25
The attraction among molecules of a substance, makes water molecules stick to other water molecules, creates surface tension
Cohesion
26
The attraction among water molecules to different molecules
Adhesion
27
What causes hydrogen bonds to form between polar molecules?
Polar molecules have partially charged regions that attract other polar molecules
28
What must happen for molecules and ions to take part in chemical processes inside cells?
They must dissolve in water
29
How is a solution made?
When one substance dissolves in the water in your body or other substances
30
A mixture of substances that is the same throughout
Solution
31
The substance that is present in the grater amount and the part that dissolves the other substances
Solvent
32
A substance that dissolves in a solvent
Solute
33
What is the solvent and solute in blood?
Solvent-plasma Solute--the other dissolved substances
34
Why do polar molecules dissolve in water
Because the attraction between the water molecules and the solute molecules is greater than the attraction among the molecules of the solute(the pull between the water and the solute molecules is more than the solute molecules attraction keeping them together)
35
A compound that releases a proton when it dissolves in water
Acid
36
What is the difference of acids and bases?
Acids have a higher concentration of hydrogen protons
37
Compounds that remove hydrogen protons from a solution (have a lower concentration of hydrogen protons than acids)
Bases
38
Element that has four valence electrons
Carbon
39
What are the three structures of carbon?
Straight chains, branched chains, and rings
40
Each subunit in a complete molecule
Monomer
41
A large molecule made of many monomers branded together
Polymers
42
A molecule containing a very large number of atoms
Macromolecule
43
Polymers that have different monomers
Proteins
44
Polymers with one type of monomer
Starches
45
Molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen that can be broken down to provide a source of usable chemical energy for cells
Carbohydrates
46
Most basic carbohydrate
Sugars
47
Sugar made by plant cells during photosynthesis that have 6 carbon atoms
Glucose
48
Any of a class of sugars who's molecules contain two monosaccharide residues
Disaccharide
49
Another term for sugar
Saccharide
50
Polymers of monosaccharides
Polysaccharides
51
What type of bonds link monomers in proteins?
Peptide bonds
52
What is the relationship between starches and cellulose?
Starches and cellulose are the polymers of glucose
53
Carbo that has a straight rigid structure and makes up the cell wall in plant cells
Cellulose
54
No polar molecules that include fats, oils, and cholesterol
Lipids
55
Chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms
Fatty acids
56
What is the major difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Saturated fats only have carbon-carbon single bonds and unsaturated have double bonds
57
What do the double bonds in unsaturated fats result in?
The fat being a liquid/oil
58
Three fatty acids bonded to glycerol
Triglycerides
59
Consists of glycerol, two fatty acids and a phosphate group
Phospholipid
60
Lipid that the body needs for steroid her ones
Cholesterol
61
A polymer made of amino acids
Protein
62
Molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sometimes sulfur
Amino acid
63
What is every amino acid bonded to?
A hydrogen atom, an amino acid, and a carboxyl group,
64
