ii. non-polar compounds (e.g., CO2, CH4, & other hydrocarbons);
4. polar compounds (H2O, C6H12O6 (glucose), & other carbohydrates).
11. Relate physical properties of water to its functional mechanisms.
1. dissolve hydrophilic molecules to form solutions
2. separate from hydrophobic molecules to form bubbles or droplets
3. cause molecules with both hydrophilic & hydrophobic parts to form micelles or bilayers
4. pressure gradients→ flow

12. Explain how water’s chemical reactivity causes pH
1. recognize relative pH values of acidic, neutral (pH 7), & basic solutions
2. chemical equilibrium at pH 7 107 H2O ↔ H3O+ + OH- 3. acids – e.g. hydrochloric acid (HCl)
4. bases – e.g. ammonia (NH3)
5. buffers – e.g. bicarbonate (HCO3- ) buffers extracellular (averages pH 7.4)
13. Use chemical equations to describe the roles for ATP.
1. cellular respiration of glucose: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2+ 6H2O + energy (to make ATP)
2. ATP synthesis: ADP + Pi + energy → ATP + H2O
3. ATP hydrolysis: ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + energy)
