Biochemistry

Polar Molecules

the unequal sharing of electrons, unevenly distributed charge

has a "v" molecular shape

Cohesion: when the hydrogen bonds hold a substance together

Adhesion: when one substance clings to another (helps counter the downward pull of gravity)

Surface Tension: a measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid

Specific Heat: the amount of heat needed for a substance to change it's temperature 1 degree Celsius

Heat of Vaporization: the amount of heat a liquid must absorb for 1g of it to go from liquid to gas

Evaporative Cooling: the molecules with the greatest chemical energy are the ones most likely to leave as a gas

(this contributes to the stability of temp in lakes and ponds) (dogs panting)

Water

Solution: homogenous mixture of 2 or more substances

Solvent: the thing being dissolved

Solute: substance that does the dissolving

Aqueous Solution: where water is the solvent

Hydration Shell: sphere of molecules around each dissolved ion

Molarity: the number of moles of solute per liter of solution

Carbon Skeletons:

Functional Groups

ATP
