Water World

3. Molecules that have hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties
6. Primary solvent for life
8. A weak acid-base pair that maintains pH stability in solutions
9. The main intermolecular interactions occurring between non-charged, non-polar molecules
12. These bonds are essential for maintaining the double-helix structure of DNA, holding the strands together
13. The property that water molecules are able to stick together
15. [BLANK] interactions are good in the context of biochemistry because they allow for dynamic and reversible interactions between molecules

1. Electrostatic interactions are strongest in this medium, with a dielectric constant of 1
2. in Coulomb's law, this constant accounts for the medium's effect on electrostatic interactions
4. Phospholipids form these structures in aqueous environments due to the hydrophobic effect
5. In Brownian motion, molecules bounce randomly based on a rate determined solely by [BLANK]
7. In protein folding, these amino acids tend to fold into the center of the protein, away from the aqueous environment
10. Hydrophobic molecules disrupt the [BLANK] of water
11. Scale used to simplify pH calculations
14. The atom in water that has a partial negative charge
