Macromolecules
The monomer of a nucleic acid.
What is a nucleotide?
Enzymes are this type of macromolecule.
What is protein?
This type of cell has no nucleus.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
This organelle produces proteins through translation and is made up of RNA.
What is the ribosome?
These 3 elements are found in ALL four types of macromolecules.
What is C, H, O?
What is an amino acid?
Enzymes do this to chemical reactions.
What is speed them up?
This type of cell has a nucleus.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
This organelle is where DNA is located and is the control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This semi-permeable membrane is know as the phospholipid bilayer.
What is the cell membrane?
The purpose of carbohydrates.
What is quick energy?
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by doing this.
What is lowering activation energy?
This type of cell contains a cell wall, a chloroplast, and a large vacuole that commonly stores water.
What is a plant cell?
This organelle is where cellular respiration and the ATP/ADP cycle take place. It makes energy for all cell processes.
What is the mitochondria?
An amino acid has this element, but a monosaccharide does not.
What is Nitrogen?
The organelle made primarily of lipids, with transport proteins.
What is the cell membrane?
This term describes an enzyme changing shape due to extreme conditions.
What is denaturing?
This type of cell contains cytoplasm.
What is ALL cells?
This organelle captures sunlight for photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
Enzymes typically end in these 3 letters.
What is -ASE?
This element is only found in nucleic acids.
What is phosphorus?
These two things could denature an enzyme.
What is extreme temperature or pH?
This term describes a balanced state despite external conditions.
What is homeostasis?
This organelle breaks down and gets rid of waste and contains digestive enzymes.
What is the lysosome?
This term describes the ideal conditions where an enzyme can work at max capacity.
What is optimum?
