What is the optimal temperature for the enzyme lipase (shown in the graph below)? At what temperature would the enzymes become denatured?
Optimum temperature is 50°C • So much above that would denature the enzyme (break down the protein)
What is the independent variable in this graph? The dependent variable? What is being tested? Results?
Independent variable – time • Dependent variable – growth (cm) • Tested – soil type affect on plant growth • Results – N and P had most growth
This element (along with hydrogen) is present in all organic compounds.
Carbon is unique because it likes to form _____ bonds with itself.
These are the two main types of nucleic acids in living organisms.
DNA / RNA • ATP
C, H and O • Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen • 1:2:1 ratio
This is another name for a long chain of sugars bonded together
Quick energy • Communication in cells • Structure - cell walls in plants
C,H and O • Carbon, hydrogen and carbon
Makes up cell membranes • Long term energy storage • Waxes • Triglycerides
Fats & Fatty Acids • Phospholipids • Sterols • Waxes
They are nonpolar so not attracted to the polar water molecule • (fat/oil floats on water)
C, H, O and N • Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen
Amin group (N) • Carboxyl group – acid (COOH) • R group – anything • hydrogen
Many globular proteins function as this so chemical reactions can occur at a fast rate in living organisms.
These two things will cause enzymes to become inactive (denatured)
The liquid in the stomach has a pH of about 2. Which of the two enzymes would be active in the stomach?
Consider the data on the relationship between pH and enzyme activity shown in the graph. Do enzymes typically function only at a specific pH, or can they function within a range of pH values?
What does graph show about enzyme action and activation energy?
Enzymes lower activation energy • Really look at this graph - understand it?
