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. |
