PROTEINS
The small compounds that make up a protein
What is an amino acid?
The functions of carbohydrates
What is providing structural support and stores energy?
A molecule made mostly of carbon and hydrogen that make up the fats, oils, and waxes
What is a lipid?
A basic model used to show the bonding of enzymes and substrates through the active site
What is the lock and key model?
The two types of nucleic acids found in living organisms
What is RNA and DNA?
An example of a protein
(only have to say one) What are enzymes, hemoglobin, collagen, insulin, or antibodies?
The monomers of carbohydrates
What are monosaccharides?
The primary function of lipids
What is to store energy?
The biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions in biological processes
What is an enzyme?
The weak bond holding together water molecules
What is a hydrogen bond?
The bonds holding amino acids together
What are peptide bonds?
The monosaccharide that plays a central role as an energy source for organisms
What is glucose?
Lipids serve as this in biological membranes
What is a barrier?
The reactants that bind to the enzyme
What are substrates?
The energy molecule that occurs once glucose is broken down
What is ATP?
The 3-4 elements are amino acids are made up of
What is carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sometimes sulfur?
The longer carbohydrate molecule
What is a polysaccharide?
Fatty acids made up of single bonds
What are saturated fats?
3 main factors that affect enzyme activity
What are the pH, temperature, and concentration of the enzyme?
A strong bond that holds together hydrogen and oxygen molecules
What is a covalent bond?
The main 3 functions of proteins in the human body
What is to provide structure, function, and to regulate body tissue and organs?
The general formula for a carbohydrate
Fats where two of the carbons are connected by a double bond, and two of the hydrogens are missing
What is an unsaturated fat?
Causes enzymes to become unactive, and stop functioning due to active site changing shape
What is to denature?
The three basic units of nucleotides
What are phosphate, a nitrogenous base, and ribose sugar?
