Macros
This macromolecule's main function is fuel for energy for cells.
What are carbohydrates?
A chemical that decreases the pH of a solution.
What is an acid?
This is known as the "universal solvent".
What is water?
This type of bond is when an electron is completely given away.
What is ionic bond?
The smallest units of an element that retain its physical and chemical properties.
What is an atom?
This macromolecule is ATP and genetic information.
What is nucleic acids?
A chemical that accepts protons.
What is a base?
This property of water assist with protection of organs and ease of joint mobility.
What is cushion and lubrication?
This type of bond has equal sharing of electrons?
What is Non-Polar Covalent?
A positively charged particle in the nucleus of the atom.
What is a proton?
This macromolecule is used to catalyze chemical reactions in the body.
What is a protein (enzyme)?
The color red litmus paper turns in an alkaline solution.
What is blue?
This property of water helps with the breaking down and building of compounds.
What is reactivity?
This type of bond is unequal sharing of electrons.
What is Polar Covalent?
The negatively charged particles that are shared, lost or gained in chemical bonds.
What are electrons?
This chemical reaction is responsible for binding monomers into a polymer structure.
What is dehydration reaction or dehydration synthesis?
pH is the measurement of the number of these in a solution.
This property of water helps regulate body temperature with the effect of sweating.
What is Heat of vaporization?
This type of bond is easily broken (I.e. dissolved in water)
What is an ionic bond?
Anything that occupies space and has a mass.
What is matter?
This is when a protein loses its structure.
What is denatured?
Combination of weak acids and/or weak bases that tend to keep pH levels constant with certain ranges by donating/accepting protons as needed.
What are buffers?
This property of water helps regulate body temperature by being able to absorb large amounts of heat before a change in core temp occurs.
What is Heat Capacity?
This bond takes place between two polar molecules where the slightly negative and positive ends of one molecule bond with the slightly negative and positive end of another molecule.
What is hydrogen bond?
The outermost shell of electrons that are shared or gained and lost in chemical bonds.
What is Valence shell?
