Nucleic Acid
Carbohydrate
Lipid
Protein
8
What makes a molecule "polar"?
Having water in it
Being made of more than one element
Having a positive and a negative end
Being frozen at low temperatures
9
Water having a high heat of vaporization means...
It takes a lot of energy to change the temp.
It will always be warm
It forms hydrogen bonds with other waters
It is organic
10
These are carbohydrates. How can you tell?

Our bodies can assemble some of the molecules it needs from materials in cells. Where do we get the other molecules?
Air
Water
Food
Decomposition
13
Enzymes and antibodies are examples of...
Lipids
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Nucleic Acids
14
How can you tell that these molecules all have different functions?
By the colors of the molecules
They are made of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen
They are all different shapes
Through experimentation
15
Why is adhesion important to living things?
It is made of hydrogen and oxygen
It takes a lot of energy to change the temperature
Water needs to stick to itself
It allows plants to uptake water into their leaves
16
What are all living things made of?
The macromolecules (organic molecules)
Carbon only
Just lipids and proteins
Water only
