100
This is the monomer of proteins.
What are amino acids?
100
DNA and RNA are examples of this macromolecule group.
What are nucleic acids?
100
This is the energy used in a cell.
What is ATP?
100
Enzymes are members of this macromolecule group.
What are proteins?
100
Enzymes are catalysts, which means they do this.
What is speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy?
200
This is the monomer of carbohydrates.
What are sugars?
200
This macromolecule is used for energy storage and insulation.
What are lipids (fats)?
200
Cholesterol is a member of this macromolecule group.
What are lipids (fats)?
200
This is the energy needed to start a chemical reaction.
What is activation energy?
200
An enzyme prefers a pH between 8 and 9, so it prefers this type of environment.
What is basic?
300
If a compound is organic, it contains this.
What is Carbon?
300
This macromolecule contains the body's genetic information.
What are nucleic acids?
300
These are the 3 things included in a nucleotide.
What are sugar, base, and phosphate?
300
These 2 things will affect the reaction rate the MOST.
What re temperature and pH?
300
This analogy is used to describe the "specificity" of an enzyme binding to its substrate.
What is a lock and key analogy?
400
This is the monomer of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
400
These are the 4 macromolecules.
What are: nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins?
400
An enzyme prefers a pH between 3 and 4, so it prefers this type of environment.
What is acidic?
400
This is the term used to describe the "best" conditions for an enzyme to function.
What is OPTIMAL?
400
This will happen if the pH or temperature of an enzyme changes.
Why will the enzyme become DENATURED?
500
This is the definition of a monomer.
What are the building blocks of polymers?
500
Starch stores sugar in plants, so it belongs to this macromolecule group.
What are carbohydrates?
500
Cellulose is found in the cell walls of plants, and stores glucose, so it is a member of this macromolecule group.
What are carbohydrates?
500
The area where the specific substrate binds to the specific enzyme is called this.
What is the active site?
500
Enzymes are reusable over and over again, unless this happens to them.
What is to become denatured?
