0-6

100

example of lipids

wax, oils, fats, honey
100

enzymes are what type of macromolecule?

protein

200

what is an isotope?

same element but different # of neutrons

200

what is adhesion

attraction between molecules of different substances 

200

What pH range should something that is basic be in?

8-14

200

What are the 4 types of macromolecules

carbohydrate, lipid, nucleic acid, protein

200

1. What is the monomer of nucleic acids 

2. examples of nucleic acids 

1. Nucleotide

2. DNA, RNA

300

what are examples of radioactive isotopes?

detect cancer

kill bacteria that spoil food 

determine ages of rocks 

300

What is the property of water that is happening in the tube called?

 

meniscus

300

What would you call a solution with more H+ ions than OH- ions. 

acidic

300

monomer of proteins

amino acids 

300

what is the function of lipids? 


store energy for long term use 

waterproofs membranes and body coverings 

400

What is a chemical compound? give examples 

substance formed by 2 or more elements 

NaCl 

H2O

400

describe what heat capacity is

the amount of energy needed to raise a substances temperature by making its molecules move faster

400

Label the parts of this equation

Water H2O

HHydrogen

OH- Hydroxide 

400

explain polymerization

process where monomers (smaller units) come together to form polymers (bigger units)

400

define the following words in terms of sugar

1. Monosaccharide

2. Disaccharide 

3. polysaccharide

1.  1 simple singular sugar (glucose)

2. 2 simple single sugar join together (glucose + fructose)

3. multiple simple sugars joined together

500

explain differences between covalent and ionic bonds 

covalent formed what electrons are SHARED between 2 or more atoms 


ionic formed when one or more electrons are TRANSFERRED from one atom to another 

500

What is polarity? Why is water considered to be polar?

polarity- uneven partial positive/ negative charges

the oxygen on a water molecule has a partial negative charge, while the 2 hydrogens have a partial positive charge, allowing for more attraction to other polar molecules 

500

What is a buffer and what role does it play in our lives?

weak acids/ bases that help to combat other strong acids/bases, maintain homeostasis

500

explain what enzymes do

speed up chemical reactions 

500

what type of bonds link amino acids together to form a polypeptide

covalent bonds
