| 695378964 | Biology | The study of living things. | |
| 695378965 | Enzymes | Proteins that speed up the chemical reactions that make life possible. | |
| 695378966 | What are enzymes functions? | speed up chemical reactions, do not change in a chemical reaction, are sensitive to surrounding conditions, and lower activation energy. | |
| 695378967 | Lactase | Enzyme that breaks apart the lactose molecule. Without it, causes lactose intolerance. | |
| 695378968 | Catalyst | Compound that changes the speed of a chemical reaction without itself being changed by the reaction, | |
| 695378969 | Are all proteins enzymes? | No. | |
| 695378970 | What makes is possible for the body to digest a milk product? | Breaking apart the disaccharide lactose molecule into two monosaccharide molecules. | |
| 695378971 | What happens when the full lactose molecule is not absorbed completely? | Abdominal cramps and other symptoms from consuming too much lactose. | |
| 695378972 | How many different enzymes are there in the human body? | 1500. | |
| 695378973 | What does the suffix *ase* indicate? | That a chemical is an enzyme/ | |
| 695378974 | What does amylases do? | Breaks up starches. | |
| 695378975 | What does cellulases do? | Break up cellulose fibers/ remove tiny fibers from cotton cloth that make the cloth stiff and clothes dull/ preventing pilling (small fuzz balls). | |
| 695378976 | Lipases | Breaks up oils and fats. | |
| 695378977 | Proteases | Breaks up proteins. | |
| 695378978 | Can enzymes recognize and interact with specific molecules? | Yes. | |
| 695378979 | What other roles do enzymes partake in your body? | They play roles in building the structural proteins that make up your body and help your body quickly rid of extra carbon/ maintain homeostasis. | |
| 695378980 | What enzyme is structures to interact with molecules of lactose? | Lactase | |
| 695378981 | Substrate | The molecule that an enzyme interacts with. | |
| 695378982 | Active site | The region of the enzyme that recognized the substrate. It often appears as a groove or indentation of the surface of the enzyme, into which that substrate fits. | |
| 695378983 | Substrate molecules | bind to an enzyme's active site to produce an enzyme*substrate complex. Once bound, the enzyme shifts its shape slightly, bringind its peptide chains in closer contact with the substrate molecule, much like a catcher's mitt clasping a baseball. | |
| 695378984 | Product | The end result of an enzyme catalyzed reaction. | |
| 695378985 | Galactose and glucose are the products of what reaction? | Enzyme substrate complex. | |
| 695378986 | Protein synthesis | The amino end of one amino acid forms a peptide bond with the carboxyl end of another. | |
| 695378987 | An enzyme that can hold both substrates together in proper orientation helps what? | Ensure that peptide bonds can form b/w amino acids. | |
| 695378988 | Activation energy | The amount of energy required for a reaction to take place. | |
| 695378989 | With the amount of enzyme held constant, as the concentration of substrate increases, ... | the rate of the reaction also increases. | |
| 695378990 | Coenzymes | Temporary parts of enzymes that move about and temporarily bind with an enzyme, then move on and interact with other enzymes. | |
| 695378991 | Zinc | Zn | |
| 695378992 | Copper | Cu | |
| 695378993 | Cofactors | Compounds required by certain enzymes. | |
| 695378994 | pH | how acidic or basic the environment is. | |
| 695378995 | Does the pH of an enzymes environment effect an enzymes activities? | yes. |
