100
This is being represented by the dotted line in the picture below.
What is hydrogen bond?
100
These are the monomers of proteins or polypeptide chains.
What are amino acids?
100
These are proteins that speed up chemical reactions
What are enzymes?
100
A + B → C + D
A and B are examples of these
What are reactants?
100
These are the monomers of carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides?
200
Any chemical that can speed up chemical reactions is called this.
What is a catalyst?
200
The what of a protein determines its function
Shape
200
This part of the enzyme is what binds to the substrate
What is the active site?
200
This type of reaction uses water to cut or break a big molecule into smaller molecules
What is hydrolysis?
200
These are the polymers for carbohydrates.
What are polysaccharides?
300
This property of water allows certain insects to stand on top of ponds or lakes
What is surface tension
300
Proteins differ in the number and type of this contained in their polypeptide chain(s)
What are amino acids?
300
"A" represents this in the image below
What is a substrate?
300
This type of reaction removes water to build smaller molecules into bigger molecules
What is dehydration synthesis?
300
This is the function for carbohydrates in the body
What is providing quick energy
400
This area of the enzyme is highlighted in purple
What is the active site?
400
The specific order of monomers in a protein is called this
What is primary structure?
400
This process changes the shape of a protein which changes the function
What is denaturing/denaturation?
400
This enzymatic reaction breaks up bigger molecules into smaller molecules which releases energy
What is catabolic reaction?
400
This term would be the best to describe the structure of starch
What is polysaccharide?
500
This forms when the substrate and enzyme combine
What is the enzyme-substrate complex?
500
This is the reason that the unique three-dimensional shape of the enzyme’s active site contributes to its function.
What is it provides a complementary fit to the substrate, facilitating enzyme-substrate binding?
500
These are the main two things that can denature enzymes
What is pH and temp?
500
The image below represents this kind of reaction
What is an anabolic reaction?
500
This carbohydrate helps make up plant cell walls and gives them their rigidity
What is cellulose?
