Properties of Water
These two elements bond to make an essential molecule for life.
What are Hydrogen and Oxygen?
All biomolecules have these three elements.
What are C, H, O?
Many enzymes are made of this biomolecule.
What are proteins?
The bonds between the atoms in a water molecule are
What are covalent bonds?
Bonds formed between adjacent water molecules. This gives water surface tension
What are hydrogen bonds?
A property of water that allows it to stick to other substances .
What is Adhesion?
This biomolecule has no true monomer.
What are Lipid?
A substance that increases the rate of the reaction.
What is a catalysts?
When an element has gained or lost and electron it is called a(n) _______________________.
What is ion?
A solution that has a pH higher than 7 is known as a ___________, or __________________
What is base or alkaline?
This term refers to the attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind
What is Cohesion?
The monomer of this biomolecule is monosaccharides.
What are Carbohydrates?
The place where a substrate binds to an enzyme is called the ___________________ _______________
What is the active site?
The water molecule has slightly negative and positive areas; therefore it is a ______________ molecule
What is polar?
The type of bond where electrons are shared between atoms
What is covalent bond?
This property of water allows the Earth to maintain homeostasis.
What is High Specific Heat?
These biomolecules contain genetic information.
What are Nucleic Acids?
An enzyme's activation site shape has changed (due to heat, pH, etc.)
What is Denatured?
A substance having a pH of less than 7 is known as a(n) ______________________.
What is acid?
NaCl, C6H12O6, and H2O are all examples of these.
What are compounds?
The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules.
What is Surface Tension?
Proteins have a monomer that that aids in its function.
What are Amino Acids?
The rate of reaction has plateaued.
When all the substrates have bonded?
The concentration of hydronium ions in a solution with a pH of 4 is how many times that of a solution with a pH of 2?
What is 100?
Name 3 things that can affect how well an enzyme functions.
What are pH, temperature, substrate concentration, enzyme concentration?
