Question
Answer
Carbohydrates   provides energy for organisms  
🗑
Lipids   provides energy for organisms, insulation from the cold, and makes up the cell membrane  
🗑
Proteins   makes up structural components of cells  
🗑
Nucleic Acids   stores genetic information for organisms  
🗑
Organic Molecules   molecules that build living things that contain carbon  
🗑
Inorganic molecules   molecules that living things consume that do not contain much carbon  
🗑
macromolecue   large organic molecules  
🗑
name the 4 macromolecules   carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids  
🗑
which macromolecule is made from amino acids?   proteins  
🗑
which macromolecue consists of fats and oils?   lipids  
🗑
which macromolecule is made of monosaccharides?   carbohydrates  
🗑
solute   dissolved particles  
🗑
solvent   substance that does the dissolving  
🗑
solution   solute and solvent  
🗑
transpiration   when water evaporates from the leaves of the plants. Water is pulled from the roots throughout the plant.  
🗑
cohesion   when water sticks to water  
🗑
adhesion   when water sticks to other surfaces  
🗑
polar   how water has a positive side and a negative side  
🗑
hydrophobic   water -fearing (the inside part of the cell membrane- the tails you colored red)  
🗑
hydrophilic   water-loving (the outside part of the cell membrane- the heads you colored yellow)  
🗑
cell membrane   the part of the cell that is made of a lipid bilayer  
🗑
the cell membrane r is made up of heads and tails. The heads love water - what word describes "water lover"   hydrophilic  
🗑
the cell membrane is made up of heads and tails. The tails fear water - what word describes "water fearing"   hydrophobic  
🗑
What does it mean for water to have high specific heat?   it means that it takes a lot of energy for water to change temperature  
🗑
why is water's high specific heat helpful?   your body has a lot of water in it- so it stabilizes body temperature. It also stabilizes earth's temperature.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
