Question | Answer |
---|---|
all organic compounds contain | Carbon |
Monomers | building block for organic chemistry |
polymers | macromolecules; monomers put together |
4 types of macromolecule/4 types of organic compounds | carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acid |
RXNS means | reaction |
protein is made up of | C,H,O,N |
protein is used to build what | muscle |
indication test for protein | Biuret |
what type of organic compound is an enzyme | protein |
what do enzymes do | they speed up chemical reactions (digestion in humans) |
are enzymes ever used up? | no |
substrate | the chemical reacting with the enzyme |
the enzyme catalase is found where? | cow liver |
are substrates specific? | yes |
what effects the structure of an enzyme | temperature and pH |
how does temperature and pH effect an enzyme | they change the shape of the enzyme so it can no longer fit the substrate |

how many enzymes and substrates can match each other | only one |
what is the connection line of the enzyme and the substrate | activation site |
what is the step called when the enzyme and substrate combine | ES complex |
when the enzyme and substrate split what happens to the substrate | it splits into what is called the product |
what do the names of enzymes normally end in | -ase- |
what is the substrate for the enzyme catalase | Hydrogen peroxide ( H2O2) |
what is the product of H2O2 and catalase | H2O(water) and O (oxygen gas) |

what is polysaccharide | starches |
carbohydrates are made up of | C,H,O |
test for carbohydrates | iodine, benedicts solution |
what do carbohydrates provide | energy |
Lipids are | fats and oils and wax |
lipids are made up of | C,H,O |
lipids provide | insulation (blubber on whales), long term energy, improve vision |
lipid monomers | fatty acids, glyceral |
indication test for lipids | the brown bag test |
Nucleic acids are made up of | C,H,O,N,phosphorus |
what do nucleic acids do | store genetic material (RNA, DNA) for living organisms |
nucleic acids monomers | Nucleotides(phosphate group, sugars, nitrogen base) |
a nucleotide is made up of what | phosphate, pentose sugar, and nitrogenous base |
the pH scale measures what | acidity and basicity or a solution |
0-6 on the pH scale indicates | and acid |
7 on the pH scale indicates | a neutral |
8-14 on the pH scale indicates | a base |
a buffer | weak acid or base used to control pH |
