What is TRUE?
Water is _____ which allows it to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules that are also _____.
What is POLAR?
A covalent bond results when two or more atoms do this to their electrons.
What is SHARE?
For a substance to be considered "organic" it must contain this element.
What is CARBON?

What are PROTEINS?
This is the process in which organisms maintain a stable internal environment.
What is HOMEOSTASIS?
Cohesion is the phenomenon of water molecules sticking to other water molecules because of this.
What is HYDROGEN BONDING?
These are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons.
What are IONS?
These provide quick, short-term energy.
What are CARBOHYDRATES?
Triglycerides (gylcerol and 3 fatty acids) build these types of macromolecules.
What are LIPIDS?
The process by which organisms get larger.
What is GROWTH?
This gives water many properties that are important to living things.
What is HYDROGEN BONDING DUE TO POLARITY?
This property of carbon allows it to be the building block of life.
What is ITS COVALENT BONDING?
These types of macromolecules are used in chemical reactions AND provides structure to our bodies.
What are PROTEINS?
Nucleic acids are made from repeating units called these.
What are NUCLEIC ACIDS?
The process in which organisms change as they grow.
What is DEVELOPMENT?
What is UNIVERSAL SOLVENT?
When atoms share atoms UNEQUALLY, this type of bond is formed.
What is POLAR COVALENT?
These provide long-term energy storage as well as insulation.
What are LIPIDS?
This is a type of protein that is used in biological reactions as a catalyst.
