16
Q

What is a suspension?

A

When the particles are bigger than the water molecules so it doesn’t dissolve

17
Q

What is a colloid

A

A colloid is when the particles are smaller than suspensions butt bigger than a solute

18
Q

What is the main difference between a colloid and suspensions/solutions

A

A call Lloyd takes in the water and a solution/suspension tries to take things into the water

19
Q

Draw the pH scale and show which numbers are acids bases and neutrals

A

At the top is the number one it is an acid in the middle it is the number seven it is neutral at the bottom it is number 14 and it is base

20
Q

What ions are in an acidic solution

21
Q

What ions are in a base solution

22
Q

What are the four major organic compound groups

A

Nucleic acid’s, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids

23
Q

What is the monomer of a carbohydrate

A

Monosaccharide a.k.a. one unit of sugar

24
Define monosaccharide disaccharide and polysaccharide
Mono equals one unit of sugar die equals two units of sugar poly equals many units of sugar
25
What to sugars are isomers and Why
Glucose and fructose because they have the same number of Adams and different structures
26
Which organic compound group has fats waxes and phospholipids
Lipids
27
Draw and label the phospholipid
Two circles the things in between the two is a cell membrane the smaller things in between the two a.k.a. the two lollipops one of the soccer parts is glycerol the others phosphate in the sticks are fatty acids
28
What is the monomer of a protein
An amino acid
29
What is the "racecar protein" and why
Enzymes because it speeds up reaction time
30
Can an enzyme be reused
Yes
31
What organic COM phone group are DNA and RNA from
Nucleic acid's
32
Is DNA the message or the messenger
Message
33
What is the difference between where DNA is found in the cell and where RNA is found in the cell
DNA is in the nucleus, and RNA is in the cytoplasm
34
What chemical reaction forms a molecule of water on the bond site
A condensation reaction
35
What is a "water splitting" breakdown reaction called
Hydrolysis
36
What is the bond formed between amino acids called
Peptide bond
37
What are two, and three or more amino acids called
Dipeptide, polypeptide
38
What is the test called that causes a color change
An indicator test
39
What does soluble mean
Able to dissolve
40
What does translucent mean
Able for light to come through
41
Name three reasons why water is so special and therefore a compound found in all living things
Water is constantly forming (condensation reaction), water is the universal solvent, through hydrolysis, things are split down into H2O
