Q

water consists of the one oxygen connected to two hydrogens by polar covalent bonds. These polar covalent lead to the hydrogens of the water molecule being partially positively charged and the oxygen having two regions of partial negative charge.

Q

these polar covalent lead to the hydrogens of the water molecule being partially positively charged and the oxygen having two regions of partial negative charge. The partial positive charge of one water molecule can interact with partial negative charge of another water molecule (via hydrogen bonding) and vice versa.

Q

The partial positive charge of one water molecule can interact with partial negative charge of another water molecule via hydrogen bonding and vice versa. Water molecules make a network of hydrogen bonds.

A

describing the structure of water and how the structure leads to other molecules being classified as hydrophilic and hydrophobic part 4

19
Q

Water molecules make a network of hydrogen bonds. Atoms or molecules that are charged or polar can interact either water molecules and are hydrophilic.

A

describing the structure of water and how the structure leads to other molecules being classified as hydrophilic and hydrophobic part 5

20
Q

Atoms of molecules that are charged or polar can interact either water molecules and are hydrophilic. Atoms that are uncharged disrupt the hydrogen bonding of water and are hydrophobic.

A

describing the structure of water and how the structure leads to other molecules being classified as hydrophilic and hydrophobic part 6

21
Q

Atoms that are uncharged disrupt the hydrogen bonding of water and are hydrophobic. water will push those molecules into a shape that disrupts the fewest hydrogens bonds (minimizing the surface area).

A

describing the structure of water and how the structure leads to other molecules being classified as hydrophilic and hydrophobic part 7

22
Q

It is energetically favorable for each water molecule in a solution to be able to make 4 hydrogen bonds. Hydrophilic molecules are charged or polar and will allow water molecules to hydrogen bond with them.

A

what makes a molecule hydrophilic

23
Q

Hydrophobic molecules are uncharged and water cannot form a hydrogen bond with them. Water molecules together (to reduce the surface area) to minimize the number of water hydrogen bonds that are broken,

A

what makes a molecule hydrophobic

24
Q

The reaction used to join a monomer to another monomer or a growing polymer. The chemical reaction that joins the two units joined together results in the formation of a water molecule.—- different types of monomers can combine in many configurations, giving rise to a diverse group of macromolecules

A

what are dehydration reactions and why are they important in biology

25
Q

The reverse of a dehydration reaction. A water molecule is broken down to break the bond between two sub units in a polymer, releasing one monomer. Each macromolecule is broken down by a specific enzyme

A

what are hydrolysis reactions and why are they important in biology

26
Q

combines with an hydroxyl group of another monomer releasing a molecule of water

A

dehydration synthesis

27
Q

means put together while losing water

A

dehydration synthesis

28
Q

catalyzed or sped up

A

hydrolysis reaction

29
Q

Because of the network of hydrogens in liquid water, it takes a large amount of heat energy to change to the temperature of water. This moderates the temperature of areas near water, causing it to be cooler during hot periods and warmer during cool periods, which allows living things in or near the water to not have to adapt to extreme tepreature

A

moderation of temperature in reference to water polarity and cohesion of water molecules makes water the solvent of life

Q

decay that gives off particles and energy. This decay can lead to a change in the number of protons in an atom, which will make a different element.

A

why radioactive isotopes are unstable isotopes where the nucleus decays spontaneously

40
Q

The network of hydrogen bonds in water allows water to be drawn upward, such as in the network of plants. The surface tension of water is also caused by hydrogen bonds.

A

adhesion and cohension of water molecules makes water the solvent of life

41
Q

interaction with hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions of macromolecules into a particular shape, which allows those macromolecules to have a biological function (examples: phospholipids assemble into membranes due to water, protein structure is also based off of interaction with water)

A
