AP Biology - The Chemistry of Life Latest Update Already Passed 4 classes of organic molecules 1. carbohydrates 2. proteins 3. lipids 4. nucleic acids acid substance that increases the molarity of hydrogen ions in a solution, decreasing pH (simultaneously diminishes the molarity of hydroxide ions, because product of the molarities of both is always 10^-14) adhesion the tendency of water molecules to stick to other substances; enables transportation of H2O against gravity in vascular...

active site (biochemistry) - the region of an enzyme that binds to a protein or to another substance during a reaction, where catalytic activity occurs allosteric site (biochemistry) - site at which a small regulatory molecule interacts with an enzyme to inhibit or active that specific enzyme, binding of allosteric effector is in general noncovalent and reversible amino acid (biochemistry / molecular genetics) - a simple organic compound containing a carboxyl group and an amino group am...
