3318542489Heat: increase beyond optimum temp (enzymes)Denatures- increased energy level of molecules disrupts bonds in enzyme and between enzyme and substrate95
3318548595Cold: decrease temp (enzymes)Molecules move slower, decrease collisions between enzyme and substrate96
3318550083pH (enzymes)Depending on the level of pH the enzyme will denature or not97

3318579839Noncompetitive inhibitions (enzymes)Inhibitor binds to site other than active site104
3318586314Irreversible inhibition (enzymes)Inhibitor permanently binds to enzyme105

669552163Homestead ActAn act that gave applicants a land grant of 160 acres for $10, as long as they had proof of citizenship. After five years, with proof, they would be given the permanent land deed.0
669552164Morill ActLaw passed by Congress in July 1862 awarding proceeds from the sale of public lands to the states for the establishment of agricultural and mechanical colleges.1
669552165National Bank ActCreated the first national unified currency and provided funding for the Transcontinental Railroad2
669552166US Conscription ActMarch 1863- the first draft ever, it pulled 46,000 men into service, but a substitute could be bought for $3003
669552167CS Conscription ActApril 1862- Applied to all white males, 18-35, and called for 3 years of service. Substitutes were eliminated in 1863, but individuals owning more than 20 slaves could be exempted4
669552168Lincoln's First Inaugural AddressMarch 4, 1861- Mainly addressed the South, pledged to maintain federal property and attacks against the US would be treated as a rebellion, but THE UNION WAS UNDISSOLVABLE5
669552169Davis' Ingugural AddressFeburary 18, 1861- Tries to persuade Southerners that they had made a good decision and explained why secession is a good course, and that the South would prosper independently. No references to slavery, but plenty of references to God.6
669552170Crittenden CompromiseA desperate measure to prevent the Civil War, introduced by John Crittenden, Senator from Kentucky, in December 1860. The bill offered a Constitutional amendment recognizing slavery in the territories south of the 36º30' line, noninterference by Congress with existing slavery, and compensation to the owners of fugitive slaves. Republicans, on the advice of Lincoln, defeated it.7
669552171Lincoln's Goals1.) Union is restored 2.) Slavery must be abolished 3.) Confederate Army must be disbanded8
669552172GreenbacksName for Union paper money not backed by gold or silver. Value would fluctuate depending on status of the war9
669552173Anaconda PlanProposed by Gen. Winfield Scott, it called for Union forces to: 1.) Split the Confederacy 2.) Troops down the Mississippi 3.) A slow implementation 4.) Naval blockade10
669552174Ex parte Merrymana well-known U.S. federal court case which arose out of the American Civil War. It was a test of the authority of the President to suspend "the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus". Chief Justice Roger Taney, sitting as a Federal Circuit Court judge, ruled that the President could not suspend, but President Lincoln ignored the ruling, as did the Army under Lincoln's orders.11
669552175Ex parte Milligan1866 - Supreme Court ruled that military trials of civilians were illegal unless the civil courts are inoperative or the region is under marshall law.12
669552176Slaughterhouse CasesRuled that the 14th Amendment did not create a new set of national citizenship rights; did not give US gov. power to suppress ordinary crimes, only when states denied rights; did not prohibit private organizations from discriminating13
669552177US vs. Cruikshankoverruled the conviction of a number of whites who had rioted to prevent African Americans from voting. The Court ruled that the Constitution did not grant the rights of assembling peaceably and bearing arms; it merely prohibited Congress from infringing upon those rights14
669552178US vs. ReeseStated that the state cannot regulate voting rights based on color, but can use other miscellaneous tests (literacy...) to restrain voting. It also maintained that private descrimination was legal.15
669552179Civil Rights CasesThe 14th amendment protects individuals from state action, not individual action; thus, "individuals" (coporations, clubs, organizations etc.) became free to discriminate against African Americans or use their "individual status" to evade state regulations, 188316
669552180Civil Rights Act1866- was created to grant citizenship to blacks and it was an attempt to prohibit the black codes. It also prohibited racial discrimination on jury selection. The Civil Rights Act was not really enforced and was really just a political move used to attract more votes. It led to the creation and passing of the 14th amendment.17
669552181Wade-Davis Billan 1864 plan for Reconstruction that denied the right to vote or hold office for anyone who had fought for the Confederacy...Lincoln refused to sign this bill thinking it was too harsh.18
669552182Freedman's BureauProvided education to freed slaves, issued clothing, food, and medicine, and assumed custody of seized Confederate lands.19
66955218310% PlanPardon Confederates who take an oath to support the US Constitution (except Confederate officers & gov't officials), had to have 10% of registered voters in 1860 to accept pardon20
66955218440 Acres and a MuleIssued by Sherman, grants 40 acres of land and a mule to a freed family of slaves and formed an African-American colony in the Bear Islands, GA21

669552186Presidential ReconstructionMay 29, 1865- Gave amnesty to anyone who takes the oath to uphold the Constitution, no Confederate officers can vote, and a plantation owner worth more than $120,000 can come to ask, personally, for a pardon from the President23
