properties of water
What is capillary action?
Amino acids are the base building block of this macromolecule
This speeds up chemical reactions without being consumed
What is enzymes
When an enzyme cannot continue serving its job
What is denaturalization?
The substance doing the disolving
What is cohesion?
What is Carbohydrates?
The ability of enzymes to bind to specific substrates
What is substrate specificity?
The measure of acidity or basicity
What is pH?
The mixture of solute and the solvent
What is solution?
When a molecule has a positive charge on one side and a negative charge on the other end
What is polarity?
Provides big amount of energy but also costs a lot of energy to break down
What is lipids?
What substrate model fits into active sites like a key into a loc
what is lock-and-key model?
The substance being dissolved
What is solute?
A molecule a enzyme acts upon
What is substrate?
The ability of water to resist external force and behave like a stretched elastic film
What is surface tension?
Stores genetic information for the body
What is nucleic acids?
This is where the substrate binds
Serves as long time energy storage
What is lipids?
A small building block of larger molecules
What is monomers?
The ability for water to take in large amounts of heat without experiencing a significant change in temperature
What is high specific heat?
What is ATP?
what is denaturalization?
A substrate that increase reaction rate without being used up
What is catalyst?
What is polymers?
