NGSS.HS-LS1-6

breaks polymer into monomer

• hydrolysis

• macromolecule

• solvent

• polymer

many monnomers bonded

• macromolecule

• organic compounds

• monomer

• polymer

water is attracted to itself

• * helps with capillarity

• * keeps cells at a constant temperature

• cohesion

• monomer

• capillarity

• adhesion

water is attracted to other surfaces

• * helps with capillarity

• cohesion

• adhesion

• monomer

• hydrolysis

has a slight (+) charge and a slight (-) charge at the opposite ends

• capillarity

• organic compous

• inorganic compounds

• polarity (polar compound)

ability of water to move up against gravity

• * leaves get water for photosynthesis

• polymer

• hydrolysis

• capillarity

• macromolecule

bonds monomers to make polymers

• condensation reaction/dehydration synthesis

• density

• solvent

• adhesion

ice is less dense than a liquid

• * life can survive under ice

• monomer

• density

• hydrolysis

• solvent

water makes other subsstances dissolve

• * all chemical reations in cells happen in water

• cohesion

• hydrolysis

• capillarity

• solvent
