Water
The property of water that occurs when elements are dissolved.
What is the universal solvent?
The bond where atoms are weakly attracted to opposite polarities
What is hydrogen bonding
The place where enzymes land on the cells.
What is an activation site?
These form a ring with CHO.
What are carbohydrates?
The term for atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
What are isotopes?
The property of water that causes surface tension.
What is cohesion?
The bond where electrons are shared
What is covalent bonding?
They lower activation energy.
What are enzymes?
The monomer of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
They keep ph level neutral.
What are buffers?
The property of water that causes capillary functions.
What is adhesion?
The bond where electrons are transferred.
What is ionic bonding?
Reactions go faster because of this.
What is lowering of the activation energy?
They have fatty acids and glycerols.
What are lipids?
This is dissolved by a solvent.
What is a solute?
The property of water that allows it to absorb high amounts of heat
What is heat capacity?
The bond where things are weakly attracted because they fit together.
What are van der Waals forces
This can change enzymes to change shape.
What is the change of ph levels/temperature?
Enzymes are a part of this category.
What are proteins?
They are unstable and decay at a steady rate.
What are radioactive molecules?
It’s denser than ice
What is water?
Carbon can bond with many different things because of these.
What are carbon’s four valence electrons?
These are used in reactions.
What are reactants?
They transmit genetic information.
What are nucleic acids?
What is dehydration synthesis?
