BIO 169 LAB PRACTICAL 3 Flashcards
(135 cards)
four macromolecule
- carbohydrate
- lipids
- proteins
- nucleic acid
what is a enzyme
protein catalysts
increase the rate of a reaction by lowering activation energy
substrate
the reactant in a reaction
product
result of a reaction
active site
location on enzyme where substrate binds
specificity
only substrate compatible with enzyme active site will elicit a reaction
denaturation
anything that changes the molecular shape of the enzyme and renders it nonfunctional
what environment affect enzymes
- temperature
- pH
- salt concentration
- chemical
what temp does the enzyme act optimally
body temp 37 degree C or 98.6 degree F
what does high temp do to enzyme
denature it
catabolic
break down substrate
type of catabolic reaction
hydrolysis
growth/building of substance
anabolic
a type of anabolic reaction
dehydration synthesis
breaking bonds of molecules using water
hydrolysis
monomers bind together to form a larger molecule
dehydration synthesis
primary source of energy for body
carbohydrates
monomers of carbohydrates
saccharides
monosaccharide
simple sugar
what are the monosaccharides?
fructose,glucose, galactose
two monosaccharide bound in a dehydration synthesis reaction
disaccharide
what are the dissacharide?
lactose, maltose, sucrose
long chains of (3+) monosaccharide (complex carbohydrate)
polysaccharide
animal storage form of polysaccharide
glycogen
