nucleus

helps control movement, digestion, and reproduction of cell

what percent of total body weight is water?

60-70%

what type of molecule is water and why?

it's a polar molecule because oxygen has a negative charge and hydrogen has a positive charge

what are hydrogen bonds?
it's a bond that connects a positive hydrogen to a negative atom

ions and molecules that interact with water are said to be?

hydrophilic

nonionized and nonpolar molecules that do not interact with water are said to be?

hydrophobic

what percent of blood is water?

92%

how does water protect us from rapid temperature changes?

it takes a calorie of heat energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1°C which is double the amount required for other liquids and it holds onto heat so its temperature falls slowly

how does water keep you cool?

when you sweat the water takes away body heat by using it to evaporate itself

NaCl + H2O = solution


which one is the solute and which one is the solvent?

NaCl is the solute and H2O is the solvent

what do organic molecules always contain

carbon and hydrogen

list 4 polymers and 4 monomers

polymer: carbohydrate, protein, nucleic acid, lipids



monomer: monosacccharide, amino acid, nucleotide, fatty acid

list 3 monosaccharides and 3 disaccharides

monosaccharide: glucose, fructose, galactose



disaccharide: maltose, sucrose, lactose

list 3 polysaccharides

starch, glycogen, cellulose

what is the difference between a saturated and unsaturated molecule

a unsaturated has a double bond between 2 carbon atoms

what are the two types of nucleic acids

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)



RNA (ribonucleic acid)

what is the empirical formula of a carbohydrate

CnH2nOn

what is the function of phospholipids

they form the phosolipid bilayer of the plasma membrane and make it selectively permeable to solutes such as proteins, ions and water

what is the function of steroids

it can act as a hormone,regulate carbohydrate metabolism, and maintain blood pressure

what type of bond does hydrogen and oxygen have in H2O

they have a covalent bond

name the parts of the amino acid
name the parts of the fatty acid
name the parts of the glucose molecule
name the part of the glycerol molecule
what are buffers and how do they work
a buffer is a chemical or a combination of chemicals that keeps pH within normal limits. buffers resist pH changes because they can take up excess hydrogenions (H) or hydroxide ions (OH).
give an example of a buffer
our blood contains large amounts of carbonic acid, a weak acid, and bicarbonate, a base. together they help maintain the bloods pH at 7.4. if blood pH falls below 6.8 or rises above 7.8, one can become sick or die. the bicarbonate neutralizes excess acids in the blood while the carbonic acid neutralizes excess bases.
what is the macromolecule when a bunch of the same monomers join together
polymer
what is the function of carbohydrates
they provide energy for your body
what is the function of lipids
they store energy
what is the function of proteins
-keratin which makes up hair and nails
-collagen, which lends support to ligaments, tendons, and skin
-act as hormomes
-proteinsactin and myosin account for the movement of cells and the ability of our muscles to contract
-hemoglobin transports oxygen
-antibodies in blood and other body fluids are proteins that combine with foreign substances, preventing them from destroying cells and upsetting homeostasis
-form channels that allow substances to enter and exit
-carriers that transport mole-cules into and out of the cell
-enzymes
what is the function of nucleic acids
carry genetic information in the cell
