This is a monomer of carbohydrates
What is a monosaccharide?
Lipids are commonly made of these two types of molecules
What are fatty acids and glycerol?
Proteins are made of these monomers
What are amino acids?
Enzymes are made up of which monomer?
What is amino acid/protein?
All organic compounds are built around this element
What is carbon?
The most common monosaccharide made by plants through photosynthesis
What is glucose?
Lipids do not dissolve in water because they are this
What is hydrophobic or nonpolar?
This protein helps break down lactose in dairy products
What is lactase?
The area where the substrate attaches on an enzyme
What is the active site?
What do X, Y, and Z represent?
What are enzyme, substrate, products?
A carbohydrate made of 200+ glucose molecules used for plant energy storage
What is starch?
This type of liquid is solid at room temperature
DNA and RNA belong to this macromolecule group
What are nucleic acids?
When an enzyme changes shape due to high heat or extreme pH, this occurs
What is denaturation?
Explain the difference between carnivore and herbivore digestive tract and dentition. Why is there a difference?
What is carnivores have a short tract and sharp teeth and herbivores have a long digestive tract and flat teeth?
This carbohydrate is most abundant organic compound on Earth and forms plant cell walls
What is cellulose?
This lipid makes up the majority of the cell membrane
What are phospholipids or lipids?
These two protein types help with immunity and digestion
What are antibodies and enzymes?
Enzymes work like this everyday object because they are specific to their substrate
What is lock and key or puzzle piece?
If protease made 5mg of product in 2 seconds, what was the reaction rate?
Reaction rate = product made / time
What is 2.5mg/sec?
This term describes a carbohydrate made of two sugar units
What is a disaccharide?
Which biomolecule stores the most energy due to long carbon chains?
What are lipids?
There are 20 amino acids, but thousands of proteins exist because of this property
What is the different sequence/order of amino acids?
After completing a reaction, enzymes can be used again because this does not change
What is the enzyme's structure/shape?
A female lion must consume at least 13,500 (kcal) each day to survive and succeed in the environment. They have approx. 15,000 kcal to expend per day. If it costs -10,000 kcal to hunt a wildebeest, and the gain energy is 25,000 kcal, what is the net gain of energy?
What is +15,000?
