Properties of Water and Macromolecules

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: s%%tored 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

Water:

^^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
