Bonds and Interactions
This type of bond forms when electrons are shared equally between atoms
What is Covalent bond?
This property of water allows it to dissolve many substances, making it known as the "universal solvent"?
What is Polarity?
This type of molecule contains carbon and is typically found in living organisms
What is Organic molecule?
This type of reaction involves adding water to break down larger molecules into smaller ones
What is Hydrolysis?
This is what pH measures.
What is Hydrogen ion concentration [H+]?
In this type of bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in charged ions
This is the property of water that allows it to stick to other surfaces
What is Adhesion?
This is an example of an inorganic molecule essential for life
What is Water?
This type of biological macromolecule includes sugars and starches
What is Carbohydrate?
This type of substance helps maintain pH levels in the body by neutralizing small amounts of acids or bases
What is Buffer?
This type of bond is where electrons are shared unequally, creating partial positive and negative charges
What is Polar covalent bond?
This is the property that allows ice to float on water
This type of molecule is typically smaller and simpler. (organic or inorganic)
What is Inorganic?
This macromolecule is used for long-term energy storage
What is Lipid?
This molecule is often referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell
What is ATP?
This is the name for the partially positive and negative regions in a molecule with polar covalent bonds
What is Dipole?
This property of water enables it to resist temperature changes, helping to maintain homeostasis in organisms
What is High specific heat capacity?
Carbon dioxide is this type of molecule. (organic or inorganic)
What is Inorganic?
This is the building block of proteins.
What is Amino acid?
This is the result of ATP losing a phosphate group.
What is ADP?
This is the weak bond that forms between a hydrogen atom in one molecule and an electronegative atom in another molecule
Hydrogen bond
This is the term for the cohesive forces between water molecules that result in a high surface tension
What is Cohesion?
This is a major difference between organic and inorganic molecule
What are Hydrogen bonds? (organic molecules contain these, inorganic do not)
What is Nucleic acid?
Bicarbonate (HCO3) picks up extra of this to form carbonic acid (H2CO3)
What is H+ ions?
