Which of the following is not one of the main classes of macromolecules within cells? Carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, water?
Water
Order
cell tissue organ organism organelle
Water is classified as an inorganic compound because it
does not contain carbon
What are the building blocks of lipids
fatty acids and glycerol
fat + water -------
lipase
The hydrolysis of maltose is catalyzed
maltase
Glucose + ____________
monosaccharide
The activity of which enzyme decreases in both acidic and basic environments
pepsin
The function of a specific enzyme is most directly influence by its
physical shape
Big picture: Process is known as
protein synthesis
Even though human proteins are synthesized from only 20 difference amino acids, there are thousands of difference proteins found in human cells. This great variety of proteins is possible because the
sequence and number of amino acids can be different in each protein
The shape of each of the molecules is important because
the shape of a molecule determines how it functions in chemical reaction.
Which substance is an inorganic molecule
water
