27
Name 2 environmental conditions that can cause proteins (enzymes) to change their shape
pH an temperature
28
Many genetic diseases result from the production of enzymes that are not shaped correctly. How does changing an enzyme's shape cause it to work poorly or not at all
Denaturing changes shape of active site so enzymes cant bind to substrates
29
DNA polymerase is a molecule found in all cells. Judging by its name do you think its an enzyme
Yes; it ends in -ase
30
Attraction between hydrogen atom in 1 water molecule and oxygen molecule in another is an example of a ----- bond
Hydrogen
31
Atoms with an electric charge are called
Ions
32
Molecules with an uneven pattern of electric charge
Polar
33
