15
Q

What do peroxidases do?

A

Take free radical and changes to hydrogen peroxide

16
Q

What do catalases do?

A

Take hydrogen peroxide and change to water so our body can use it

17
Q

What influences a reaction?

A

Temperature and environment

18
Q

How does temperature effect velocity?

A

When temp increased, velocity is increased. Velocity provides the energy for reaction

19
Q

What happens when you increase concentration?

A

Increases availability

20
Q

What is activation energy?

A

Energy requires for reaction to happen

Ex. Kitchen match (just to get it going)

21
Q

What is an exothermic reaction?

A

Give off energy (phosphate breaks off ATP to become ADP to become energy)

22
Q

What is an endothermic reaction?

A

Ending product has more energy than original reaction

Ex. Seed turning to apple/tree

23
Q

Characteristics of enzymes:

A

Lower activation energy and speed up rate of reaction

24
Q

Catalyst

A

Helps chemically speed up rate of reaction

25
Q

Properties of water:

A
  • Very polar (pulls on positive and negative)
  • Universal solvent- Breaks down most things that are hydrophilic
  • Ionic bonding substance loves water
  • Solute- One that it dissolves (salt)
  • Blanketing- Negative side of water surrounds pos. solute
  • Hydrophobic- Usually electrically neutral, usually very non polar
  • High heat adversion
  • Adhesive- Sticky to itself
  • Solinity will lower heat of vaporization
  • Water gets bigger when frozen
  • Lubricant- lines everything in body
26
Q

Salt…

A

Ironically bonded substance
Inorganic
Conducts electricity

27
Q

Osmotic fluid

A

Blood and water will mix

28
Q

Characteristics of Acids

A
Ironically bonded
When added to water, freely release hydrogen ion
Proton donor
Ionize in water
H+
29
Q

Characteristics of bases

A
Receive proton
Proton receptor
OH- 
High concentration
Alkaline compounds ironically bonded, ionize in water
