    1. Explain how carbon’s electron configuration and valence result in its ability to form large and complex organic molecules. These covalent bonds can be single, double, or triple bonds, but one carbon atom is limited to only 4 covalent bonds. It can bond with other carbon atoms and different atoms (H, O, N, P, S) to form long chains, ring shaped molecules, and branched/irregular shapes.…

    Dehydration-synthesis is a reaction that occurs to form different types of macromolecules. It is a reaction that leaves a macromolecule structure along the lines of developing its own specific function in a living organism. The 4 most common ones are carbohydrates which includes monosaccharides and polysaccharides, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids (Mack 2012). Scientists identify different types of macromolecules to achieve a better understanding on how they function in our bodies. This can be achieved by studying their chemical properties and structure.…

    The dehydration synthesis process is the process by which all organic compounds are bonded. The dehydration synthesis process takes the hydrogen (H) of one monomer, and the hydroxyl (OH) group of the another combines them to form water. With the removal of the water molecule, the two monomers are now able to make covalent bonds with each other and share electrons. Simply, the two monomers are being dehydrated to synthesize a bigger molecule. This process takes place in an enzyme that allows the process to quickly occur and create large strings of monomers, creating poly______ of the specific macromolecule. The reversion of this process is the process called hydrolysis. This process adds water back into the monomers, forcing them to break off…

    Fats and oils (lipids) are hydrophobic organic compounds, which are formed as a result of triesters of glycerol and three fatty acid chains (carboxylic-acids). These undergo a condensation reaction to form a triglyceride-molecule and the by-product, three molecules of water [1]. The general structure of triglyceride can be presented below:…

    The electron microscope shows the cell membrane to be a phosphor-lipid-protein-bi-layer. Small, fatty molecules in bi-layers are the lipids. Larger protein molecules are inserted at intervals or completely throughout the bi-layer. Phospholipids are lipid molecules. Phosphate head is water soluble and two lipid chains are soluble in water. The lipid chains face one another as the two layers are aligned. Tissue fluid, the fluid that surrounds the cells and the cytoplasm are both situated in watery environments which are placed next to the phosphate heads.…

    When we watched the stage play of Noli Me Tangere, I was excited but not until we knew that we were headed to the Star Theater, and not at the CCP Theater as we expected. When we got out of the bus, we brought or jackets with us because we expect it to be cold as the AFP Theater. But once we were inside, it was hot and eventually, we had to fan ourselves with the hand-outs that we bought. When the play started, I was a bit disappointed because some parts of the scene were just played with a projector. We thought it was very boring and uninteresting because of the lack of props. The last 2 years, we watched Ibong Adarna and Florante at Laura at the AFP Theater and they gave us their full performance which is interesting enough. While at the Star Theater, I really thought that it sucks compared to the AFP Theater. They lack in props (as I had already said) and even the ones that they have are old and looks battered. Their costumes look cheap and I don’t find it entertaining. They have a projector background and we thought it was so uncool. At the AFP Theater, they have backgrounds and props colorful and pretty enough to be entertaining for us. At the Star Theater, they even lack characters. In some scenes, I find it odd because it was different from what I’ve read and I was looking for my favorite chapters and lines and I found out it was the ones that they’ve cut. I really thought that it was poorly directed, though the characters portray their roles well and I found no fault in them. They are good at acting but sometimes their mic would just turn on and off at their slightest movements. Overall, I think it was a tiny bit unpleasant (no offense!) and I would prefer watching at the AFP Theater if given the chance. For me, everything was almost always out-of-placed, except for the characters. Well, at least they’re worth watching. They are the only ones that I liked at…
