NGSS.HS-LS1-1

Glycerols and Fatty Acids are the primary components of this biomolecule which provides long term energy storage for living organisms.

• Protein

• Lipid

• Carbohydrate

• Nucleid Acid

This property of water enables water molecules to stick to each other creating surface tension

• Adhesion

• Polarity

• Cohesion

• High Specific Heat

Transmitting genetic information is the primary function of this class of biomolecules whose monomer is nucleotides

• Protein

• Nucleic Acids

• Carbohydrate

• Lipid

NGSS.MS-LS3-1

This property of water allows water molecules to stick to everything else. example steam sticking to the mirror after a shower

• Cohesion

• Polarity

• High Specilic Heat

• Adhesion

This class of biomolecules makes up cell membranes and is not water soluable

• Nucleic Acid

• Lipids/Phospholipids

• Carbohydrate

• Protein

Fish are able to remain alive during extremely cold winters when ice forms on top of lakes is an example of which property of water

• Cohesion

• Water expands and rises when it freezes

• Adhesion

• Polarity

Enzymes are biological catalysts which

• makes solutions acidic or basic

• Increase the solubility of liquids

• Slows down the digestion of proteins

• Lower the activation energy of and speed up the rate of chemical reactions
