2
Tested corn & milk for macromolecules Cow used macromolecules in its food to create new macromolecules Food provides energy & raw materials for growth
3
Blocks You broke down & reassembled proteins in a chain from plants to cows to humans Your hands were enzymes One handed (lower concentration) was slower Non dominant hand (denatured) was the slowest
4
Tested milk for glucose Observed how lactase breaks down lactose to produced glucose Enzymes can be used to break down or build macromolecules
5
Energy Diagrams Heat of reaction Activation energy Reactants Products
6
Looked at the effects of variables on enzyme function Enzyme/ substrate concentration pH temperature
7
Polymer/ monomer Carbohydrates/ simple sugars (glucose) Lipids/ fatty acids Proteins/ amino acids Nucleic acids/ nucleotides Functions
8
Substrate Active site Specificity Not used up/ reusable Biological catalysts Speed chemical reactions Reduce activation energy
9
Decomposition Hydrolysis Synthesis Dehydration synthesis
