| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Amino Acids | molecules containing an amine group, a carboxylic acid group, and a side-chain |
| Biochemistry | the study of chemical processes in living organisms |
| Carbohydrates | an organic compound with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n; that is, consists only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen |
| Catalysis | the change in rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of a substance called a catalyst. |
| Catalyst | A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. |
| Coenzyme | a non-protein chemical compound that is bound to a protein and is required for the protein's biological activity. |
| Enzyme | proteins that catalyze chemical reaction |
| Fermentation | the process of extracting energy from the oxidation of organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, using an endogenous electron acceptor, which is usually an organic compound |
| Metabolism | set of chemical reactions that happen in the cells of living organisms to sustain life. |
| Molecule | electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by covalent chemical bonds. |
| Organic | derived from living matter |
| Proteins | biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. |
| Reactants | A substance participating in a chemical reaction, especially a directly reacting substance present at the initiation of the reaction. |
| Starches | a carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined together by glycosidic bonds |
| Substrate | a molecule upon which an enzyme acts |
| Sugars | A sweet crystalline substance obtained from various plant |
| Vitamins | Any of a group of organic compounds that are essential for normal growth and nutrition |
| Activation Energy | A threshold that must be crossed to facilitate a chemical reaction. There are three ways to reach the activation energy: by increasing the concentration of reactants, by raising their temperature, or by introducing a catalyst, such as an enzyme |
| Active Sites | Folds and clefts on the surface of an enzyme that enable attachment to its particular substrate. |
| Proton | a subatomic particle with the symbol p or p+ and a positive electric charge of 1 elementary charge |
| Neutron | electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrical and chemical signaling |
| Catalase | common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen |
| Carbon | The chemical element of atomic number 6, a nonmetal that has two main forms |
| Hydrogen | chemical element with atomic number 1 |
| Oxygen | A colorless, odorless reactive gas, the chemical element of atomic number 8 and the life-supporting component of the air |
