Q

How does denaturation cause a cell to not function properly

A

Denaturation changes the shape of the cell. Enzymes have a specific area called an active site that fits with a specific substrate. If the shape is changed, the enzyme will not catalyze the reaction. pH and temp can denature an enzyme

17
Q

How are monomers and polymers related. How are monomers joined together and what is the product?

A

Monomers and polymers are related because a polymer is multiple monomers. Monomers are joined together by water ad the product is a polymer.

18
Q

How are glucose molecules brought together?

A

Hydrolisos

19
Q

How are glucose molecules separated?

A

Dehydration synthesis
