| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| all organic compounds contain | Carbon |
| Monomers | building block for organic chemistry |
| polymers | macromolecules; monomers put together |
| 4 types of macromolecule/4 types of organic compounds | carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acid |
| RXNS means | reaction |
| protein is made up of | C,H,O,N |
| protein is used to build what | muscle |
| indication test for protein | Biuret |
| what type of organic compound is an enzyme | protein |
| what do enzymes do | they speed up chemical reactions (digestion in humans) |
| are enzymes ever used up? | no |
| substrate | the chemical reacting with the enzyme |
| the enzyme catalase is found where? | cow liver |
| are substrates specific? | yes |
| what effects the structure of an enzyme | temperature and pH |
| how does temperature and pH effect an enzyme | they change the shape of the enzyme so it can no longer fit the substrate |
| enzymes work like _______ | a lock and key |
| how many enzymes and substrates can match each other | only one |
| what is the connection line of the enzyme and the substrate | activation site |
| what is the step called when the enzyme and substrate combine | ES complex |
| when the enzyme and substrate split what happens to the substrate | it splits into what is called the product |
| what do the names of enzymes normally end in | -ase- |
| what is the substrate for the enzyme catalase | Hydrogen peroxide ( H2O2) |
| what is the product of H2O2 and catalase | H2O(water) and O (oxygen gas) |
| what are the 3 forms of carbohydrates | monosaccharide, disaccharide, polysaccharide |
| what is monosaccharide | glucose |
| what is disaccharide | sucrose |
| what is polysaccharide | starches |
| carbohydrates are made up of | C,H,O |
| test for carbohydrates | iodine, benedicts solution |
| what do carbohydrates provide | energy |
| Lipids are | fats and oils and wax |
| lipids are made up of | C,H,O |
| lipids provide | insulation (blubber on whales), long term energy, improve vision |
| lipid monomers | fatty acids, glyceral |
| indication test for lipids | the brown bag test |
| Nucleic acids are made up of | C,H,O,N,phosphorus |
| what do nucleic acids do | store genetic material (RNA, DNA) for living organisms |
| nucleic acids monomers | Nucleotides(phosphate group, sugars, nitrogen base) |
| a nucleotide is made up of what | phosphate, pentose sugar, and nitrogenous base |
| the pH scale measures what | acidity and basicity or a solution |
| 0-6 on the pH scale indicates | and acid |
| 7 on the pH scale indicates | a neutral |
| 8-14 on the pH scale indicates | a base |
| a buffer | weak acid or base used to control pH |
