The attractive force between unlike
particles
adhesion
Back
9
C2-300-The answer is…
This is what makes carbon a good
basis for organic molecules
The ability to form 4 bonds so it can
bond with many other atoms including
itself
Back
10
C2-400-The answer is…
Lipids are good energy storage
molecules because
They have many carbon-hydrogen
bonds
Back
11
C2-500-The answer is…
Enzymes lower activation energy by
Linking to the substrate and weakening
it’s bonds
Back
12
C3-100-The answer is…
Electrons are transferred in this type of
bond
ionic
Back
13
C3-200-The answer is…
The monomer of a protein
Amino acid
Back
14
C3-300-The answer is…
List one example of a monosaccharide,
a disaccharide, and a polysaccharide
Glucose, table sugar, pasta
Back
15
C3-400-The answer is…
This lipid is vital in the structure of the
cell membrane
phospholipid
Back
16
C3-500-The answer is…
Water can travel against gravity in
plants due to
Capillary action
Back
17
C4-100-The answer is…
This is the monomer of a lipid
Fatty acid
Back
18
C4-200-The answer is…
Organic molecules that catalyze
reactions
What is an enzyme?
Back
19

water
hydrophobic
Back
21
C4-500-The answer is…
Which part of the fatty acid is
hydrophilic and which is hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic – head or carboxyl
Hydrophobic – hydrocarbon tail
Back
22
C5-100-The answer is…
The attraction of like particles
cohesion
Back
23
C5-200-The answer is…
Why is water a polar molecule?
Oxygen end is a little negative and
hydrogen end is positive – uneven
charges
Back
24
C5-300-The answer is…
Molecules that have the same formula
but different structures are
isomers
Back
25
C5-400-The answer is…
What is the difference between a
saturated fat and an unsaturated fat?
Saturated: all C are surrounded by H –
single bonds
Unsaturated: C’s are not surrounded
by
BackH – double bonds
26
