Question | Answer |
---|---|
MONOMER | each subunit in the complete molecules is called a monomer. |
POLYER | is a large molecules,or macromolecule,made of many monomers bonded together. |
CARBONHYDRATES | are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and the include sugars and starches. |
LIPID | are nonpolar molecules that include fats,oils,and cholesteral |
FATTY ACIDS | are chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. |
PROTIEN | is a poler made of monomers called amion acids. |
AMINO ACIDS | are molecules that contain carbon,hydrogen,oxgen,nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. |
NUCLEIC | are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. |
chemical reaction | change substances into different substances by breaking and froming chemical bonds. |
reactants | are teh substances changed during a chemical reaction |
products | are the substances made by a chemical reaction |
bond energy | is the amount of energy that will break a bond between two atoms |
equilibrium | is reached when noth the reactants and products are made at the same rate. |
activation energy | is the amount of enegry that needs t obe absorbed for a chemical reaction to start. |
exothermic | chemical reaction releases more energy then it absorbs |
endothermic | chemical reaction absorbs more energy than it releases |
catalyst | is a substance that decreases the activation enegry needed to start a chemical reactions and as a result, also increases the rate of a chemical reaction |
enzyme | are catalysts for chemical reactions in living things |
substrates | the spcific reactants that an enzyme acts on. |
