27
Q

Surface tension

A

Water is pulled together creating the smallest surface area possible.

28
Q

Specific heat

A

The amount of heat per unit of mass required to raise the temperature by one degree celsius.

29
Q

Number of Elements and compounds in living things.

A

90 elements naturally occurring.
Only 11 are common in living things.
Most common are carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen.

30
Q

Organic and inorganic are two main groups of what?

A

Chemical compounds

31
Q

Organic compounds are ———–large or small, simple or complex, why?

A

Also tend to be
LARGE molecules(made up of lots of atoms)
COMPLEX: lots of carbon and hydrogen atoms bound covalently.

32
Q

Inorganic compounds are ——–simple or complex, big or small, carbon or no carbon

A

Generally do NOT contain carbon
CO2 is an exception
Also tend to be
Small and simple

33
Q

What’s so special about CARBON?

A

4 outer (valence) electrons.

34
Q

Bottom line about carbon

A

It has HUGE potential for making a WIDE VARIETY of different types of molecules.

35
Q

Bottom line about making polymers.

A

Small subunits link together to make large polymers.

36
Q

4 major groups of organic compounds

A

Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleus acids

37
Q

Functions of Carbohydrates

A

Quick energy
They function in short term energy storage in plants
They function as intermediate term storage
They function as structural components in cells

38
Q

Monomers polymers polysaccharides are part of what structure?

A

General carb structure

39
Q

Monosaccharides

A

Monomers of carbs are monosaccharides

40
Q

Why are monosaccharides important

A

Energy in them can be made quickly available to living things

41
Q

Disaccharides

A

Double sugars

Two monosaccharides joined

42
Q

Why are disaccharides useful?

A

Not quite so easily broken down as monosaccharides

43
Q

How are Polysaccharides made?

A

Made by joining many monosaccharides

44
Q

Types of polysaccharides

A

Starch and Glycogen

45
Q

Polysaccharides - cellulose, example

A

Structural carbohydrate
Cell walls of fungi
Exoskeleton of autotrophs

47
Q

What are 4 types of Lipids

A 
Waxed
Oils
Fats

Hormones
All are nonpolar(don't dissolve in water)
48
Q

Functions of lipids are what?

A 
Energy storage
Insulation
Keeps animals warm

52
Q

Solvent

A

Something that dissolves something else
