Question 15

Maltose, lactose, and sucrose

Answer 15

Examples of disaccharides

Question 16

Polysaccharides

Answer 16

Three or more carbons

Question 17

Cellulose, glycogen, and starch

Answer 17

Polysaccharides

Question 18

Glucose

Answer 18

Help digest sugars

Question 19

Lactose

Answer 19

Helps with digestion of lactase

Question 20

Glycogen

Answer 20

Insoluble storage molecule; converts excess sugars into insulin

Question 21

Fructose

Answer 21

Hydrophilic

Question 33

Four functions if proteins

Answer 33

1. Create hormones
2. Create immunoglobulins
3. Make enzymes
4. Production of hemoglobin.

Question 34

Competitive inhibition

Answer 34

When an inhibitor blocks the enzyme site

Question 35

Noncompetitive inhibition

Activation site changes when an inhibitor fits in the allosteric site

Question 36

Enzyme

Answer 36

Protein that catalyzes reactions

Question 37

Active site

Answer 37

Slightly conforms to the substrate; where the substrate attaches to enzymes

Question 38

Enzyme-substrate specificity

Answer 38

An enzymes activation site is specific for one substrate only
