Why does the shape of an enzyme matter?
It only acts on things that are a specific shape.

glycerol and fatty acids
A nucleotide is made of these 3 parts
sugar, base, phosphate
What is the purpose of a control?
Gives you something to compare to to see if the experiment actually changed something.

polymer of amino acid
protein
Write a hypothesis to relate the amount of time spent studying to the grade you will get on this test tomorrow.
If I study more, then I will get a better grade.
Why would a runner want to eat lots of pasta the night before a race?
