properties of water
water dissolves many polar and ionic substances like salt and sugar
universal solvent
Large molecule made of repeating monomers
Polymer
Substance that increases reaction rate without being used up
Catalyst
Main source of quick energy
Carbohydrate
Change in enzyme shape that reduces function
Denaturation
what causes water molecules to form attractions with each other
what are hydrogen bonds?
which macromolecule contains enzymes is made from amino acids
what are proteins?
what part of an enzyme does the substrate attach to?
what is the active site
what the oragnelle produces most of the ATP used for energy carrying molecule in cells?
What is ATP?
What is the process where water molecules stick to each other helping water move through plants?
What is cohesion?
why can water absorb a large amount of heat without its temp changing quick?
what is high specific heat?
what type of marmolecule includes fats, oils, and phospolipids?
what are lipids?
how do enzyemes speed up chemical reactions?
what is lowering the activation site?
during photosynthetic what molecule is produced and can later be used as an engery source?
What is glucose?
The movement of particles from high ton low concentration
what is diffusion?
What are cohesion and ahesion?
this macromolecule stores genetic information and includes DNA and RNA
What are nucleic acids?
A high fever can cause enzymes to stop working properly by changing their shape
What is enzyme denaturation?
this type of molecule contains carbon atoms and is commonly found in living organism
What is a carbon-based molecule?
this type of molecule can contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and its structure helps determine whether it provides quick energy, stores energy, or forms part of a cell membrane
What are biological macromolecules?
This property of water allows it to resist sudden changes in temperature helping organisms maintain a stable internal temperature
What is high specific heat?
This macromolecule is found in the cell membrane and helps control what enters and leaves the cell
What are phospholipids?
This factor can affect how quickly an enzyme works by changing the amount of substrate available to bind to the enzyme
What is substrate concentration?
a cell suddenly stops producing ATP what could happen to the cell and why
What is that the cell would lose the energy needed for important processes and could eventually stop functioning?
A scientist compares two enzymes Enzyme A works best at 37°C, while Enzyme B loses most of its activity at 37°C. Which factors should the scientist investigate to explain the difference in enzyme activity?
What are temperature and pH?
