Macromolecules
Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids & Nucleic Acids
What are the 4 macromolecules?
A protein that is a biological catalyst.
What is an enzyme?
All living things composed of cells, cells are basic structure & function of living things, all cells produced from other cells.
What is the cell theory?
Sour, can burn skin, turns BLUE litmus paper RED.
What is an acid?
Polar, universal solvent, surface tension, high specific heat, less dense as a solid.
What are the 5 properties of water?
Monosaccharides
Reusable, specific, lower activation energy, make materials, break down molecules to release energy.
What are the characteristics of Enzymes?
First scientist to use a compound microscope to see little rooms he called "cells" in 1665.
Who was Robert Hooke?
Bitter, Slippery, turned RED litmus paper BLUE
What is a base?
Formed between slightly positive hydrogen atoms & slightly negative atoms, responsible for the 5 properties of water.
What are hydrogen bonds?
Polypeptide
What is a polymer of proteins?
Lock & key Method, each enzyme catalyzes only 1 type of reaction.
What is induced fit?
Came to the conclusion that ANIMALS were made of cells in 1839 & did not understand where cells came from.
Who was Theodor Schwann?
Water is the ONLY example, pH 7
The attraction among molecules of different substances, water is "sticky" to lots of other substances.
What is the meaning of Adhesion?
Saturated Fats
What are animal fats?
Temperature, pH, Inhibitors.
What effects how an enzyme works?
Cells specialized to do certain tasks, included you as an example. "If your nerve & muscle cells aren't working, then neither are you"
What is multi-cellular organisms?
Human Blood, Bleach, Sodium Hydroxide are Examples.
What are examples of a base?
The attraction among molecules of a substance, Water + Water
What is the meaning of Cohesion?
Dehydration Synthesis
When water is LOST when monomers are joined together?
Substrate binds to active site on enzyme, substrate is changed, enzyme lets go & returns to normal, substrate is now called a product.
What is the process of how an enzyme works?
Use energy, grow & develop, respond to stimulus, reproduce offspring that resemble the parent.
What do all cells do?
The strength of an acid or base in a solution is measured on a scale.
What is the pH scale?
Water resists changes in temperature to keep homeostasis for the cells.
What is high specific heat of water?
