A macromolecule that forms enzymes, antibodies, and body tissues.
Protein
When water molecules stick to each other
Cohesion
Molecule that is made of Carbon
Organic Molecule
The ability of water to stick to other things.
Adhesion
A chain of molecules linked together
Polymer

Universal Solvent
What happens if an enzyme is denatured?
Bonus points: what are ways it can be denatured?
When it loses its shape therefore its function
Ex: temperature & pH
