questions Flashcards
What is dehydration synthesis
Attaching monomers together in a chain to make a polymer. and removing water from each connection.
what is hydrolysis
Serprating a chain of monomers to break down a polymer and add water to remove the connection
Explain the role of activation energy in reaction.
The amount of energy that must be added to start a chemical reaction
How does enzyme affect activation energy
enzyme lower the activation, allowing the reaction to go faster and easier.
what is dipeptide
two amino acids connected
what is polypeptide
many amino acids connected
which monomer is shaped like a hexagon
Glucose
What is monosaccharide
one simple sugar like glucose
What is disaccharide
two monosaccharide connected
what is a polyacrylamide
many monosaccharide connected
what are five ways to transport protein to your body.
source of energy
pigments
hormones
body structure
transport in blood
what is monomers in protein
amino acids
what is the organelle that puts amino acids together and make protein
ribosome
what are 2 examples of protein molecules
hemoglobin
insulin
what are the four main types of organic compounds.
carbohydrates
lipids
proteins
nucleic acids
what would happen if there is no enzymes in humans
chemical reaction in body will stop and cells would die.
how do you speed up chemical reaction without out enzyme
Add heat
Is marcomolcule large and small
Large
what does poly mean
many or multiple
what is polymer mean
a large molecule made up with many monomers attached together
what does mono mean
one or single
what is a monomer
a small molecule that is a building block of a polymer
what is condensation / dehydration
monomers are attached together to make a polymer by removing water.
what is the monomer of nucleic acids
nucleotide
what is the monomer for carbohydrates
monosaccharide
what are two monomer of lipids
fatty acid and glycerol
what is a monomer of proteins
amino acids
what will be when a polymer attach together
water will be removed
what is enzyme
a protein with a specific shape
what is the job of enzyme
speed up chemical reaction
are enzymes used by chemical over and over again
yes
what is active site
the part of the enzymes that conncets to the substrate
what is substrate
what the enzyme is working for
why does enzyme only work or substrate
the active site has specific shapes that only fit a specific shape
what is the job of the enzyme in our digestive system
break down food , polymers into monomers
examples of lipids
wax, fats, oil and steroids
how does cells use nucleic acids
genetic code
two exampels of nucliec acids
dna and rna
what kind of marcomoulce doesnt mix or dissolve with water
lipids
how do cell use carbohydrates
quick energy
example of carbohydrate
pasta sugar and paper
what are two ways cell use lipids
energy storage and cell membrane
what are two ways monomers in lipids
fatty acid and glycerol
