Enzyme

Fructose

A hexose sugar in honey/fruit

Coenzymes

A nonprotein compound that's necessary for the functioning of an enzyme

Glucose

A simple sugar that's an important energy source for living organisms

Lactose

A sugar in milk

Enzymes

Act as catalysts controlling all chemical reactions in the body

Competitive Inhibition

Binding of the inhibitor to the active site on the enzyme prevents binding of the substrates.

Amylose

Crystallizable form of starch

Feedback Mechanism

Cycles in which the product of one reactions causes another to start or stop

Activation Energy

Energy required for life

Optimum

Highest peak

Non-competitive Inhibition

Inhibitor reduces the ability of the enzyme and binds equally to the enzyme.

Substrate

Is what an enzyme act upon on

Explain why changing the shape of an enzyme could affect the ability of the enzyme to function

It alters the active site where the substrate binds which makes it impossible to help the reaction.

Lock and Key

Lock= enzyme Key= substrate Key hole= active site Only the correct sized substrate can fit into the active site of the enzyme

Homeostasis

Maintaining the internal environment in dynamic balance Ex. If you get too hot, you need to cool Failure to maintain can cause disease/death

Subunits of DNA are called?

Nucleotides

Aerobic

Oxygen/air for life

Allosteric

Pertaining to regulation of the rate of an enzyme

Identify 2 environmental factors that directly influence the rate of enzyme action

Ph (acid/base) and Temperature

Which statement of protein isn't correct?

Protein are bonded together, resulting in simple sugars

Which group contains only molecules that are each assembled from smaller organic compounds?

Protein, fats, starch, DNA

All chemical breakdown processes in cells directly involve?

Reactions that are controlled by catalysts

Most of the starch stored in the cells if a potato is composed of molecules that originally entered these cells as?

Simple Sugars

Dynamic Equilibrium

When organisms are balanced they're not unchanged. Organisms make changes to maintain homeostasis.

Active Site

Where enzyme bind reactions
