How Enzymes Work
1
A common source of vitamin D.
What are fish oil and some milk products? (Will also accept "made by your skin in the sun")
1
These nutrients have simple sugars as monomers, store energy, and are made of the elements C, H, and O.
What are carbohydrates?
1
This solution is blue, but turns purple if there are proteins present.
What is Biuret solution?
1
Enzymes are a biological one of these things that speed up reactions.
What are catalysts?
1
This is what enzymes do to make reactions happen faster.
What is lower activation energy. (will also accept, put stress on bonds)
2
The disease that causes bleeding gums and worse symptoms because of a lack of vitamin C.
What is scurvy. Bonus: What foods contain vitamin C?
2
The monomers of this nutrient are amino acids, and they are made of the elements C, H, O, and N.
What are proteins?
2
The nutrient present if iodine turns black.
What is starch?
2
The substance that bonds to the enzyme.
What is a substrate?
2
The temperature at which enzymes work fastest.
What are hotter temperatures?
3
The mineral that strengthens bones and teeth and is found naturally in milk, fish, and green vegetables.
What is calcium?
3
This is one of the many uses of protein in the body.
What is carry oxygen, act as an enzyme, etc.?
3
This nutrient dissolves in ethanol, but turns cloudy when you add water.
What is fat?
3
The part of the enzyme that the substrate bonds to.
What is the active site?
3
The pH at which enzymes work their best?
What is neutral? (Will accept: some work well in slightly basic conditions.)
4
The nutrient found in meats, cocoa, and eggs that is used in red blood cells and causes anemia when there is a deficiency.
What is iron?
4
These are made of fatty acid chains and glycerol, contain the elements C, H, and O, and are used for long term storage of energy.
What are fats?
4
The color Benedict's solution turns in the presence of most simple sugars when heated.
What is orange-red.
4
The substances on the left side of the following reaction equation: Water + Disaccharide -> Monosaccharide + Monosaccharide
What are reactants?
4
The change that happens to an enzyme during a reaction.
What is nothing/no change?
5
The disease caused by a lack of vitamin D or calcium that causes soft bones.
What is rickets? Bonus: What else can happen to your body if you don't have enough calcium?
5
These are foods that you can find 1) complex carbohydrates, 2) simple sugars, 3) protein, and 4) fats.
What is 1) potatoes or corn, 2) honey or juice, 3) meats or nuts 4) oils and butter. (and many more)
5
The test someone should use if they are trying to increase their protein intake.
What is Biuret?
5
The substances on the right side of the following reaction equation: Water + Disaccharide -> Monosaccharide + Monosaccharide
What are products
5
The energy that is usually used for activation energy.
What is natural heat energy?
