What is a monomer
Small, individual molecules which join together to form polymers.
What is a polymer
Large molecules made up of smaller, individual molecules called monomers.
Carboxyl group
COOH.
Hydroxyl group
OH.
Amine group
NH2.
Methyl group
CH3.
The type of bonding between water molecules
Hydrogen bonding.
5 properties of water
"Cohesive
Example of cohesion
Provides surface tension and allows columns of water.
Example of adhesion
Attraction between water molecules and the wall of the xylem.
Example of solvency
Dissolved substances in blood.
Example of specific heat capacity
Buffers changes in temperature to provide stable aquatic environment.
Example of latent heat of vapourisation
Cooling effect in animals and plants.
Components of ATP
"Adenine
Three differences between ATP and a DNA nucleotide
"ATP has ribose
Which enzyme catalyses hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi?
ATP hydrolase.
Which enzyme catalyses condensation of ADP and Pi to ATP?
ATP synthase.
Inorganic phosphate
Used to phosphorylate other compounds making them more reactive.

Components of ATP
"Adenine
Three differences between ATP and a DNA nucleotide
ATP has ribose,not deoxyribose; ATP has 3 phosphates, not 1 phosphate; ATP always has adenine
