Biological molecules Flashcards
What Elements are Carbohydrates Made Off
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen
What Elements are Fats & Oils Made Off
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen
What 2 Things are Fats & Oils also used for
Insulation and Cell Membranes
What Elements are Proteins made Off
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen and Nitrogen and sometimes Sulfur, or Phosphoros.
Name 4 Things that Proteins are used for
Growth, Tissue Repair, Enzymes, Hormones, Cell Membranes and Energy.
What is the Simplest Carbohydrate Called
Monosaccharides.
What are three Monosaccharides
Glucose, fructose and galactose
What are the Five Levels of Organisation that make up an organism starting from Smallest To Largest
Organelles -> Cells -> Tissues -> Organs -> Organ Systems
Name some of the Differences between a Plant Cell to an Animal.
Chloroplasts (animals cannot photosynthesize), Cell Wall, Permanent Vacuole (Animal cells can have Vacuoles, however, they are temporary)
Name the Three Main Groups of Biological Molecules
Proteins, Lipids, Carbohydrates
What are the two things Lipids Are Made Off
Glycerol and Fatty Acids
Enzymes Will Only Bind to one Particular **
Substrate
What are Enzymes Sensitive To
Temperature, and pH
As the temperature of an Enzyme increase, so does the **
Rate of Reaction due to more collisions between the enzyme and the substrate
Once the temperature of an Enzyme reaches it’s optimum the ***
The reaction is happening at its fastest
