Elements in Lipids- Carbon, hydrogen, and small amounts of oxygen
Functions-Used for energy storage, insulation and protective coverings
Examples-oils, waxes and steroids

Lipids are insoluble in water which means their molecules are nonpolar.

- A Molecule is a group of atoms bonded together.
-A Covalent Bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons.

Examples:
- Sugar
- Fats
- Protein
- Water

Which four elements make up 96% of the human body?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen
Define/describe ATOMS:
They are small particles that are the basic building blocks of all matter.
Identify/describe the CHARGE and LOCATION of EACH of the following:
Protons: Positive and in the nucleus
Neutrons: Neutral and in the nucleus
Electrons: Negative, outside of the nucleus
Which claim is true: Elements make-up atoms, -OR- Atoms make-up elements.
Atoms make-up elements because elements are made up of atoms.

What elements are found in carbohydrates?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
What are the functions of carbohydrates?

What is a solution?
- A mixture in which on or more substances (solutes) are distribtued evenly in another substance (solvent)
Examples
Solute
- Substance disolved in the solvent
Solvent
-Liquid that disolves a solute
Two reasons solutions are important to life
- They allow important substances like vitamans, water, and salt to move through your body
- Helps delute/defuse things like if you have to much salt, if you add water it will disolve the salt

Define/Describe a polar molecule: A molecule with an unequal distribution of charge; that is each molecule has a positive end and a negative end.

Since water is polar and has positive and negative ends, it can attract many ionic compounds such as salt and many other polar molecules such as sugar.
