What type of chemical bond exists between a sugar molecule and the water in which it is dissolved?

What type of chemical bond exists between the oxygen and hydrogens WITHIN a single water molecule?
Polar covalent bond - The oxygen has a much stronger pull on electrons than the hydrogens do.

This allows water to hydrogen bond, which then leads to all of water's special characteristics.

Buffers combine reversibly with hydrogen ions.
True
The bicarbonate buffer system ( HCO3‒ + H+ ↔ H2CO3 ) is the most important buffer in blood.
True
Buffers minimize changes in the pH of a solution.
True - As the H+ concentration rises, the buffer accepts more H+, and as the H+ concentration falls, the buffer releases more H+ to maintain the solution at a constant pH.
A buffer consists of a weak acid and its corresponding base.
True - The acid donates H+ ions and the base accepts them to maintain the same concentration.
Each enzyme is suited to a particular physical and chemical environment. Enzymes can be deactivated by changes in temperature, pH, or ion concentration,
True. An enzyme's (or any protein's) function depends largely on its shape. Changes in the enzyme's environment can permanently disrupt its shape by breaking the bonds that maintain that shape.
Enzymes often change shape (reversibly and in a limited way) in the process of doing their jobs. But factors like excess heat or acid can cause them to lose their shape permanently.
True. As it works, an enzyme may change shape in a limited specific way. Changes in an enzyme's environment can cause it to come unfolded entirely.
Enzymes cause chemical reactions to happen dramatically faster than they would on their own.
True. Enzymes cause reactions to happen in a tiny fraction of a second which would often take days or years to occur otherwise.
An enzyme's function is determined by its shape and by the side chains of the amino acids in its active site where reactants bind.
True. Shape means everything in molecular biology.
In this diagram, the purple dots represent sugar molecules. If the membrane (dotted line) across the botom of the tube is permeable to water, but not permeable to the sugar, what will happen? Left side- less solute; more water right side- more solute; less water
Water will diffuse from the left to the right side until there is an equal concentration of water on both sides.
Human blood plasma is a 0.9% saline solution. If a patient is mistakenly given an IV of distilled water (pure water will no solutes), what is likely to happen to the patient's blood cells.
Water will flow into the cells, causing them to swell and burst. The cells' cytoplasm is isotonic with (has the same solute concentration) as) the blood plasma (~0.9%). The distilled water is hypotonic to the cell. (It has a lower solute concentration than the cells: ~0%.) The cells are hypertonic to the distilled water. (They have a higher soulute concentration than the water.) Because there is relatively more water where there is less salt, and vice-versa, water will flow into the cells, and they will swell up and burst.
A cotton bath towel (which is made of almost pure cellulose) soaks up water. Does this result ultimately from the polarity of water?
Yes- Cellulose is made of long chains of glucose molecules, which are polar & therefore hydrophilic
Ice floats, so the oceans don't freeze solid. Does this result ultimately from the polarity of water?
Yes- In solid ice, water molecules are locked into an orderly crystal pattern. At just above freezing, hydrogen bonding pulls the molecules slightly closer together. Ice is thus less dense than water and floats. This is vital for the survival of aquatic organisms, and because the oceans are central factors in the climate and weather
Sweating on a hot day helps you cool off. Does this result ultimately from the polarity of water?
Yes- Temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules within a substance (like a drop of sweat). Because the sticky hydrogen bonds between water molecules require energy to overcome, only those molecules with the greatest kinetic energy can escape into the vapor state. This lowers the average energy of the remaining water, and lowers its temperature.
Inland cities tend to have greater extremes in their high and low temperatures than cities on the coast. Does this result ultimately from the polarity of water?
Yes- Temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules within a substance (like an ocean). The sticky hydrogen bonds between water molecules require energy to overcome, which means that water can gain or lose large amounts of heat energy with only a slight change in its own temperature. This helps to smooth out temperature extremes in coastal areas compared to inland. The Earth's vast ocean areas are also the biggest factor by far in stabilizing a planet's climate.
Oil and water don't mix, but salt and water do. Does this result ultimately from the polarity of water?
Yes- The abundant carbon-hydrogen bonds in lipids like oil share electrons about equally, and therefore are nonpolar and don't interact well with polar water. Salt is composed of charged ions which are attracted to the oppositely (partially) charged areas of water molecules. The water molecules surround the ions and hold them in solution ALL of water's special properties are due to hydrogen bonding, which results from the polar covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen
Water beads up on the roof of a freshly waxed car (or on the waxy surface of a leaf). Does this result ultimately from the polarity of water?
Yes- Waxes are lipids, and therefore hydrophobic. Water's polarity gives it high surface tension, meaning that water is much more attracted to itself than to the waxy surface or to the air. This causes the surface to curl and bead up into droplets. (The waxy leaf surface also helps keep water inside the leaf, so the plant does wilt so easily.)

Ch3 Over the course of evolutionary time, animal body sizes have gotten larger, yet cell sizes have not. Elephant cells are about the same size as mouse cells, there are just a lot more of them. Cells have stayed proportionally the same size to remain efficient, because
larger cells would become limited by the ability to move materials across the plasma membrane. As cell size size increses, the volume of the cell grows much faster than the surface area. Very large cells would be unable to bring nutrients in or move wastes out fast enough. Multicellularity allows an organism to be much larger, while each of it's cells can still move things across the membrane efficiently.
