5 C1-300-The answer is… A bond in which electrons are shared. What is a covalent bond? Back
6 C1-400-The answer is… Water is an effective solvent because… It is a polar compound Back
7 C1-500-The answer is… This process breaks polymers into monomers Hydrolysis Back
8 C2-100-The answer is… The monomer of many polysaccharides glucose Back
9 C2-200-The answer is… The attractive force between unlike particles adhesion Back
10 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
11 C2-400-The answer is… Lipids are good energy storage molecules because They have many carbon-hydrogen bonds Back
12 C2-500-The answer is… Enzymes lower activation energy by Linking to the substrate and weakening it’s bonds Back

20 C4-300-The answer is… This reaction builds big molecules from smaller ones Condensation reaction Back
21 C4-400-The answer is… This describes something that repels water hydrophobic Back
22 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
23 C5-100-The answer is… The attraction of like particles cohesion Back
24 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
