18
Q

enzymes are a…

A

protein

19
Q

what is the functions of a carbohydrate

A

short term energy, stored by plants

20
Q

what is the functions of a lipid

A

long term energy, makes hormones

21
Q

what is the function of nucleic acids

A

storing genetic information

22
Q

what is the function of proteins

A

SO MANY(enzymes), digest, construct, transport, nourishment, immune system, muscles

23
Q

whats the job of an enzyme

A

to speed a chemical reaction

24
Q

explain how temperate affects reaction rate

A

the hotter=more kinetic energy=more collisions of enzyme and subrtates= reactions go faster
-too hot denatures ensymes
-too cold, not enough energy to start the reaction

25
Q

explain how substrate concentration affects reaction rate

A

the more substrates=more active sites filled, since no more enzymes being added= active sites fill=reaction cannot speed up anymore

26
Q

be able to draw monosaccharide, disaccharide and polysaccharide

A

mono=1 disa=2 poly=a lot

27
Q

whats the term for an enzyme breaking

A

denature
