|
Water molecules held together by what bonds
|
H(polar covalent) and split second H bonds
|
|
Thermal Props of H2O
|
-High specific heat (absorbs/gives off lots of heat w/out changing temp)
-Water content as temp stablizer -Absorbs great deal of heat when evaporated |
|
What is cohesion?
|
-When molecules of the same type are attracted to each other
|
|
Cohesive properties of H20
|
-H20=highly cohesive (Due to polar covalent bonding)
Explains: -water spill : comes tog. -surface tension: "Walk on water" -How able to move in column in plant vascular tissue. |
|
Solvent Properties of H20
|
-Water is excellent solvent of other polar molecules
-Lipids however are not polar and body has way of dealing with. |
|

|
|
Three functions of lipids
|
1.energy storage
2.thermal insulation-blubber 3.Phospholipids make up a bilayer to form a cell membrane |
|
Compare the use of carbohydrates and lipids in energy storage
|
Lipids store about twice as much energy as carbohydrates
Lipids are used for long-term energy storage whereas carbohydrates are used for short-term energy storage Lipids are insoluble whereas carbohydrates are often soluble. This means that lipids do not have an osmotic effect on organisms. |
|
Names molecules and subcomponents
|
-carbs (Monosaccharides)
-Lipids (Glycerol and fatty acids) -Proteins (amino acids) -Nucelic acids (Nucelotides) |
|
Glucose (mono) Function?
|
Chemical fuel for cell respiration
|
|
Lactose (di) function?
|
Makes up some of the solutes in milk
|
|
Glycogen (Poly) function?
|
Stores glucose in liver and muscles
|
|
Fructose (mono) function?
|
Found in many fruits (makes sweet)
|
|
Sucrose (Di) function?
|
Often transported from leaves of plants to other locations in plants by vascular tissue
|
|
Cellulose (poly) function?
|
One of the primary components of plant cell walls
|
|
What is a triglyceride lipid in solid form? Liquid?
|
Fat/oil
|
|
Lipids?
|
Efficent molecules for storing energy
|
|
