solutes
a_releases a hydrogen ion when it dissolves in water
acid
_
– High H+ concentration
– PH less than seven; lower the number the more acidic
acid
a_Removes hydrogen ions from a solution
base
_
– Low H+ concentration
– PH greater than seven; higher the number the more basic
base
a_solution has a pH of 7
neutral
what is an example of a neutral solution or a solution that has a pH of 7?
pure water
all living organisms contain_; because of this they are said to be organic
carbon
_ the only element that can support life as we know it
carbon
carbon can easily bond to each other; forming_chains,chains and. It has four bonding sites
- straight
- branched
- rings
_Are the largest molecules in living organisms
macromolecules
_Are the smallest unit that a macromolecule can be broken down into
monomer
what are the four macromolecules?
carbohydrates, lipids and fats, proteins, nucleic acid
_ – Supply energy; found in plants – Monomer=a monosaccharide (most common is glucose. C6H12O6) – Polysaccharide=Starches – Disaccharide=sucrose
carbohydrates
