| High specific heat | takes a lot of energy to change it. 1 Cal/gram/degree Celsius. Good stabilizer of temperature |
| High heat of vaporization | amount of heat needed to convert one gram of water to a vapor. In order to turn water into vapor, you have to break the hydrogen bonds |
| Freezing of water | water expands as it freezes because the bonds get farther apart. Water is densest at 4 Celsius |
| Water is densiest at | 4 Celsius |
| Water as a solvent | if water is solvent, then it's an aqueous solution. Water is the universal solvent |
| Water | universal solvent |
| Hydrocarbons | have hydrogen and carbon |
| Alkanes | alkeyenes, alkynes |
| Macromolecules | carbs, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids |
| 3 types of carbs | monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides |
| Monosaccharides | simple sugars. Example: glucose they have a carbon chain, come OHs and an aldehyde or a ketone |
| Monsaccharides are teh | building blocks of carbs |
| Alpha glucose | the oh's point in the same direction |
| In a beta glucose ring | the OHs point in a different direction |
