Properties of water
The ability of water molecules to stick to other substance
what is adhesion
this mocromolecule is commonly used for quick energy
What is carbohydrates
These are what makes up enzymes.
What are proteins
The unfolding or unraveling of a protein.
What is denaturation
This happens to an enzyme when it is not in its ideal temperature or pH.
What is denaturization.
Has a high specific heat capacity it absorbs and stores a large amount of heat without significant change in temperature
what is high specific heat capacity
Is a region where substrate binds
What is Active site
This speeds up metabolic reactions by lowering energy barriers.
What is an enzyme
These are a special Protein that help to catalyze chemical reactions
Enzymes
The macromolecule codes our genetic information for passing traits on from generation to generation
What are Nucleic Acids
The ability of water to move upward through narrow space
What is capillary Action
Factors affecting enzyme activity
What is temperature and pH
Enzymes act as __________ and help complex reactions.
What is a catalyst?
A chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction.
What is a catalyst
Water is known as a _______________________ because it can dissolve more substances that most liquids
Universal Solvent
this property allows water molecules to stick to each other
cohesion
This macromolecule stores genetic information
What is nucleic acids
The activity of an enzyme can effected by these two elements.
What is pH and temperature
Enables muscular movement, oxygen transport in blood, and cellular construction
What are proteins
Capillary action is made possible due to which two properties of water?
Cohesion and adhesion
when the hydrogen bonds in ice is more dens*e and spaced out making the ice larger and more dense
what is water density
Gives you energy that you can use later on
What are lipids
This is the area in the enzyme called where the substrates fit in.
What is the active site
This is what ATP stands for.
What is Adenosine Triphosphate?
Two examples of nucleic acids are
What is DNA and RNA?
