Atoms
This is the basic unit of matter.
atom
Substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.
Compound.
Substance that is dissolved in a solution.
The solute.
A large organic molecule composed of many smaller molecules.
A macromolecule.
This is the primary function of enzymes in biological processes.
To speed up chemical reactions.
This is a subatomic particle with no charge.
neutron
Bond formed between atoms in which the electrons are shared.
Covalent Bond.
An acid has an excess of what?
Hydrogen ions (H+).
This macromolecule forms membranes in cells, and functions in energy storage.
Lipids.
The location where the substrate binds to the enzyme.
Active site.
This is how to determine an atoms atomic number.
Tthe number of protons.
Bond formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
Ionic bond.
Characteristic of a base.
Bitter

The substrate is also known as this.
The reactant.
These subatomic particles are located in the nucleus of an atom.
Protons & Neutrons.
The distribution of electrons between covalently bonded atoms is not even.
Polar.
This property of water allows it to not change temperature easily.
High Specific Heat
This macromolecule consists of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.

This inhibitor blocks the substrate.
Competitive inhibition.
A pure substance that consists entirely of one type of atom.
element
A weak attraction between a hydrogen atom and another atom.
Hydrogen Bond.
This property of water allows trees to transport water from their roots to their leaves.
Capillary action.
Insulin is an example of this type of macromolecule.
Protein.
This enzymatic reaction builds up monomers to polymers.
