What bond connects amino acids? - peptide bonds
When an enzyme changes shape due to high heat - denatured
Nucleotide picture - What is this monomer?
To be organic what does a molecule have to have? - A C-H bond
Dehydration Synthesis - A chemical reaction in which two molecules covalently bond to each other
with the removal of a water molecule.
Monosaccharide (hexose) - This is a picture of a ___________. examples of this are glucose and
fructose.
Solute - The item being dissolved
Solvent - Water breaking apart molecules is a...
saturated fat - Single bonded, straight, unhealthy
What comes before the arrow in a chemical reaction. Also known as substrate. - Reactant
What comes after the arrow in a chemical reaction. - Product
What we call the reactant the substrate bonds to. - substrate
Activation Energy - The energy needed to start the reaction.
Active Site - The area of the enzyme where the substrat bonds
