Molecules of Life

An example of a monosaccharide is:

A phospholipid has a hydrophobic "head" and a hydrophilic "tail".

The building blocks of proteins are:

Steroids are a type of lipid.

Enzymes can be found in many diverse pH conditions.

The specific region where a substrate binds is called the:

Anabolic reactions are endergonic, this means that...

The most accepted model for how an enzyme works is called the:

A monosaccharide contains two sugar molecules

Carbohydrates are made up of:

Enzymes are used up during reactions and have to be constantly replaced

Glycogen is the energy storage compound in plant tissue.

Monosaccharaides are used as the primary energy source of metabolism.

Enzymes have a couple of functions, one is to:

Carbohydrates make up 60-90% of plant mass.

Biology is totally awesome!!!!

The most simple carbohydrates are called:

Fats provide twice as much energy as carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are important as:

Living things can be organised into several different levels. The most basic of these is:

Water has a low surface tension

<p>In catabolic reactions, large molecules are broken down into smaller components and...</p>

Enzymes speed up chemical reactions.

Enzymes can function at any temperature or pH.
