review Flashcards
monomer
a small molecule
polymer
long chain, repeating pattern of monomers
biomolecule
an essential molecule in organisms for biological processes
which reaction consists of a small molecule being put together to make a larger molecule
dehydration
H20 is produced in
dehydration
what reaction consists of a larger molecule being broken down into smaller molecules
hydrolysis
what reaction is H20 required
hydrolysis
whats the building block of carbohydrates
simple sugars or monosaccharides
whats the building block of proteins
amino acids
whats the building block of nucleic acids
nucleotides
whats the building block of lipids
fatty acids
fat is a…
lipid
waxes are a….
lipid
sugars are a…
carbohydrates
DNA are a…
nucleic acids
steroids are a…..
lipid
starch is a…
carbohydrate
enzymes are a…
protein
what is the functions of a carbohydrate
short term energy, stored by plants
what is the functions of a lipid
long term energy, makes hormones
what is the function of nucleic acids
storing genetic information
what is the function of proteins
SO MANY(enzymes), digest, construct, transport, nourishment, immune system, muscles
whats the job of an enzyme
to speed a chemical reaction
explain how temperate affects reaction rate
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
