active transport - ANSWER-movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a
region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration—against the
concentration gradient. Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this
movement.
allosteric bond - ANSWER-The regulation of an enzyme by binding an effector molecule
at a site other than the enzyme's active site.
amino acids - ANSWER-building blocks of proteins
Carbohydrates - ANSWER-Are sugar molecules- our body breaks down carbohydrates
into glucose. Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body's cells,
tissues, and organs.
Carbonyl - ANSWER-a functional group composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to
an oxygen atom: C=O.
Condensation - ANSWER-The change of state from a gas to a liquid
covalent bond - ANSWER-A chemical bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons
between atoms in a molecule
Endocytosis - ANSWER-process by which a cell takes material into the cell by infolding
of the cell membrane
Exocytosis - ANSWER-a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released
to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.
facilitated diffusion - ANSWER-the passive movement of molecules across the cell
membrane via the aid of a membrane protein.
Golgi apparatus - ANSWER-stack of membranes in the cell that modifies, sorts, and
packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum
Hydrolysis - ANSWER-the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with
water.
Hydroxyl - ANSWER-the chemical group, ion, or radical OH that consists of one atom of
hydrogen and one of oxygen and is neutral or negatively charged.
