100
These are the weak bonds that form between water molecules and give water its unique properties.
What are hydrogen bonds?
100
This macromolecule is associated with the storage of high amounts of energy?
What is a lipid?
100
This is a monomer of a protein.
What is an amino acid?
100
This molecules lowers the activation energy of biological chemical reactions, which allows the reaction to occur much faster.
What is an enzyme?
200
This property of water is occurs when water molecules stick to each other.
What is cohesion?
200
This macro-molecule is used as a quick source of energy, but also structurally.
What is a carbohydrate?
200
This is a monomer of a carbohydrate.
What is monosaccharide?
200
Enzymes, are this type of macro-molecule.
What is a protein?
300
An example of this property of water is when a meniscus forms at the surface of water in a test tube.
What is adhesion?
300
This macro-molecule stores information that gets past from one generation to the next.
What is a nucleic acid?
300
This is a monomer of nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
300
This is the molecule that the enzyme binds to to either break down or put together.
What is substrate.
400
This explains how water can defy gravity and climb up a substance (due to the combined forces of adhesion and cohesion).
What is capillarity or capillary action?
400
This marco-molecule consists of many amino acids strung together. It is also what we see when we look at an organism (an assemblage of tissues).
What is a protein?
400
This is a polymer of carbohydrates.
What is a disaccharade or poly saccharide?
400
This is the location where the substrate binds to the enzyme in a very specific fashion.
What is active site?
500
The ability of water to dissolve a large variety of substances is by its called the ______ of life.
What is solvent?
500
All macro-molecules consist of these small units referred to as this.
What are monomers?
500
This is a polymer of a lipid.
What is triglyceride?
500
This is a biological model that is used to illustrate how enzyme functions ( reflects the specificity of enzymes)
What is the induced fit or lock and key model?
