Water
Adhesion- water is attracted to other substances.
Cohension- water is attracted to water.
Polarity- water has a simple molecular structure. It is composed of 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms.
Heat Storage- This is the ability to control temperatures enables cells to maintain a constant internal temperature when the external temperature changes drastically.
Ph scale- The Ph scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in solutions on a scale between 0-14.
Cohesion & Adhesion
I put this picture to shoe in cohesion water sticks with water and in adhesion water sticks with other objects.
PH Scale
This shoes what the PH scale looks like and how it is ranked.
Heat Storage
This shows how heat is stored.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are energy-providing nutrients. The body receives 4 calories per 1 gram of carbohydrates consumed. Carbohydrates are separated into simple carbohydrates ,sugar complex carbohydrates fiber and starch.
Your body uses carbohydrates to make glucose which is the fuel that gives you energy and helps keep everything going.
Examples: Fruits, vegetables, breads, milk, cereal, and other grains
Carbs
This shows the symbol for carbohydrates
Simple Carbohydrates
This explains what simple carbohydrates and and what some examples are.
Carbohydrates
Grain in a main carbohydrate
Macromolecules
A macromolecule is a molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
Examples: Proteins and nucleic acids.
Examples: Proteins and nucleic acids.
Macromolecules
All of these pictures show the structure of a macromolecule.
Proteins
Proteins are complex molecules that help your body perform a variety of biological functions. There are five different types of proteins. Those five types are: structural, storage, hormonal, enzyme and immunoglobin proteins.
"The protein"
This shows the molecular structure of the protein.
Yum
These items give you protein.
Types
This is a chart of the types of proteins and how they function wit some examples.
Lipids
Lipids are a group of naturally molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, K.
Structure
This is the structure of a lipid.
Examples
These are an example of lipids, lipids are fattening food objects.
How it looks
This is what a lipid would look like if it was put under a microscope.
Nucleic acids
Nucleic acids are large biological molecules essential for all known form of life like DNA, RNA, Monomers.
Structure
These are the structure for RNA and DNA.
Oranges
Oranges are high in nucleic acids.
Nucleotide
This is the nucleotide structure that we learned and worked with in class.
