Enzymes
An important activator for an Enzyme?
What is Coenzyme?
The reaction polymers are made through.
What is the dehydration reaction?
The smallest individual units that have the properties of an element.
What is an atom?
A weak bond that is characterized by a partially positive hydrogen on one molecule and a partially negative atom such as fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen on another molecule.
what is a Hydrogen Bond?
The better fit the organisms are to their environment, the more likely they will have a higher survival and reproduction rate.
What is natural selection?
Proteins that speed up reactions by reducing the activation energy without being consumed in the reaction
What is an Enzyme?
Molecules that have the same molecular formula, but different structures.
What is structural Isomers?
Where an electron transfers/ donates to another because of attraction.
What is an Ionic Bond?
when water pulls apart the ions in an ionic bond.
What is dissociating?
When small groups break off from the species to form a new species.
What is peripatric speciation?
Where the substrate binds to the enzyme.
What is an active site?
These fats have the maximum number of hydrogens; they contain no double bonds.
What is Saturated Fats?
The mutual sharing of one or more electrons between two atoms
What is a covalent bond?
A pair of equal and oppositely charged poles separated by a distance.
What is a dipole?
When new species arise within the same geographic area as their parent species.
What is sympatric speciation?
Enzyme inhibitor that blocks the active site, and therefore cannot bind a substrate.
What is a Competitive Inhibitor?
The monomer building block for proteins
What is Amino acid?
The number of protons that an element contains in the nucleus ( which determines the chemical properties)
What is an atomic number?
When water pulls apart molecules from other molecules, and encircles them, while the covalent bonds within each molecule remain intact.
What is dissolving?
A population may gain or lose alleles when fertile individuals move in or out of a population
What is Gene flow?
The amount of energy required for molecules to be in their higher energy unstable state.
What is Activation energy?
Amphipathic molecules whose polar heads are hydrophilic and whose nonpolar fatty acid tails are hydrophobic.
What is phospholipids?
When atoms gain or lose electrons to attract the most stable electron shell configuration.
What is the octet rule?
The reactant when water dissociates into ions.
What is H20?
Any change in the DNA sequence of a cell.
What is Mutation?
