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
