Enzymes, Dehydration Synthesis, and Hydrolysis

Video 1: Enzyme video from class

Video 2: Enzymes
                            However he is using substrate as both a reactants (what going into a chemical
                            reaction) and how we talked about substrate in class (the definition you need to
                            know). We call a substrate the object that is going into an enzyme that is going to be
                            broken apart by (Hydrolysis) or put together by Dehydration Synthesis.

Properties of Water Lab

Watching videos = lab & assessments will be easier

Polarity ~ 4 minutes

Hydrophobic vs Hydrophilic:  Definition ~ little over 3 minutes
                                                     Example ~ 3 minutes
              
Adhesion, Cohesion, Surface Tension  ~ 2 minutes

Videos that answer questions to the lab:
   Part 1:  Why is water a good solvent?
   Part 2:  Adhesion, Cohesion, and Surface tension (talks about penny example)
   Part 4: Pic below
