Type of bond that holds a single water molecule together | Polar Covalent |
Type of bond that holds one or more water molecules together | Hydrogen |
Why is water polar? | Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen |
Which organisms utilize capillary action? | Plants... they can move water against gravity |
What is the monomer for proteins? | Amino Acids |
What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acid chains? | Unsaturated contain double bonds causing kinks so they are liquid at room temperature and do not contain the most amount of hydrogen. |
