15
Q

Endothermic reaction

A

Absorbs energy

Form bonds-keep energy (more energy in product than reactants)

16
Q

Reactants

A

Starting materials, ingredients of a chemical reaction

They are always on the left side

17
Q

Enzymes (catalysts)

A

They are proteins & catalysts

  • speed up reaction
  • are reuse able
  • lower activation energy
18
Q

What is the reaction progress ?

A

Shows the reaction from start to end but it is not a time

19
Q

Example of endothermic reactions

A

Lighting a firework

20
Q

Example of an exothermic reaction

A

Ice forming

Has less energy at the end than the beginning

21
Q

What label is out on the left side of the reaction graph ?

A

Total energy

22
Q

Inorganic compound

A

Compounds that DO NOT contain both carbon and hydrogen atoms

23
Q

Organic compound

A

Compounds that contain both carbon and hydrogen atoms

24
Q

-ose

A

It is a sugar or carbohydrate

25
Q

-ase

A

It’s an enzyme (protein) & are generally names after the substrate affected
Ex. Lipases (break down lipids)

26
Q

Enzymes vs catalyst

A

Enzyme- compounds that assist chemical reactions by increasing the rate at which they occur
Catalysts- accelerate the rate of a chemical reaction without being destroyed or changed

27
Q

Enzymes are _____ that are found in all ______ organisms

A

Proteins , living

28
Q

Substrate

A

Compounds that enzymes act upon

29
Q

What factors affect enzyme activity ? Denature an enzyme

A

Temperature, pH, concentration of the enzyme , & concentration of the substrate

30
Q

Unsaturated

A

Good fats

Double bond easier to break

31
Q

Saturated

A

Bad fats
Hydrogen each of bonds(single)
Can’t break, strong bonds
