Properties of water
This property of water allows a pin to float on the surface of water.
What is cohesion (surface tension)
The range of pH's for bases
What is greater than 7
The presence of this element makes a molecule organic
What is carbon
The reason lipids and water don't mix
What is lipids are mostly non polar
This type of lipid is used for energy storage
What is a triglyceride
The attractive force between two water molecules
What are hydrogen bonds
The range of pH's for acids
What is less than 7
The number of bonds carbon can make
what is 4
The state of matter that a saturated fat will be in at room temperature
What is solid
This type of lipid is used to send signals through the body
what is a steroid
The ability for water to absorb a lot of energy before its temperature raises
What is specific heat
These substances help stabilize the pH of a system
What are buffers
The chemical process of building polymers from monomers
What is dehydration synthesis
The term used to describe phospholipids polarity
what is amphipathic
This type of lipid forms a bilayer in water
what is a phospholipid
the ability for water to dissolve other polar substances
What is a versatile solvent
how much more acidic a pH of 7 is than 10
What is 1000x
When these two elements bond they form a non polar covalent bond.
what is carbon and hydrogen
A fatty acid with a double bond in the hydrocarbon tail
What is unsaturated
A wax is made up of a fatty acid and a hydrocarbon combining to form 1 molecule. This many water molecules is formed
What is 1
The bond between an oxygen and the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule
What is a covalent bond
how much more basic a pH of 2 is than 4
what is 0.01x
The chemical process of breaking down polymers into their monomers with the addition of water
What is hydrolysis
The number of monomers that form a triglyceride
What is 4
This type of bond connects fatty acids to a glycerol backbone
What is ester linkage
