1. What is a DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS REACTION? Describe one specific example.
A dehydration synthesis reaction is used to bond monomers together to form a polymer. Water is formed as a product because an [-OH] group is removed from one monomer and attached to the [-H] removed from the other monomer - the H + OH bond together. ♦A PEPTIDE BOND attaches 2 amino acids together. ♦Glycerol is bonded to 3 FATTY ACIDS to form a triglyceride. ♦GLUCOSE and FRUCTOSE are bonded together [by PLANTS!] to form SUCROSE.

Explain ONE way that the COHESION property of water is important to organisms.
A. The water molecules in soil and throughout the body of a plant (roots, stems, leaves) are cohesive and stick together in long chains. At the same time, water molecules are adhesive and stick to the sides of the fine microscopic tubes (xylem) in the plant. As water molecules evaporate off the surface of the leaves, they pull on that long chain of water molecules and tug new water molecules into the roots. As long as transpiration (evaporation off of the leaves) is happening, water will be pulled into the roots and deep into the plant body. B. Since water molecules tend to stick together they will form larger and larger bodies of water where 60% of known species live.

BRIEFLY but precisely describe what happens in the ATP discharge/recharge reaction.
In the ATP discharge/recharge reaction, molecules of ADP are bonded to Phosphate groups using available cellular energy to form ATP. When energy is needed for cell jobs, the ATP is broken down to ADP and P. releasing energy for use in the cell. * STORE ENERGY in ATP when we have "extra" ENERGY. * RELEASE ENERGY when we need it later.

What is the difference between a saturated fat and an unsaturated fat?
SATURATED FATS have NO C=C, thus they are SOLID @ body temp; they can settle out and CLOG ARTERIES of the heart. UNSATURATED FATS have 1+ C=C and are LIQUID @ body temp. Which one do nutritionists think is the most healthy? UNSATURATED FATS. Why? UNSATURATED fats are liquid @ body temp; won't CLOG arteries and MAY actually CLEAR arterial fat deposits.

a. What does WORKING DISTANCE mean in microscopy? b. What measurement did your group get for LOW power?
WORKING DISTANCE (WD) means the distance between the end of the objective lens and the specimen when the specimen is in sharp focus. WD gets shorter as the magnification increases.
