Water
attraction of water molecules to any hydrophilic substance
Adhesion
Large organic polymer molecules
Macromolecules
monomers in nucleic acids
Function of Lipids is
Long-term energy storage
subunit or building block molecule of a polymer
Monomer
attraction of water molecules to each other through hydrogen bonds
Cohesion
The macromolecule that store and transmits
genetic information (DNA and RNA)
store and transmit hereditary information
Function of Nucleic Acid
single/simple sugars of a carbohydrate
Monosaccharides
What are the four Macromolecules?
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids
molecules attracted to water and readily dissolve
Hydrophilic
A macromolecule originally created through
photosynthesis which provides short term energy and
structural support to cells
Carbohydrate
1. Controls the Rates of Reactions
2. Fights Diseases
3. Forms Cell Structures
4. Regulates Cell Processes
5. Transports stuff In/Out of the Cell
Function of Proteins
hundreds or thousands of monosaccharides
Polysaccharides
large molecule consisting of many identical or similar subunits connected together
Polymer
repelled by water molecules
Hydrophobic
Diverse group of nonpolar macromolecules that
can store energy, provide structure and signaling
around the cell
Lipids
two types of nucleic acids
DNA and RNA
Function of Carbohydrates is
Short-term or immediate Energy Source
the descriptive and conceptual findings collected through questionnaires, interviews, or observation
Qualitative Data
water's ability to dissolve many substances
Universal Solvent
Polymers that assist with cell functions including
transport, signaling, immune defense and
structural support
Proteins
Elements present in proteins
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
The Monomer of Lipids are
Glycerol and Fatty Acid
Describe the difference between an independent and dependent variable
An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment
