100
coolant, transport medium, and habitat
What are uses of water by living organisms?
100
This is when the delicate structure of enzymes is broken and damaged.
What is denaturation?
100
N, Ca, P, Fe, Na, O, H, S
What are elements found in living organisms?
100
This is when two molecules are joined together to form a larger molecule. Water is formed.
What is a condensation reaction?
100
This contains more energy per gram than carbohydrates and cause it to be a better energy storage compound.
What are lipids?
200
This type of bond attatches one water molecule to another.
What is hydrogen bond?
200
This is the region on the enzyme to which substrates bind.
What is the active site?
200
These are compounds containing carbon that are found in living organisms.
What are organic coumpounds?
200
This is the bond formed in condensation reactions.
What is peptide bonds/linkage?
200
Energy storage, heat insulation, and buoyancy
What are functions of lipids?
300
This is when water molecule stick together because of the hydrogen bonds that form between them.
What is cohesion?
300
This is what the reactants are called in reactions catalyzed by enzymes.
What is a substrate?
300
Carbon dioxide, carbonates, and hydrogen carbonates.
What are examples of inorganic compounds containing carbon?
300
Polypeptides, polysaccharides and triglycerides can be broken down by this type of reaction.
What is hydrolysis?
300
Transport and energy storage
What are functions of carbohydrates?
400
This causes the large amounts of energy to be needed to raise the temperature of water.
What is its large heat capacity?
400
This causes enzymes to catalyze very few different reactions.
What is enzyme-substrate specificity?
400
Amino acids, ribose, glucose, glycerol, and fatty acids
What are subunits of organic compounds?
400
This molecule is formed when monosaccharides are linked together.
What is disaccharides/polysaccharides?
400
This causes a water molecule to be polar.
What is the positivity of the H hydrogen pole and the negativity of the O pole?
500
The hydrogen bonds between water molecules need to be broken in order for water to do this.
What is water's ability to evaporate at temperatlures below boiling point?
500
This causes enzyme activity to be directly proportional to the substrate concentration.
What is low substrate concentrations?
500
This determines whether the amino acid is polar or nonpolar, and if it is acidic or basic.
What is the R group?
500
Sucrose and maltose
What are examples of disaccharides?
500
This causes ice to form at the surface of water first.
What is the decreasing density of water as it cools?
