Which property of water below is correctly matched with an example of that property? a. water organizes nonpolar molecules – lipid bilayers of phospholipids form in aqueous solutions b. water has a high specific heat – salt dissolves in water c. water is a good solvent for ions and polar molecules – temperatures are more constant in areas with a lot of water than in dry areas, like deserts d. solid water is less dense than liquid water – the evaporation of sweat cools animals e. the high heat of vaporization – the bottom of ponds stay more liquid than the surface in winter
What is *a. water organizes nonpolar molecules – lipid bilayers of phospholipids form in aqueous solutions

Depending on the type and isomer of monosaccharides used to make a polysaccharide, the result will be
What is different. The result may be one of many polysaccharides, like cellulose, glycogen or a starch.

Pasteur ran experiments testing the germ hypothesis that preexisting organisms in the air contaminate sterile broth and the spontaneous generation hypothesis that living organism spontaneously generate from nonliving organic molecules. In class we discussed the experiments and the conclusion that the germ hypothesis was correct and the spontaneous generation hypothesis was false. What result would have supported the spontaneous generation hypothesis?
What is microorganisms in the sterilized broth with the flask neck intact

Due to the difference in the electronegativity of oxygen and hydrogen, in one molecule of water
What is a partial negative charge on the oxygen and a partial positive charge on hydrogen.

Imagine you are an alien from a world without flashlights. You make some observations on Earth and develop a hypothesis that flashlights require batteries to work. You do an experiment where you show that twenty flashlights without batteries do not work. An important control experiment is to show
What is that the flashlights do work with batteries.

The backbone of RNA is made by
What is covalent phosphodiester bonds between sugar and phosphate groups.

Part of a protein is found in the center of a protein away from water. You would predict that this part of the protein contained
What are nonpolar amino acids.

Which of the following is a characteristic of both living organisms and non-living materials?
They can contain oxygen and hydrogen

Imagine an organic molecule that has a hydroxyl group that interacts with water. The bond between the water molecule and the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl on the organic molecule is a(n)
What is a hydrogen bond.
400
Good science proceeds by
What is making hypotheses that make predictions.
500
When two strands of DNA make a double helix, the nitrogenous base of the purine adenine (A) makes
What is hydrogen bonds with the pyrimidine thymine (T).
500
You would predict that a triglyceride that came from a plant would
What is have at least one double bond in a fatty acid.

Why do phospholipids form bilayers?
They form bilayers because the hydrophobic tails can minimize contact with water and the hydrophilic end can minimize contact with lipids.
