What is atomic mass?

What does the atomic number mean?

Which shows correct Lewis dot structure?

What is the order of chemical bonding from strongest to weakest?

Water is a [blank_start]polar[blank_end] molecule. When water molecules stick together, it is called [blank_start]cohesion[blank_end]. When water molecules stick to other objects it is called [blank_start]adhesion[blank_end]. Capillary action is when water is soaked up in a plant through [blank_start]adhesion[blank_end] and [blank_start]cohesion[blank_end] working together. (hint for last part: alphabetical order)

Hydrophilic means __________________ Hydrophobic means _______________

When water molecules at the top of water cohere together to avoid outside molecules, it is called [blank_start]surface tension[blank_end].

What are the four essential organic compounds for life?

Carbohydrates create [blank_start]sugars[blank_end] for energy. Lipids store [blank_start]energy[blank_end] with fats. Proteins are important for the [blank_start]structure[blank_end] of cells. Nucleic acids contain the [blank_start]genetic[blank_end] code for cells.

What is the difference between phospholipids and triglycerides?

Deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid are two types of nucleic acids

Enzymes are biological [blank_start]catalysts[blank_end], which help to speed up metabolic reactions. Enzymes [blank_start]denature[blank_end] (lose characteristics) when the conditions are not right.

Enzymes will denature based off changes in

Enzymes have [blank_start]active[blank_end] sites. In these sites, [blank_start]substrates[blank_end] fit in and cause chemical reactions to occur. The speed of reaction can depend on the presence of [blank_start]inhibitors[blank_end].

Levels of protein structure: Primary - [blank_start]amino[blank_end] acid sequence Secondary - [blank_start]hydrogen[blank_end] bonds in peptide chain form alpha-[blank_start]helix[blank_end] and beta sheets. Tertiary - non-[blank_start]covalent[blank_end] interactions between [blank_start]variable[blank_end] group within protein Quaternary - interaction between [blank_start]two[blank_end] polypeptide chains

What two saccharides create lactose?

[blank_start]Waxes[blank_end] are lipids that [blank_start]waterproof[blank_end] plants.

Acids have less H+ ions and bases have more H+ ions

Whats the difference between dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis?

the pH scale is measured from 0-20
