which vitamin Helps clot your blood
Vitamin K
A leaf floats on top of a pond instead of sinking below the water level
Surface tension
PH below 7
Acid
Strengthens Bones
Vitamin D
A substance that contains carbon
Organic
Because of its polarity, water molecules are attracted and stick to one another
Cohesion
A water molecule has slight positive and negative charges. this makes the molecule “sticky”
Polarity
Water can dissolve many substances
Universal solvent
PH above 7
Base
water molecules stick to other materials/molecules
Adhesion
Helps fight against illness/infection

Function of Carbohydrate
Carbohydrates are a primary source of energy for the body. They are broken down into glucose, which is used by cells for energy. Carbohydrates also have structural functions, such as providing support for cell walls in plants.
Function of lipid
Lipids are a diverse group of biomolecules that are not soluble in water. They serve as a source of energy, as well as a structural component of cell membranes. Lipids also act as insulation, protecting the body from temperature changes.
Function of Protein
Proteins are involved in a wide variety of functions within the body. They serve as enzymes, catalyzing chemical reactions in the body. Proteins also act as structural components, such as in muscle tissue, and help transport molecules across cell membranes.
Function of nucleic Acid
Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, store and transmit genetic information. DNA contains the instructions for building proteins, while RNA helps to carry out this process. Nucleic acids are essential for the growth, development, and reproduction of all living organisms.
