Biomolecules enzymes
Study guide for biomolecules enzyme cell test
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Enzyme | A molecule made of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy |
| Lock and key model | A term used to show that enzymes are specific for a particular substrate |
| Denatured | When a protein or enzyme is destroyed by heat or high ph and doesn't function anymore because the shape of the activation site has changed |
| Activation site | The place of the enzyme where the substrate binds to the enzyme it is specific for each substrate |
| Catalyst | Anything that speeds up a chemical reaction |
| Biology | The study of life |
| Amino acids | Monomers of proteins, made up of C,H,O, and N |
| Organic | Containing carbon |
| Monosaccharides | monomers of carbohydrates made up of C, H, O |
| Nucleotide | monomers of Nucleic acids ex DNA made up of a phosphate a nitrogen base and a 5 carbon sugar |
| Carbohydrates | Organic molecule used to give us immediate energy also make up cell walls of plants made up of C, H, O |
| Lipids | Used in the body as a long term storage molecule of energy and for insulation. Also present in cell membranes, made up of C, H, O |
| Nucleic acids | Molecules in our body that store genetic information such as DNA and RNA made up of phosphate, 5 carbon sugar, nitrogen base, contain C H O N P |
| Peptide bonds | bonds that hold amino acids together to make proteins |
| polymer | very large molecule such as starch and proteins |
| homeostatsis | an organisms ability to adjust to small changes in the environment and stay alive. ex sweating when it gets hot. |
