Properties of Water and Macromolecules
Protien: the immediate and primary source of all living things
Lipid: Fats, oils, and waxes that act as a stored energy source, insulation, and water-proof coverings
Carbohydrate: control many chemical reactions and processes that take place in living things are well as act as the building supplies
Nucleic Acid: stored heriditary information in the form of DNA and RNA
Carbohydrates are also known as: Polysaccharides
Carbohydrates contain: CHO
Carbohydrates buiding blocks: (Monomer) Monosaccharides
Example of carbohydrates: (simple sugars) ex. glucolse
Chemical formula for glucose: C6H12O6
Carbohydrate function: quick energy
Example of quick energy: starch-potatos,pasta
Glycogen: stored muscles
Sugar: glucolse, fructose
Structural cellulose: plant cell walls (fiber)
Lipids are not a polymer but: are often made of glyceron and fatty acids
What types of fats are lipids made of?: saturated or unsatured
Lipids contain: CHO
Protiens building blocks: amino acids
What are amino acids connected by?: peptide bonds
Functions of protiens: enzymes, structure, transport, anti bodies
Enzymes: speed up reactions
Structure: collagen and keratin
Protiens contain: CHON(S)
Nucleic acids contain: CHONP
Nucleic acid building blocks: nucleotides
CHONPS:carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur
What is water made up of: 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom
Slightly positive: hydrogen atoms
Sightly negative: oxygen atom
What holds the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom: a covelant bond
What kind of attraction is between molecules of water: magnetic
Weak attraction between bonds: hydrogen bonding
Adhesive: forms hydrogen bonds with molecules on other surfaces
Cohesive: the molecles are attracted to each other due to hydrogen bonds
What does cohesive do: creates surface tension, causes water to form droplets and allow insects and leaves to rest on the surface of a body of water
What does adhesive do: allows water to travel up the stem of a plant, and seeds swell and germinate by capilliary action
