The monomer of all carbohydrates. 

What is a monosaccharide?  C6H12O6

-Glucose

-Fructose

-Galactose

100

The simplest carbon compounds.  What are they and what are they comprised of? 

Hydrocarbons - contain only carbon & hydrogen atoms. 

100

What is the Boiling and Freezing points of water at sea level?  (*F & *C)

Boiling point: 100 *C or 212 *F


Freezing point: 0 *C or 32 *F

200

Monosaccharides are the main fuel that cells use for cellular work.  This cellular energy is made by burning monosaccharides in the powerhouse. 

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) 

200

What atom is highly versatile and has the capabilities of sharing its electrons with other atoms to form up to four covalent bonds? 

Carbon - only has four electrons in an outer shell that holds eight. 

200

The ability to maintain a steady state despite changing conditions? 

What is Homeostasis?
300

Identify three Polysaccharides and explain where each is derived.

Starch - stored energy in plants

Glycogen - stored in muscle tissue of animals

Cellulose - forms the cell wall in plants and is dietary fiber in humans diets.

Identify three Disaccharides and explain which two monosaccharides combine to form each!

Sucrose:  Glucose + Fructose

Lactose: Glucose + Galactose

Maltose: Glucose + Glucose

Describe how each atom in a water molecule acts to cause water to be Polar.

Oxygen end acts Negative. 

Hydrogen end acts Positive


Water is neutral with equal number of electrons and protons --- ZERO NET CHARGE

Identify three monosaccharides that are isomers all with the same chemical formula C6H12O6.


DAILY DOUBLE!!

Glucose

Fructose

Galactose

Explain Hydrolysis and Dehydration Synthesis (condensation). 

Hydrolysis:  Adding water to disaccharides or polysaccharides to break the glycosidic bonds holding the chain of monomers together.  This allows monomers to be usable by the Mitochondria for creating ATP (cellular energy). 


Dehydration Synthesis: Removing water to make a glycosidic bond attaching monomers together.  

 




500
The negative oxygen end of the water molecule is attracted to the positive hydrogen end of another water molecule to form what type of bond? 
Hydrogen Bond.

Identify 5 ways that Water helps to maintain homeostasis: 

- Makes a good insulator

- Resists temperature change

- Universal solvent 

- Coolant

- Ice is less dense and floats to the top to protect against temperature extremes for living things in the water.
