Bio Part 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Organic compounds are made of: | chains of carbons and hydrogens. |
| Organic compounds are also called polymers and they're made of: | many molecules connected together by a covalent bond. |
| What is the function of carbohydrates? | Fast energy |
| What is the function of proteins? | Structure/support, enzymes, carriers, and hormones |
| What is the function of lipids? | Long-term energy, insulation, and cell membranes |
| What is the function of nucleic acids? | Instruction/blueprint for the cell |
| What is the monomer of carbohydrates? | Monosacchrides (glucose) |
| What is the monomer of proteins? | Amino acids |
| What is the monomer of lipids? | Fatty acids and glycerol |
| What is the monomer of nucleic acids? | Nucleotides |
| What foods contain carbohydrates? | Pasta, bread, potatoes, and vegetables |
| What foods contain proteins? | Eggs, meat, fish, beans, and nuts |
| What foods contain lipids? | Butter, dairy, avocados, and nuts |
| What foods contain nucleic acids? | Spinach, beans, and mushrooms |
| Most enzymes are: | proteins. |
| Enzymes act as a _______ to accelerate a reaction. | "catalyst" |
| What is the enzyme-substrate complex? | The substance (substrate) joining the enzyme like "pac-man". |
| The active site is: | the restrictive region of the enzyme where the substrate joins the enzyme. |
| Enzymes are _______ for what they catalyze. | "specific" |
| Are enzymes only used once or are they reusable? | They are reusable. |
| Enzyme names usually end in -____ | "ase." |
| Enzymes can join monomers (____________) or can release monomers (_________). | "dehydration", "hydrolysis" |
| Enzymes work by: | weakening bonds which lowers activation energy. |
| How does extreme temperature effect enzymes? | May "denature" (unfold) the enzyme. |
| What pH do most enzymes mostly work the best in? | 6-8 pH, or near neutral. |
| What is competitive inhibition? | When another molecule is competing for the active site, and the molecule looks a lot like the substrate and blocks the substrate from binding with the enzyme. |
| What is noncompetitive inhibition? | When a molecule is trying to enter a site different than the active site, and the substrate can still bind to the active site but is no longer the best arrangement to catalyze the reaction. |
