How do enzymes speed up chemical reactions?
Lowering the amount of activation energy.
This cell has no nucleus and its DNA floats freely in the cytoplasm.
Prokaryotic
This organelle controls the cell's activities and houses the DNA.
Nucleus
Function of Proteins.
Monomer:
Polymer:
Elements:
Structure, Enzymes, and gene expression.
Amino Acids
Polypeptide or protein
CHON
Function of Nucleic Acids.
Monomer:
Polymer:
Elements:
Genetic Code (DNA)
Nucleotide
DNA, RNA, or ATP
CHONP
The area of the enzyme where the chemical reaction takes place.
The active site.
This cell contains a nucleus that stores its DNA.
Eukaryotic
This organelle produces energy for the cell through cellular respiration.
Mitochondia
Connective tissue is a primary type of animal tissue that supports and protects organs in the body. What biomolecule makes up this type of tissue?
Protein.
All organisms have a unique type of this biomolecule. This is what separates everyone from one another. What biomolecule is this?
Nucleic Acids
An enzyme has an optimum temperature of 45°C. At 20°C it works slowly, at 45°C it works rapidly, and at 75°C it stops functioning permanently. Explain why.
Enzymes only work within specific temperatures.
A scientist observes a cell with membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and a Golgi apparatus.
Eukaryotic
This organelle is the site where proteins are assembled.
Ribosomes
Lipids.
These biomolecules regulate cell processes. What BIOMOLECULE is this?
Proteins
Pepsin is an enzyme release from your stomach that help break down proteins. Would this enzyme function if it was instead located in your mouth, explain your answer/
No, the pH of your stomach and mouth are different.
This cell is small, simple, and lacks membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotic
This organelle forms a protective boundary and controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Cell Membrane
Chickens are fast organisms that burn through a lot of their energy source. What biomolecule do chickens consume in order to have large amounts of energy to run quickly.
Carbohydrates
DNA is an what makes you unique. What biomolecule makes up DNA?
Nucleic Acids
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down Lactose into a usable form for the body. If Lactase begins to denature (break down) what would happen to the levels of Lactose, explain.
The levels of lactose will begin to increase because they are not being broken down by lactase.
A student identifies chloroplasts and a large central vacuole in a cell.
Eukaryotic (Double points if you said Plant cell as well)
This organelle contains chlorophyll and converts sunlight into chemical energy.
Chloroplast
