Monomers of Macromolecule
The monomer of proteins
What are amino acids?
Macromolecules that provide a quick source of energy and could help provide structural support.
What are carbohydrates?
The building blocks of enzymes
What are amino acids?
The label given to substances with a low pH
What is acid?
The partial charge of oxygen in a water molecule.
What is negative?
The monomers of carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides? (Also accept simple sugars)
Macromolecules that store genetic information.
What are nucleic acids?
What is denatured?
The label given to substances with a high pH
What is base or alkaline?
The partial charge of the hydrogens in a water molecule.
What is positive?
Glucose is a monomer of this macromolecule.
What are carbohydrates?
Macromolecules that support long-term energy storage, insulation, and form the cell membrane.
What are lipids?
The chemical that an enzyme binds with to catalyze a reaction.
What is a substrate?
The pH of water
What is 7?
The molecule known as the universal solvent.
What is water?
The monomer of nucleic acids
What are nucleotides?
Macromolecules that can act as enzymes, provide structural support, and aid in transport around the cells/body.
What are proteins?
The part of the enzyme that binds to the substrate. The shape fits perfectly, like a lock and key.
What is the active site?
The ion that increases as a substance becomes more acidic.
What is a hydrogen ion (H+)?
The bonds that form between water molecules, enabling cohesion and adhesion.
What are hydrogen bonds?
Fatty acids and glycerol make up this macromolecule.
What are lipids?
A protein that speeds up reactions by lowering the activation energy (energy required for a reaction to happen).
What is an enzyme?
The enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide.
What is catalase?
The number of times stronger an acid with a pH of 1 is than an acid with a pH of 4.
What is 1000 times stronger? (3 steps, 10 x 10 x 10)
The vocabulary word meaning that there are partial negative and partial positive charges within a molecule. Water is an example.
What is polar?
