2.1 Molecules To Metabolism

Question 0

Catabolism

Answer 0

Enzyme catalysed reactions function to convert large, complex molecules into smaller, simpler molecular forms

Question 1

Insulin

Answer 1

Protein hormone that facilitates the movement of glucose from the bloodstream to the interior of cells. Does this by interacting with protein channels in body cell plasma membranes , openings those channels to glucose

Question 2

Anabolism

Answer 2

Enzyme catalysed reactions convert small simple molecules to larger, more complex molecules

Question 3

Hydrolising enzymes

Answer 3

enzymes that digest foods chemically in your alimentary canal

Question 4

Hydrolysis

Answer 4

Reactions that require a molecule of water, it is always split

Question 5

Organic chemistry

Answer 5

study of compounds that contain carbon, some are not classified as organic like CO2

Question 6

4 groupings of molecules

Answer 6

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids

All have oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen phosphorus

Question 7

Organic molecules

Answer 7

Molecules from which all living organisms are made, usually have carbon except co2

Question 8

Molecular collisions

Answer 8

Cause molecules to change direction, heading into new collisions. Some provide a certain amount of energy to a specific molecule, the reactant for thrm to undergo a chemical reaction. Depends on speed, identity, orientation

Question 9

Vitalism

Answer 9

Living organisms and innanimate objects were completely different organic molecules caracteristic of living things
