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
DNA (stand for)
Deoxyribo
