Enzymes
This speeds up chemical reactions in your body.
What is an enzyme?
Fats are mainly made of these two elements
What are carbon and hydrogen?
Known as the powerhouse of the cell
What is mitochondria?
This particle carries a positive charge.
What is a proton?
This number tells you how many protons are in an element.
What is the atomic number?
When enzymes get too hot, this happens and they stop working.
What is denaturation?
Amino acids in proteins are joined by this type of bond
What is a peptide bond?
This tiny organelle builds proteins.
What are ribosomes?
This particle has no electrical charge.
What is a neutron?
Rows across the periodic table are called this.
What are periods?
Human enzymes work best at this temperature.
What is 37 degrees Celsius?
This is the simplest type of sugar molecule
What is a monosaccharide?
It controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This tiny particle orbits the nucleus.
What is an electron?
These are the vertical columns on the periodic table.
What are groups or families?
Temperature or this can affect how well enzymes work
What is pH?
This bond involves sharing electrons between atoms.
What is a covalent bond?
The place where DNA is stored in a cell.
What is the nucleus?
This is the dense center of an atom
What is the nucleus?
Electrons fill up these "energy levels" around the nucleus.
What are shells?
Losing their shape and function is called this for enzymes.
What is denaturation?
These fats have one or more double bonds in their structure.
What are unsaturated fats?
Plant cells have this but animal cells do not.
What are cell walls and chloroplasts?
The number of these determines the element.
What are protons?
This is the full electron configuration of Oxygen (O).
