• Held together by magnetic attraction

• Cause: 1 atom may steal an electron from another

• Ion: + or – charged atom

Water Properties

• High specific heat: Resists temperature changes• A lot of energy is needed to break

bonds between water molecules• Helps to maintain a constant body

temp (Homeostasis)

• Cohesion: polar water molecules attracted to other polar water molecules

• Adhesion: polar water sticks to other molecules

Why can this insect walk on water?

It is not heavy enough to break the bonds that hold the water molecules together.

Lipids

Lipid Structure• Monomer: Fatty Acid

• Polymer: Lipid

• Examples: Fats, Oils, Waxes

• Phospholipid Structure (3 parts):• “Head” of glycerol & phosphate(polar) • “Tail” of 2 fatty acids (non-polar)

• Make up the cell membrane

Phospholipid

Glycerol molecule

Triglyceride:

• Structure (2 parts)• “head” = glycerol• “Tail” = 3 fatty acids

• Function• Provide Energy for cells• Insulation• Cholesterol: Gives cell membrane flexibility

Lipid Structure

Saturated Fats

• Long chain of carbon bonds (all single bonds)

• Each C is “saturated” with H atoms

• Single bonds are easier to compact = solid at room temps

• Very common in animal fats

Fats and oils have different types of fatty acids.

think

Unsaturated Fats

• Long chain of carbon bonds (some double bonds)

• Double bonds• Prevent H from attaching• make “kinks”, which are not easily compacted = Liquid at room temps

• Common in Plant fats

ENZYMES

Chemical Reactions

• Energy stored in chemical bonds• When bonds broken = Energy released (heat & light)

• Activation Energy: amount of energy needed to start a reaction

Enzymes• Catalyst: substance that decreases the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction• Speeds up reaction

• Enzymes are catalysts in living organisms.

Enzyme Structure• Enzyme shape allows specific reactants to bind together

• Reactants = substrate• Ex: Amylase & starch: Starch is the substrate because it binds to amylase

• Substrates binds to activation sites on the enzyme (key fitting into a lock)

• Once binded to enzyme, substrates bonds break• Substrates form new bonds (product)
