1. lattice crystal allows ice to float in water
2. What has cohesive and adhesive prop- water
erties?
3. What allows water to act as a versatile polarity
solvent?
4. results of polarity of water hydrogen bonding, HIGH specific
heat value, versatile solvent prop-
erties
5. Carbohydrates long chains, or polymers, of sugars
6. purpose of carbohydrates: storage, structure, and energy
7. form the backbone of DNA and RNA Carbohydrates
8. Lipids fatty acids, phospholipids, and
steroids
9. Fatty Acids saturated and unsaturated fats
10. saturated fats contain no double bonds, are solid
at room temp, cardiovascular prob-
lems
11. unsaturated fats have one or double bond, liquid at
room temp
12. Phospholipids two fatty acids of varying length
bonded to a phosphate group
13. Phospholipids qualities can organize in a way that creates
a barrier that protects the cell
14. steroids precursor to significant hormones
and drugs
15. nucleic acids

components of the molecules of in-
heritance
16. DNA contains the code for replication
17. RNA used to transfer information from
DNA to protein level and as a mes-
senger in most species of genetic
code
18. Metabolism sum of all chemical reactions
19. metabolic pathways chemical reactions take place in a
series of steps from a standpoint of
high energy to low energy
20. Enzymes Catalysts for chemical reactions in
living things
21. prokaryotic cells lack a defined nucleus and do
not contain membrane-bound or-
ganelles
22. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other mem-
brane-bound organelles
23. Nucleus contains the DNA of the cell
24. Chromosomes contain all of the genetic informa-
tion for the regeneration of the cell
25. Ribosomes read the RNA produced in the nu-
cleus; can be found in two locations
(BOUND=ER) and (FREE=CYTO-
PLASM), protein synthesis
26. Rough ER covered with ribosomes that are re-
sponsible for protein synthesis
27. Smooth ER
