___ (a measure of the acidity of a solution) in most organisms needs to be kept within a very narrow range   show
🗑
___ within an organism are used to regulate pH so that pH homeostasis can be maintained.   show
🗑
show cell processes  
🗑
A ___ is a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction or allows a chemical reaction to occur (activate) at a lower than normal temperature.   show
🗑
Catalysts work by lowering the ___ ___ of a chemical reaction.   show
🗑
show consumed, altered  
🗑
show Enzymes  
🗑
Enzymes are very ___. Each particular enzyme can catalyze only one chemical reaction by working on one particular ___ (substrate).   show
🗑
___ are involved in many of the chemical reactions necessary for organisms to live, reproduce, and grow, such as digestion, respiration, reproduction, movement and cell regulation.   show
🗑

🗑
show caloric value  
🗑
show Proteins  
🗑
show Amino acids  
🗑
There are ___ amino acids that chemically bond in various ways to make proteins.   show
🗑
___ amino acids are made in the body; others must be consumed from foods such as ___, ___, or ___.   show
🗑
___ are most important as a source of building blocks.   show
🗑

🗑
show carbohydrates  
🗑
show sugars and starches  
🗑
___ and ___ are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.   show
🗑

show cellular respiration  
🗑
show carbon-hydrogen  
🗑
If an organism has a greater supply of carbohydrates than needed for its energy requirements, the extra energy is converted to ___ and stored by the body.   show
🗑
Lipid molecules are made of two component molecules (___ and ___) so they are structurally different from carbohydrates.   show
🗑
show carbohydrates  
🗑
show fats  
🗑
Once inside the cell, glycerols and fatty acids are ___ for later use or used as fuel for ___ ___ if there are no carbohydrates available.   show

🗑
___ ___ are used as raw materials to make all of the proteins required by the organism.   show
🗑
___ is a chemical reaction that breaks the bonds of organic molecules so that the component parts can be transported throughout the body by the bloodstream.   show
🗑
show Structural

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
