Q

All organisms synthesize proteins in ribosomes, with the help of RNA, according to the genetic codes on DNA.

A

Protein Synthesis

22
Q

Catalysts in organisms start or speed up a reaction.

A

Having enzymes

23
Q

Keeping the internal conditions stable (internal balance) in organisms

A

Homeostasis

24
Q

The water molecule is neutral, but due to electron arrangements and bond angles, the oxygen end is slightly negative and the hydrogen ends are slightly positive.

A

polarity

25
Q

Polar molecules such as sugar and NaCl are easily attracted and H bonded by polar water molecules.

A

Hydrophilic

26
Q

The same polarity repels non-polar molecules such as oil.

A

Hydrophobic

27
Q

Because of the polarity property, dissolves solutes and
separates them into ions.

A

Solvent

28
Q

Water molecules cling together because of H bonding.

A

cohesion

29
Q

Water molecules stick to the surfaces.

A

adhesion

30
Q

There are fewer water molecules on the surface so water molecules make a stronger bond between those molecules that actually do come in contact with one another, and a layer of strongly bonded water.

A
