(AKS 1a, 1a1)
What do Carbohydrates provide us with?
•
What are the building blocks/monomers of carbohydrates?
•
Compare monosaccharides, disaccharides, and a polysaccharides.
•
In what form do animals store starch....and where in the body?
•
In what form do plants store carbohydrates in their cell walls?
•
Sketch a glucose molecule. What is the chemical formula for glucose?
What do lipids provide us with?
•
What are the building blocks/
monomers of lipids?
•
Describe the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?
•
Sketch the structural formula for a glycerol molecule and a fatty acid molecule.
What do proteins provide us with?
•
What are the building blocks/monomers of proteins?
•
Sketch
an amino acid: Label the amino group, carboxyl group, and “R” group.
•
Compare a dipeptide and a polypeptide.
•
What is a peptide bond?
Compare and contrast dehydration synthesis (condensation) and hydrolysis.
What is the importance of “Activation Energy” in
metabolic function?
•
Define: potential, kinetic, and chemical energy
•
What is the relationship between chemical bonds and potential energy
•
What is the difference between endergonic and exergonic reactions?
Why are catalysts important for metabolism and home
ostasis?
•
What is an enzyme?
•
List some characteristics of an enzyme.
•
Draw a graph with 1 line showing a reaction WITHOUT an enzyme catalyst and another line WITH an enzyme
catalyst.
Sketch a model comparing and contrasting
the “lock
-and
-key” and “induced fit” models of enzyme activity.
•
Be sure to label and define active site, enzyme substrate complex, reactants and products.
•
Be sure to label your model as a dehydration synthesis reaction or hydrolysis reaction.
•
Be sure to
“name”
your substrate and
“name”
your enzyme appropriately.
•
You can make up a name!
What are three factors that affect enzyme activity?
•
Sketch 3 simple graphs to show how each impacts enzyme activity.
•
What does
denature
mean?
•
What is an enzyme inhibitor?
