Enzymes
This term describes a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process
Enzymes
This scientist is credited with formulating the theory of natural selection through his observations on the Galapagos islands
Charles Darwin
This is the simplest type of chemical substance consisting entirely of one atom
Element
This bio molecule is the primary source of energy found in most cells and is commonly found in foods like pasta, bread and rice
Carbohydrates
This is the first step of the scientific method Where the researcher observes something and makes a question about it
Observation
This is the specific name given to the specific location a enzyme occurs
The active site
This term describes the natural process by which advantageous traits become more common in a population over generations
Natural selection
This type of chemical reaction involves the exchange of electrons between two molecules, often resulting in the oxidation of one molecule and the reduction of another.
Redox reaction
This type of biomolecule is essential for building cellular structures and performing bodily functions, including enzymes
Proteins
These molecules increase enzyme activity by binding to a site other than the active site
Allosteric activators
This concept suggests that species evolve the most significant differences not from pressures of natural selection alone but also three periods of little to no change punctuated by rapid evolution
Punctuated equilibrium
This term describes the amount of disorderliness or randomness in the system which increases in a spontaneous process, according to the laws of thermodynamics
Entropy
This type of bio molecule found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells contains the genetic instruction material for the replication of the cell
DNA
This type of inhibition occurs when the inhibitor binds only to the enzyme substrate complex
Uncompetitive inhibition
This term refers to the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic make up of a species serving as a way for populations to adopt to a environment.
genetic diversity
This class of organic compounds contain only carbon and hydrogen With the carbons join together in a chain that can be straight or branch without any other types of atoms
Alkanes
This type of bio molecule is characterized by its in solubility in water and includes Fat, oils and steroids. They play key roles in energy storage.
Lipids
Named after two scientists, this equation describes the rate of enzyme catalyzed reaction depends on the concentration of substrate present.
the Michaelis-Menten equation
These structures found in animals Share a common ancestral origin but may serve different functions highlighting the concept of divergent evolution
Homologous structures
This rule states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell giving it the same electron configuration as a noble gas
Octet rule
This type of RNA has the job of transferring amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis interpreting the mRNAs code into a sequence of amino acids
tRNA
