The Water Molecule
Define Cohesion:
Water molecules stick to each other
What do water molecules do when they are frozen?
They expand and lock the air pockets in place
PROTEINS!!!!
Monomer?
Amino acids
What's the memory trick for lipids shape and characteristics?
The ChapStick made he LIPS WAXY and OILY
Short-term energy
Define Adhesion:
Waters ability to stick to other surfaces (Molecules)
Why can fish survive in the winter beneath a sheet of floating ice?
Because air pockets in the ice act as an insulator for the after beneath it.
Proteins are _______?
Enzymes
Where are lipids made?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Nucleic Acids contain the "codons" for _______.
PROTEINS
What property causes water to form a DEW DROP on a leaf?
Cohesion- surface tension
The law of Electromagnetics
What does a catalyst do?
Speeds up reaction rate and lowers the activation energy.
Lipids are _________ in water.
INSOLUBLE
How many bases are needed to "code" for an Amino Acid?
3 Nitrogenous bases
What is the name of the phenomenon created by cohesion that allows bugs to walk on water? (Holy Bug!)
Surface tension
Why does ice float on liquid water?
Because of the increased size in "air pockets", ICE is actually LESS DENSE that liquid water, so it floats.
What form are proteins found in the cell?
Proteins are found in the form of Protein pumps and Protein channels.
Long-term energy storage (Lipid)
What part of a Nucleotide help make up a codon?
The NITROGENOUS BASE
Capillary action because it sticks to the sides of the plant's vascular tissue.
What does the law of Electromagnetic Attraction state?
Opposite charges are attracted to one another and "like" charges repel one another.
What are 3 things that affect the function of a catalyst?
1) Ph
2) Temperature
3) Concentration
Lipids make up the majority of the _________.
Cell Membrane
Nucleic Acids:
Monomer?
Location?
Monomer- Nucleotide
Location- Nucleus
