Which of the following would make the best model of a water molecule?
Two small, plastic balls attached to a larger plastic ball by toothpicks
What is meant by unbound molecule?
An unbound molecule refers to a molecule that is not chemically or physically bound to any other molecule. It exists as an independent entity and is not part of a larger structure or compound. Examples of unbound molecules can include free-floating atoms or small molecules in the gas phase.

What types of molecules diffuse through the cell membranes by facilitated diffusion?
molecules that can survive the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer
How does things dissolve?
the atoms of the solute(substance getting dissolved) enter the inter-spaces between the atoms or molecules of the solvent .this is how things dissolve, small molecule take space in between the larger molecules and they intermix together. remember dissolving is a physical change not chemical.
How does a condensation reaction get its names?
A condensation reaction is one in which two or more molecules combine into a larger molecule often with the loss of a small molecule, such as water.
What makes water a excellent solvent?
Water is a good solvent due to its polarity. The single Oxygen molecule and two Hydrogen molecules do not share electrons equally, the Oxygen molecule takes precedent over the Hydrogen molecules. The Polarity and in some small part, the small molecular size makes water the, "Universal Solvent".
What is the difference between condensation and hydrolysis reactions?
Condensation and hydrolysis are almost like opposite reactions. In condensation, two molecules react to form one larger molecule while giving off a smaller molecule such as water (hence the term condensation). The reverse occurs in hydrolysis where a molecule such as water attacks a larger molecule that is susceptible to hydrolysis and breaks it down into two smaller molecules.

What are micromolecules?
Micromolecules are larger molecules joined together by smaller organic molecules .
Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm
A monomer is a single small molecule and a polymer is made of many small molecules How many small molecules are joined to form a dimer?

What moves faster large molecules or small molecules?
given the same amount of kinetic energy a smaller molecule would have a high velocity according to k=mv^2
