Monomer/Polymer
What is a monomer?
What is a polymer?
A monomer is one single molecule.
A polymer is multiple molecules known as monomers.
What are the 5 essential elements found in these 4 biomolecules?
Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Phosphorus
What is the Carbohydrate Function?
Source of fast energy. Main energy
What is an enzyme? Give me function and biomolecule?
An enzyme speeds up chemical reactions.
Enzymes are proteins.
What is denature?
Denature is when enzymes lose their shape and can no longer bind. They lose their function.
What is the monomer and polymer of a carbohydrate?
Monomer: monosaccharide
Polymer: polysaccharide
What elements make up a lipid?
C, H, O aka "CHO"
What is the Lipid Function?
Source of long term energy
insulation
What is a substrate?
Binds to an enzyme
What is an inhibitor?
An inhibitor prevents an enzyme and substrate from binding in the active site.
What is the monomer and polymer of a nucleic acid?
Monomer: nucleotide
Polymer: DNA and RNA
What elements make up a protein?
C, H, O, N aka "CHON"
What is the Protein Function?
Growth
Muscle Development
Repair (ex.immune system)
What is an active site?
Active site is where an enzyme and a substrate bind together.
Enzymes end in what 3 letter?
-ase
What is the monomer and polymer of a protein?
Monomer: amino acid
Polymer: polypeptide
What is the Nucleic Acid composition?
C, H, O, N,P aka "CHONP"
What is the Nucleic Acid Function?
Can enzymes be used over again? Until when?
Yes enzymes can be used over and over again, until they denature.
What 2 conditions can affect an enzyme and how?
pH and temperature: too high or too low can denature the enzyme
What is the monomer and polymer of lipids?
Monomer: fatty acids
Polymer: triglyceride
What elements make up a carbohydrate?
C, H, O aka "CHO"
Give me an example for each Biomolecule? (food)
Carbohydrates: pasta, bread, starch, energy drinks, candy
Protein: meat, eggs, enzymes
Lipids: avocadoes, oils, waxes
Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA
After an enzyme and a substrate combine in the active site, what is the outcome of that bonding? What results from that?
Products are formed.
What are the 2 types of inhibitors and what do they do?
Non-competitive inhibitor: bind to the allosteric site of an enzyme to alter the active site
Competitive inhibitor: inhibitor competed with substrate for the active site
