Enzymes
What type of biological molecule are enzymes?
What are proteins?
Glucose is an example of what type of molecule because it is a single sugar unit?
What is a monosaccharide?
In CHARGER, which letter represents the idea that all living things are made of one or more cells?
What is C — Cellular structure?
What term describes an organism that makes its own food, such as a plant making food through photosynthesis?
What is an autotroph?
which macromolecule provides quick short term energy?
What is Carbohydrates
An enzyme has a specially shaped area where its substrate attaches. What is this area called?
What is the active site?
What are the individual building blocks, or monomers, that make up proteins?
What are amino acids?
A person's body temperature rises on a hot day, and the body activates processes to bring the temperature back toward its normal range. Which CHARGER does this demonstrate?
What is H — Homeostasis?
In a chemical equation, what do we call the substances present before the arrow?
What are reactants?
which macromolecule fights infection?
What is Protein
What temporary structure forms when a substrate attaches to an enzyme's active site?
What is the enzyme-substrate complex?
What type of macromolecule is made from amino acid monomers?
What is a protein?
A plant grows toward a nearby light source. Which CHARGER characteristic is demonstrated?
What is R — Respond to stimuli?
What process uses water to break the bond between larger molecules?
What is hydrolysis?
who would this food label be best for- a body builder, a long distance runner, or a person who is about to go camping in freezing temperatures? Refer to Pic
What is the long-distance runner.
A reaction normally requires a large amount of activation energy. When an enzyme is added, the reaction happens more quickly. What has the enzyme changed?
What is lowering the activation energy required to start the reaction?
A scientist discovers that a molecule is made from many repeating amino acid units. What are the individual building blocks called, and what larger structure do they form?
What are amino acids that form a polypeptide?
A population of insects changes over many generations as traits that help some insects survive become more common. Which CHARGER characteristic does this describe?
What is A — Adapt and evolve?
what's the thing that blocks the enzyme at the start?
What is inhibitor
which macromolecule provides water proofing?
What is Lipids
An enzyme is exposed to extremely high temperatures and its shape changes. The substrate can no longer fit into its active site. What happened to the enzyme, and why can it no longer function normally?
What is denaturation; its shape changed so the substrate can no longer properly fit into the active site?
A cell needs to break a large molecule into smaller units. Which process would accomplish this: dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis? Explain what happens to water during the process.
What is hydrolysis; water is added to break a bond?
A plant uses sunlight to make food, grows larger, and eventually produces new plants. Identify three different CHARGER characteristics demonstrated in this scenario.
What are E — Energy utilization, G — Growth and development, and R — Reproduction?
what is the name of this specific structure as well as which macromolecule it is? Refer to pic
What is a triglyceride. Lipid
which macromolecule is chitin and what does it do/form?
What is Carbohydrate — specifically, a polysaccharide
