Function of each organic molecule
Carbohydrates:Body’s main source of energy
protein:Forms parts of cells and regulates cell function
fats:Store energy,insulation,and protection
nucleic acids:The hereditary material found in cells
What organic molecule has an amine group
protein
What organic compound has a carboxyl group
amino acids
What is used to detect starch in a food source and What color does it change to
iodine and black
What is used to detect sugars in a food source and What color does it change to
benedict and orange
What is used to detect protien in a food source and What color does it change to
biuret and purple
What is an organic molecule
a chemical compound that contains carbon
What is an inorganic molecule
a chemical compound that doesn't contain carbon
What is a chemical compound
a substance made up of two or more different chemical elements combined in a fixed ratio
All organic compounds contain the element
carbon
How is protein made, What makes it up,and How is it held together
amino acids joined together, amino acids,and peptide bonds
What substance plays a central role as an energy source in humans
carbohydrates
What is a glycogen and what is it used for
Form of glucose and an energy reserve for your body
Where is genetic information stored
in an organism's DNA which is in the cell's nucleus.
Polysaccharides are
starch
what are the two types of nucleic acids
DNA and RNA
Are lipids polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
What is a catalyst
:a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change
What is an enzyme, How does it affect the rate of reaction, and How does it do that
a protein, by accelerating it, by reducing the activation energy
Where is the active site
On the enzyme.
What affects an enzyme activity
Temperature,pH, and concentration
How does an enzyme influence a biological reaction
increase the rate of reaction
Enzymes are what organic molecule
protein
How does temperature,pH, and concentration change the reaction
it can slow down the reaction and or change the enzyme's shape.
Where would you find acid:
0-6.9
where would you find neutral
7
where would you find base
7.1-14
does a pH of 5 have more hydrogen ions than a pH of 2
no 2 has more
What ions are involved in the pH scale
hydrogen and hydroxide
cohesion
water molecules sticking together
adhesion
water molecules sticking to other surfaces
Specific heat
the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount (usually 1 degree)
Surface tension
a combination of the attraction between molecules of water
polar
charged areas
Why is water polar
the unequal distribution of its electron density.
Why does water have a high surface tension
hydrogen bonds among water molecules resist stretching or breaking the surface
why is water a universal solvent
its ability to dissolve many different materials
Explain how water has a high specific heat
Hydrogen bonds increase the amount of energy that is required for the temperature to change.
what is capillary action
when liquid flows through narrow spaces without external forces, like gravity.
