20
Q

Solute + Solvent

A
  • Solute: dissolved

- Solvent: dissolver

21
Q

pH

A
  • Measure of hydrogen ion
22
Q

Enzymes

A
  • Proteins that control chemical reactions in cells

- Are catalysts

23
Q

pH and temperature effect on Enzymes

A
  • High pH and temperature irreversibly change the structure of proteins + alter their function
24
Q

Dehydration Synthesis

A
  • Put together while losing water

- Monomers combine w/each other via covalent bonds to form larger molecules aka polymers

25
Q

Hydrolysis

A
  • A reaction with water in which a molecule is cut into half by the addition of the water molecule
26
Q

2 amino acids joined together

A
  • Peptide
27
Q

2 types of nucleic acids

A
  • DNA + RNA
28
Q

DNA vs. RNA sugar

A
  • DNA: deoxyribose

- RNA: ribose

29
Q

Covalent bonds

A
  • Atoms of water form covalent bonds, meaning they share electrons
