This organic compound is found in the cell membrane and is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic.

What are phosphlipids?

200
These are the strongest intermolecular bonds found in water.
What are hydrogen bonds?
200
This is where the substrate attaches to the enzyme.
What is the activation site?
200
This type of solution contains higher concentrations of H+ ions than pure water.
