Unit 2 Intro

Question 1

Enzymes

Answer 1

Speed up reactions and make life possible

Question 2

Fastest enzyme

Answer 2

A phosphate group. Removes phosphates from ATP. 10 ms rather than 10 trillion year

Question 3

Enzymes help metabolic reactions

Answer 3

Grow, reproduce, move, respond to stimuli, and harness and use energy

Question 4

Energy

Answer 4

The ability to do work. All chemical and physical properties. Can be converted into other forms

Question 5

Forms of energy

Answer 5

Electrical, chemical, mechanical, and electromagnetic

Question 6

Types on electromagnetic energy

Answer 6

Visible, infrared and ultraviolet

Question 7

Two types of energy

Answer 7

Kinetic and potential

Question 8

Kinetic energy

Answer 8

Energy of on object because of its motion

Question 9

Kinetic energy examples

Answer 9

Waves, falling rocks, electricity (moving electrons), light (moving photons)

Question 10

Potential energy

Answer 10

Stored energy because of its position or chemical structure. C and H have high Ep, where O and N have low

Question 11

Potential energy examples

Answer 11

Boulder at the top of a cliff, arrangement of atoms

Question 12

How molecules gain potential energy

Answer 12

The farther and electron from the nucleus the more Ep it has. The electronegativity of an atom greatly influences its potential energy
