- The shape and function of the cell membranes depend on the interaction of polar water with non polar membrane molecules.
- Water helps cells:
- Maintain homeostasis
- Absorb heat slowly
- Maintain it’s energy larger
- Cohesion:
- Is an attraction between substance of the same kind
- Adhesion:
- Attraction between substances of the same kind
- Adhesion powers capillary action —> is when water molecules move upward through a narrow tube
- Attraction between substances of the same kind
- Water molecules:
- Surface are inked by hydrogen bonds; this attraction between water molecules causes a condition known as surface tension.
- Surface tension:
- Prevents the surface of the water from stretching or breaking easily
- Solution:
- Is a mixture when substance are evenly distributed in a mixture
- Polar (Hydrophilic):
- Dissolve in water
- Example:
- Salt and sugar
- Example:
- Ionic compounds and polar molecules dissolve in water
- Ions or molecules are evenly distributed in water
- Ions are attracted to the opposite charge of water
- Dissolve in water
- Non-polar (Hydrophobic):
- Does not dissolve in water
- Example
- Water and oil
- Water molecules are attracted more to each other than non polar
- Non-polar goes with non polar; water with water
- Does not dissolve in water
- Organic Compound:
- Are covalently bonded to other elements
- Example=
- Carbohydrates
- Carbon; Hydrogen; Oxygen
- 1:2:1
- Example=
- Are covalently bonded to other elements
- Monosaccharides:
- Single sugar building block of carbohydrates
- Example
- C6H12O6
- Example
- Single sugar building block of carbohydrates
- Disaccharides:
- Two monosaccharides joined
- Example
- Sucrose (table sugar)
- Example
- Two monosaccharides joined
- Polysaccharides:
- 3 or more monosaccharides joined.
- Store house of energy in sugars
- Cellulose is a polysaccharide a that provides structure for plant
- Example:
- Wood; humans cannot digest it.
- Macromolecule:
- A large molecule made of many smaller molecules
- Lipids:
- Non polar molecules
- Lipids in plants contain pigments
- Phospholipids:
- It is a lipid made of a phosphate group and two fatty acids
- Phospholipids make up the lipid bilayer
- Lipid Bilayer:
- It is a cell membrane the phophoslid are arranged in a double layer
- Non polar tails make up the interior of the lipid bilayer (where water is repelled) this allows the cell membrane to be selectively permeable
- Fructose and Glucose are arranged differently
- Sucrose = Fructose + Glucose
- Bonds between carbon hydrogen are rich in energy.
- Fats can store a lot of energy
- Steroids include cholesterol:
- Is found in animal cell membranes.
- Most carbon atoms are bonded to two hydrogen atoms
- H-C-H
