables water to be transported throughout plants by holding on to Xylem Tubes, even upward against gravity?

Evaporation causes your body to cool when you sweat because water [blank_start]absorbs heat from your skin[blank_end]. Later it turns to vapor.

What property of water/ice causes fish to live in the winter when lakes and ponds freeze?

What is responsible for transporting oxygen to blood?

What provides structural support in skin, hair, and nails?

What protein lowers activation energy to start chemical reactions more quickly?

What protein is part of the immune system (defense)?

What are the parts of cell membranes that regulate what comes in and out?

There are [blank_start]20[blank_end] Amino Acids that are strung together in the correct order by [blank_start]ribosomes[blank_end]. They are later folded up by the [blank_start]RER[blank_end] and sent to the [blank_start]Golgi bodies[blank_end] for package and shipment.

Lipids are because hydrophilic because they are not soluble/won't dissolve in water.

The function of lipids is to [blank_start]coat[blank_end] things in nature to [blank_start]seal[blank_end] and [blank_start]protect[blank_end] them, [blank_start]long term storage[blank_end], [blank_start]insulating[blank_end] the body, and [blank_start]cushioning[blank_end] body organs.

The function of nucleic acid is to [blank_start]storing[blank_end] the basic instructions or [blank_start]genetic information[blank_end] and [blank_start]creating protein[blank_end].
