"4 Biomolecules and Monomers correct answers Protein (amino acids) Carbohydrates (simple sugars) Lipids (glycerol and fatty acids) Nuclei acids (nucleotides)" dipeptides correct answers two amino acids bonded together what is the general fatty acid formula correct answers CH3(CH2)nCOOH where n= an even number between 12 and 24 explain identifying saturated vs. unsaturated fats correct answers saturated: only single bonds in hydrocarbon chain... unsaturated: one or more double bonds glycerides correct answers glycerol and 3 fatty acids Levels of Protein Structure correct answers 1. order of amino acids 2. alpha-helices or beta-pleated sheets 3. bonding b/w a.a. side chains 4. multi-subunit structure nucleotide is composed of correct answers phosphate group; sugar group; nitrogenous base Vmax correct answers maximum reaction rate at which point substrate is saturated with enzyme Feedback Inhibition correct answers end-product of enzyme catalyzed rxn. blocks original enz. Competitive Inhibition correct answers molecules compete with substrate for enzyme's active sites irreversible inhibitors correct answers chemically and covalently bind to active site; rendering it permanently inactive psuedoirreversible inhibitors correct answers extremely high affinities for active site; hard to displace noncompetitive inhibitors correct answers do not compete for active site but act elsewhere on enz.; altering 3D shape photosynthesis correct answers anabolic process that converts sunlight into energy stored in the phosphate bonds of ATP, then more permanently stored in bonds of organic carbon compounds electron transport chain correct answers series of carrier molecules on the inner mitochondrial membrane which pass electrons through enzymes that pump protons to one side of the membrane, creating a proton gradient
