100
These are large molecules made from repeating smaller units called monomers.
What are macromolecules?
100
The monomers of carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides?
100
A process that changes one set of chemicals into another by breaking and forming new bonds.
What is a Chemical Reaction?
100
Determine the type of macromolecule that enzymes are.
What are proteins?
200
This is the name for the individual small subunits that join together to make a larger macromolecule.
What is a monomer?
200
This type of protein speeds up chemical reactions but is not used up.
What is an enzyme?
200
This is the amount of energy that must be absorbed to start any chemical reaction.
What is Activation Energy?
200
Label the three parts of the enzyme-substrate complex.
A. Active Site
B. Enzyme
C. Substrate
300
Glucose, fructose, and galactose are examples of these simple sugar monomers for carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides?
300
A type of lipid that is the main structural component of the cell membrane.
What is a phospholipid?
300
Catalysts speed up a reaction by doing this to the required activation energy.
What is... decreases (or lower) it?
300
Determine what enzymes do to chemical reactions in the body
What is... speed them up?

500
When baking soda is mixed with vinegar, bubbles are formed. Those bubbles are made of this gas.
What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?
500
Too much heat or a pH outside the optimal range can cause an enzyme to lose its shape and function, a process known as this.
What is Denaturation?
