General Enzyme Knowledge
This type of protein speeds up chemical reactions in living things.
Enzyme
CHON are the major elements found in this macromolecule.
Proteins
The enzyme that breaks down lactose.
Lactose
This macromolecule provides quick energy for cells.
carbohydrates
This property allows water molecules to stick to each other.
Cohesion
Enzymes lower this to make reactions happen faster.
Activation Energy
CHONP are the major elements found in this macromolecule.
Nucleic Acid
This macromolecule is made of amino acids.
Proteins
This property allows water to stick to other surfaces
Adhesion
The substance an enzyme acts on is called this.
Substrate
I contain CHO and am made of glycerol and 3 fatty acids. What macromolecule am I?
Lipid
This macromolecule stores long-term energy and insulates the body.
Lipids
This process causes water to move up a plant stem against gravity.
Capillary
Describe the Lock and Key hypothesis using the terms substrate and enzyme. Which is the lock, which is the key?
What is Enzymes only react with certain substrates that match their shape correctly. Enzymes are the lock, substrates are the key.
CHO can identify these TWO macromolecules.
Carb and Lipids
DNA belongs to this macromolecule group.
Nucleic Acid
The slightly negative end of one water molecule is attracted to the slightly positive end of another, forming these.
Hydrogen Bonds
product
True or false: For each reaction, there is a specific enzyme.
True
The monomer of proteins.
amino acids
Insects walking on water is caused by
Surface tensions
