100
Name each part of this diagram
substrate, active site, products, enzyme
200
What is the function of enzymes
by increasing the rate of chemical reactions by lowering activation energy
200
what do humans store carbohydrates in
BONUS
glycogen
200
what is saturated fat like at room temperature? give one example.
solid
200
name two functions of proteins
BONUS
enzymes control rate of reactions
build + repair muscles
contract muscles
defend the body against pathogens
transport substances around the body
200
what is the function of nucleic acids
to store and pass on genetic information
200
what is the ending of proteins and sugars [2 different answers]
proteins: -ase
sugars: -ose
300
explain the 4 steps of enzyme action
1. enzyme and substrate are near each other
2. the enzyme grabs onto the substrate with its active site to for the enzyme-substrate complex
3. the substrate changes [breaks down or joins together]
4.the products are released and the enzyme is ready to receive another substrate
300
name 3 examples of complex carbohydrates
potato, corn, bread, pasta, rice
300
what type of fat is this?
unsaturated fat
300
Which part of amino acids makes them unique [20 different kinds!]
the side chain
300
what elements make up nucleic acids
BONUS
CHONP
300
how many covalent bonds can carbon make with other atoms
BONUS
4 covalent
400
explain what a competitive inhibitor is and what it does to reaction rate
BONUS
binds to the active site getting in the way of the substrate that is supposed to bind there making it so the enzyme cannot work
400
what is deoxyribose an example of
sugar
400
what is the function of lipids
long term energy storage
400
what is the polymer of proteins
polypeptides
400
what foods would you find nucleic acids in?
anything that is or was living [needs to have DNA!]
400
nucleotide
500
how do proteins become denatured and what happens to its function?
acidity/heat and the protein becomes unable to function
500
what is the purpose of polysaccharides in the body and then why do we need to break them down into monosaccharides?
polysaccharides help us store glucose for later use. we break them down because our cells can only utilize sugars in their monosaccharide form
500
what 4 parts make up a triglyceride
glycerol and three fatty acids
500
how do you get from monomer to polymer of a protein [3 steps]
amino acids --> polypeptide chain --> protein
500
what are the three parts of a nucleotide?
1. phosphate
2. nitrogenous base
3. 5 carbon sugar
500
what gives polyunsaturated fats their structure?
multiple double bonds between carbon
