enzymes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| enzymes are what | substances that cause chemical reactions to occur faster |
| what are active sites | a surface with one or more deep folds |
| an enzyme shape is key to what | the enzyme function is |
| ecosystemm | more than one organism |
| cell | simplest unit in biological making |
| first people to describe a cell on paper | Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann |
| Schleiden discovered | plants are made of cells |
| Schwann discovered | animal tissue is made of cells |
| plasma membrane | barrier between cells |
| cell theory | all living things have cells,cell are the basic unit of life, cell come from preexisting cells |
| plasma membrane is made up of what | phosphlipid bilayer |
| Most enzymes are | protein |
| enzymes are produced by | a cells ribosomes |
| Enzymes are also important for the | syntheisis of new molecules |
| Thus, a particular enzyme fits against its | substrate |
| If its shape is changed, the enzyme may not | function |
| Changes in temperature and pH can affect the shape of an enzyme’s | active site |
| enzymes are only able to work properly in a certain | tempurature and pH range |
| RNA polymerase is an | enzyme |
| new protein molecules are synthesized based on the instructions coded in the | mRNA |
| Ribosomes produce specific enzymes to act on specific substances | substrates |
| the enzyme catalase assists in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and | oxygen |
| enzymes are a type of | catalyst |
| cells would not be able to perform metabolism quickly enough to support life | without enzymes |
| Ribosomes produce specific enzymes to act on specific | substances |
