An organic macromolecule whose functions include providing long-term energy, providing insulation, and providing integral components of the cell membrane.
What is lipids
100
Combining two monosaccharides through dehydration synthesis allows the creation of
What is a disaccharide
100
An organic catalyst (also known as an enzyme) does this to the activation energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur.
(choices: increases, decreases)
What is decreases.
100
Enzymes are created when amino acids are joined together by this type of bond.
What is a peptide bond.
100
Enzyme names generally end in these three letters.
What are "ase"
200
The macromolecule that would provide the long-term energy necessary if a person had to survive a long period of time without food.
What is lipids.
200
A 5-Carbon sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base (A, T, C, G) are the three parts of this monomer.
What is a nucleotide.
200
The class of protein that catalyzes chemical reactions.
What is enzymes.
200
These are two environmental factors that can influence an enzyme's reaction rate.
What are pH and temperature.
200
Any substance with a pH higher than 7 is known as this.
What is a base.
300
This is the macromolecule that is used in the digestion of food.
What is proteins (enzymes)
300
The monomers of both DNA and RNA.
What is nucleotides.
300
The type of reaction in which organic macromolecules are broken down into smaller monomers through the addition of water.
What is hydrolysis.
300
Proteins are made of folded chains that have a specific shape. This is the word used to describe the unfolding of these chains due to high temperatures or changes in pH.
What is denature (or denaturation).
300
Any substance with a pH lower than 7 is known as this.
What is an acid.
400
Amylase is an enzyme in the mouth that breaks this plant-based polysachharide into simple sugars.
What is starch.
400
The monomers of this class of organic molecules are amino acids.
What are proteins.
400
The type of reaction in which smaller monomers are joined together into larger organic molecules by the removal of water molecules.
What is dehydration synthesis.
400
Enzymes generally do not generally work well at these temperatures because they are less likely to collide with a substrate.
What is low temperatures.
400
This is a strong base generally used to clean kitchens, bathrooms and hospitals since it can denature bacterial enzymes.
What is bleach.
500
Enzymes, organic catalysts that increase reaction rates by decreasing activation energy, are a member of this class or organic macromolecules.
What is proteins.
500
Glycogen, a polysaccharide that is stored in the liver, can be broken down into this monomer.
What is monosaccharides (or glucose).
500
Energy released when glucose is broken down in the mitochondria is stored as this molecule.
What is ATP.
500
When an enzyme is denatured, substrate can no longer bind to this part of the enzyme.
What is the active site.
500
This is a feedback mechanism used by the human body that allows the body to heat up in response to foreign materials such as bacteria and virsuses.
