WGU C785 Module 2 questions and answers
2026\2027 A+ Grade
Activation Energy
- correct answer The energy required to start a chemical reaction.
Amino acid
- correct answer An amino acid is a small molecule containing an amino group and a carboxylic acid
group as well as a side chain of variable structure, called an R group
Catalyst
- correct answer substances that speed up chemical reactions and remain unchanged by the reaction
they facilitate
Chaperones
- correct answer Helper molecules that assist the folding of a newly made polypeptide.
Competitive inhibitor
- correct answer A molecule which competes with the substrate for binding to the enzyme active site
there by inhibiting the enzyme's activity.
Denaturation
- correct answer A process by which the native functional structure of a molecule has been disrupted
disulfide bond
- correct answer A double bond between two Sulphur atoms in cysteine side chains.
