| 5482011369 | Protein function | "building blocks" | 19 | |
| 5482016067 | Organic Compound types ( Carbohydrate) | "mono", "poly", and "di" saccarides Mono to mono- di - dehydration synthesis "di+mono = mono+mono (hydrolysis) can be... sugar/starches Smaller carbohydrate=smaller "mono" saccaride Complex carbohydrate=bigger "poly" saccaride | | 20 |
| 5482018186 | Organic Compound types (lipids) | examples- oils,wax,and butter | | 21 |
| 5482018187 | Organic Compound types( protein) | humans-20 amino acids R chain changes but everything else stays the same | 22 | |
| 5482035191 | Enzyme-substrate complex | Catalyst are protein based catalyst known as enzymes which bind to only one substrate. Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction which begins with recants and combined to from a product or products |  | 23 |
| 5482041498 | Enzymes | Proteins- long chains of amino acids Needed to survive or food will not digest Work in either a neutral, acidic, or basic environment- only one contains an active site |  | 24 |
| 5482048890 | Factors that effect Enzymes (Temperature) | Can increase or decrease effectiveness's humans-98.6 degrees Fahrenheit | 25 | |
| 5482048891 | Factors that effect Enzymes (PH level) | Thrive under certain conditions Acid- stomach Base- cleaners Neutral- water based | 26 | |
| 5482048892 | Factors that effect Enzymes (Numbers) | the more enzymes you have the faster the reactions | 27 | |
| 5482049447 | Factors that effect Enzymes (Regulatory molecules) | chemicals within a cell which can turn enzymes on or off | 28 | |
| 5482061751 | PH level | 0-7 = Stronger acid 7-14 = Stronger base 7 = Neutral |  | 29 |
| 5482065350 | Small intestine (PH level) | 8 or 9 base related enzymes | 30 | |
| 5482066003 | Buffers | found inside cells to stabilize the internal PH of a cell | 31 | |
| 5482067411 | Water (PH level) | neutral or 7 polar molecule | 32 | |
| 5482069807 | Stomach acid (PH level) | 2 acid related enzymes | 33 | |
| 5482072613 | Salivary Amylase | start to break down large poly-saccarides before it enters the mouth | 34 | |
| 5482076332 | Lactase | breaks down diary di- sacarides to a mono-sacardies | 35 | |

| 5482086508 | Digestion Step One | ingestion |  | 41 |
| 5482086509 | Digestion Step Two | food is broken down into pieces absorbed by our small intestines | | 42 |
| 5482086908 | Digestion Step Three | Absorption- small intestines absorb nutrients into blood. Large intestines absorb water | | 43 |
