Chapter 2

Question 1

I can make up to four bonds , stable tetrahedral shapes. I also have a tendency to chain. What am I?

Answer 1

Carbon

Question 2

I am carbon based bond. I’m less flexible but I’m more stable. It takes a lot of heat and temperature to disrupt my structure.

Answer 2

Carbon Double Bond

Question 3

I am a type of bond. I form when you see lots of carbons and hydrogens

Answer 3

nonpolar bond

Question 4

My monomers are polar. My monomers are called amino acids.

Answer 4

Proteins

Question 5

My monomers are polar. they contain a lot of oxygen and carbon bonds. my monomers are called sugars.

Answer 5

Carbohydrates

Question 6

My monomers are called nucleotides.

Answer 6

nucleic acids

Question 7

I am the bonds that make up a sugar phosphate backbone.

Answer 7

phosphodiester bonds

Question 8

I am a type of fat. solid at room temperature and stable. high amounts of me can clog your blood vessels. I contain single bonds (C-O).

Answer 8

saturated fats

Question 9

I am a type of fat. I contain double bonds. I’m very unstable. I’m often in my liquid state. The more you have of me the easier it is to melt me.

Answer 9

Unsaturated fats

Question 10

I am the force found in saturated fats. I’m only found in hydrophobic molecules.

Answer 10

Van der waals forces

Question 11

I am antipathic. I am also the basis for all cellular membranes. I fall under the category of the monomer- fatty acids

Answer 11

Phospholipids

Question 12

I am very important in metabolism. I am a hydrocarbon with rings rather than chains. I’m used to stabilize cell membranes an allow for fluidity.

Answer 12

Steroids

Question 13

I am a monomer. I am polar and I am the optimal energy molecule.

Answer 13

Sugar

Question 14

I am one example of a carbohydrate. I am found in the cell wall of living organisms. I am an organic compound. humans consume me as a source of fiber.

Answer 14

Cellulose

Question 15

I am a non-polar molecule. I am found in grain products such as pasta, rice, and bread. I am an example of a carbohydrate.

Answer 15

Starch

Question 16

I have the same type and number of atoms just arranged in a different order

Answer 16

Isomer

Question 17

I am the amount of energy that is required to change the state of water from a solid to a liquid and a liquid to a gas.

Answer 17

Specific Heat

Question 18

If you have me as a property , you could have both hydrogen and ionic bonds. I’m able to readily dissolve in water , they call me water loving. what am I?

Answer 18

Hydrophillic

Question 19

I have nonpolar covalent bonds. Any thing charged and placed in water will not dissolve. what property am i?

Answer 19

Hydrophobic

Question 20

I am a property expressed by acidity or basicity of a solution.

Answer 20

pH -potential of hydrogen

Question 21

I have more protons then hydroxides. I’m also a proton donor. Most biological molecules have my property.

Answer 21

Acid(s) (pH<7)

Question 22

I am a proton absorber. I have a lot more hydroxides than I do protons.

Answer 22

Base ( pH>7)
