Atoms
Water has the ability of cohesion and adhesion because of what type of bond?
Polar Covalent bonds.
How do cohesion and adhesion work together when water is traveling up a plants xylem?
Adhesion allows water to stick to the sides of the xylem and cohesion lets water stick to other water molecules which pulls the water up the xylem.
Fats and oils are examples of what macromolecule?
Lipids
What is all matter made of?
Atoms
What does lactase do and what does it mean to be lactose intolerant?
Lactase breaks down lactose and people with lactose intolerance are not able to produce lactase to bresak down lactose.
What is an ionic bond?
A bond between atoms in which one ion gives up an electron to another ion so the two are of opposite charges and attract
True or false, water is denser in a liquid state than a solid, which is why ice sinks to the bottom of whatever water it is in.
False
What are the four major groups of macromolecules?
Lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and proteins.
What is a hypothesis?
A specific, testable, proposed explanation for an observation that has potential to be proven wrong.
Please define enzyme.
Biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions.
What is a covalent bond?
A bond in which two or more atoms share electrons.
What is surface tension? (You have to use a certain vocab word in your explanation)
Water molecules’ ability to stick together through cohesion on the surface of water to provide that provide a layer of film on top of it.
This macromolecule has amino acids and polypeptides as its monomers and polymers.
Proteins
What should you always wear during a lab?
Goggles, gloves, and an apron.
What are two examples of enzymes?
Sucrase and lactase.
Name the main three parts of an atom and describe their charges.
Protons- positive, Electron- negative, Neutrons- neutral.
Why is water a universal solvent?
It is polar, allowing some substances easily dissolve in it.
What are the monomers and polymers of carbohydrates?
Monosaccharides and Polysaccharides
If a substance has a pH less than 7, what is it?
Acidic
What is a denatured enzyme and how does one become denatured?
Enzyme that has its active site changed by an external force that can no longer perform its function. pH and extreme heat can denature an enzyme.
What is an isotope?
An atom of an element that has a different number of neutrons and different characteristics.
What re three properties of water than can be found on the bank of a pond in the winter? (Three needed)
Cohesion and adhesion in the plants of the river bank. Water's density and heat capacity makes it so the pond doesn't freeze fully
RNA and DNA are polymers of what macromolecule?
Nucleic Acids
What is the main difference between an allergy and intolerance?
Allergy is triggered in immune system, intolerance occurs within the stomach.
What can somone with a lactose intolerance take so their body can break down lactose?
They can take lactaid which contains lactase which allows them to eat lactose which can be broken down by the lactaid.
