Enzymes, Graphing, Experimental Design
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Enzymes | special proteins the speed up chemical reactions |
| Substrate | the molecule that an enzyme works on |
| Lock and Key Model | the theory that shows that enzymes and their substrates are shape specific |
| Active Site | the location that a substrate attaches to an enzyme |
| Products of digestion of a protein | amino acids |
| Products of digestion of a carbohydrate | monosaccharides/simple sugars |
| Products of digestion of a lipid | glycerol and fatty acids |
| Product of synthesis of amino acids | Protein |
| Product of synthesis of monosaccharides | Carbohydrate |
| Product of synthesis of glycerol and fatty acids | Lipid |
| Catalyst | another word for enzyme |
| Enzyme-Substrate Complex | the combination of the enzyme and substrate when they bond together |
| Reaction Rate | how fast a reaction happens |
| Independent Variable | the variable that is being tested in the experiment |
| Dependent Variable | the data that is being collected |
| Control Group | the group of subjects in the experiment that receive normal treatment; no IV |
| Experimental Group | the group of subjects in the experiment that receives the independent variable |
| Constants | factors that stay the same between the control group and experimental group |
| Hypothesis | a prediction of what will happen in an experiment |
| Y-axis | the vertical axis; where the DV always goes |
| X-axis | the horizontal axis- where the IV or time always goes |
| TASK | The four parts always needed on a graph- Title, Axis Labels, Scale, Key |
