H2O/Water
The meaning of polar.
Unequal sharing of electrons.
The property of water that allows it to stick to other objects.
Adhesion.
The meaning of an exothermic reaction.
A reaction that releases energy.
Carbon forms large, complex, and diverse molecules because of this feature of carbon.
Carbon forms 4 stable covalent bonds.
Enzymes (catalysts) affect chemical reactions in this way.
Enzymes speed up the reaction by reducing the activation energy. (The enzyme is not used up in the reaction so it can be used over and over again.)
The atoms that make up water are partially charged in this way.
The oxygen is partially negatively charged.
The hydrogens are partially positively charged.
All organic compounds contain this element.
Carbon
Two monomers are bonded together in this reaction.
Dehydration synthesis

Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions. Enzymes are this type of biological macromolecule.
Protein
This property of water allows plants to move water from the soil up through their roots and to their leaves without using energy.
Capillary Action
The farther a number goes in this direction, the more acidic it is.
Below 7 or down.
Monomer
These are the 3 functional groups in an amino acid.
Amine group
Carboxyl Group
R-Side Chain
This explains why catalase does not break down water.
This property of water allows insects and other creatures to walk or run on water.
Surface Tension
A neutral solution has this amount of hydronium compared to hydroxide.
Equal
Dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis compare in this way.
They are opposites. Dehydration synthesis removes water to bond monomers together while hydrolysis adds water to break apart bonds in polymers to form monomers.
1. Saturated fatty acids form this type of chain.
2. Unsaturated fatty acids form this type of chain.
1. Straight
2. Bent
In chemical reactions, the compound that the enzyme acts on is known as this vocabulary word.
Substrate
This property of water causes a meniscus in graduated cylinders.
Capillary Action
Proteins are composed of this monomer.
Amino Acids
All of the chemical reactions in an organism that build or break up compounds.
Metabolism
This biological macromolecule can provide waterproofing.
Lipids
This vocabulary word describes what happens to an enzyme when it is too far outside of its optimal pH range. (This also happens in other extreme conditions such as very high or very low temperatures.)
Denature. The enzyme changes shape and is no longer functional.
