Water and pH
The most acidic substance below:
Human urine = 6.0
Blood plasma = 7.5
Sea water = 8.0
Baking soda = 9.0
What is HUMAN URINE?
The most useful monosaccharide for our bodies.
What is GLUCOSE?
Ring-like lipids that are used for communication in our bodies.
What are STEROIDS?
Proteins that accelerate chemical reactions.
What are ENZYMES?
The number of bonds a stable carbon atom forms.
What is FOUR?
An acidic solution has MORE/LESS free hydrogen (H+) ions.
What is MORE?
The type of reaction that occurs when when the monosaccharides glucose and fructose form sucrose.
What is CONDENSATION or DEHYDRATION (synthesis)?
The special type of bond two carbons (C) may have in an unsaturated fat.
What is a DOUBLE BOND?
The basic monomers (subunits) that make up proteins.
What are AMINO ACIDS?
Organic molecules are based on this element.
What is CARBON (C)?
A basic solution has MORE/LESS hydroxide (OH-) ions.
What is MORE?
The total number of atoms in one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6).
What is 24?
The element that saturated carbons are "saturated" with.
What is HYDROGEN (H)?
Unlike carbohydrates and fats, proteins contain this element.
What is NITROGEN (N)?
The name of the type of bond when two atoms share an electron.
What is COVALENT BOND?
The hydrogen end of a water molecule has this charge.
What is POSITIVE?
A polysaccharide that stores energy for plants AND animals.
What is a STARCH?
The element that unsaturated fats have less of.
What is HYDROGEN?
What is a SUBSTRATE?
Phospholipids create these useful structures in our bodies.
What are CELL MEMBRANES?
What you call a molecule with opposite charges on each end. (It has an unequal distribution of charges.)
What is POLAR MOLECULE?
Maltose, lactose, and sucrose are examples of these.
What are DISACCHARIDES?
The "backbone" of triglycerides.
What is GLYCEROL?
What are:
1) Carboxyl group
2) Amino group
3) R-group
1) Forming a triglyceride from a glycerol and fatty acids.
2) Combining glucose and fructose to make sucrose.
3) Building a polypeptide from many amino acids.
These are examples of this type of reaction.
What is CONDENSATION/DEHYDRATION (synthesis)?
