Properties of Water
What is a water molecule made of
2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms
What element do all macromolecules contain?
Carbon
What are the 4 types of macromolecules
Carbohydrates, Nucleic Acids, Proteins, and Lipids
What if the word ends with -OSE it is made of?
A sugar aka carbohydrates
What is a Chemical Reaction?
A process that changes a set of compounds into another
Which property of water is the attraction between molecules of different substances
Adhesion
What do carbohydrates do?
Store and quick release energy
What is the monomer of carbohydrates?
monosaccharides aka sugars
What is DNA and RNA is and example of...
Nucleic Acids
What does energy do when a chemical bond breaks?
It releases or gets absorbed
On the pH scale what would be consider and acidic solution?
7 and below on the pH scale
What do lipids do?
provide long term energy, form cell membranes, and provide insulation and protection for organs. They also function as signaling molecules, forming hormones and regulating processes.
What are the monomers of proteins?
Amino Acids
What are Starch and Glycogen an example of?
Carbohydrates (Starch plants and Glycogen animals)
What is Activation energy?
The energy that's required to start a chemical reaction
What is the most important solvent?
What does a nucleic acid do in my body?
DNA and RNA, are responsible for storing and expressing genetic information and directing protein synthesis. DNA acts as the master blueprint, containing the instructions for growth, development, and cell function, while RNA plays crucial roles in carrying these instructions from the DNA to the cellular machinery that builds proteins.
What is are lipids made of?
A glycerol and 3 fatty acid tails
What are fat, wax, butter, oil, even hormones like steroids are example of?
Lipids
Catalyst
a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy without being consumed in the process
Named all of the properties of water
Polarity,Cohesion,Adhesion,Heat Capacity,Solvent Ability, and Neutral pH
Proteins are responsible for
Structural Support, Growth and Repair of cells, tissues, and organs. Enzymatic Activity, catalyzing reactions for metabolism, digestion, and other cellular processes. Hormonal regulation, Cell Signaling and Cellular Transport. Immune System as Antibodies, which are a vital role in defending the body against pathogens and infections. When other energy sources are unavailable, proteins can even be broken down to provide energy.
What is the monomers of Nucleic Acids Called?
Nucleotides
Proteins can look like
Meat, eggs, dairy, beans, enzymes, hormones, and structural proteins like collagen in your skin!
What macromolecule are enzymes example of? *Do you remember what the ending of the names looks like of most enzymes?
Proteins, usual end with -ase like Lactase.
