CYOA-Concepts of Ch. 2
- Changes in Energy
and Chemical Reactions
- Chemical Reactions involve changes in bonds
- 9. How reactions occur
- Reactions that release energy occur on their own
- Reactions that absorb energy need an outside source
- 10. Parts of a reaction
- Chemical reaction - process that changes
one set of chemicals into another
- Reactants - Elements/Compounds
entering a chemical reaction
- Products - Elements/Compounds
produces by a chemical reaction
- Activation energy - Energy
needed to start a reaction
- Organisms must have a source
of energy in order to carry out
chemical reactions
- Functions of Enzymes
- What enzymes are
- Substrates - reactants of enzyme
reactions, bind to active site of enzymes
- Provide a site where
reactants are brought
together to react
- Are biological catalysts,
are in cells
- Catalyst - Substance that speeds
up rate of Chemical Reaction
- Uses of enzymes
- Make needed materials
- Transfer information
- Control chemical pathways
- release energy
- 8. How enzymes are affected
- Activity can be affected by
temperature, pH, and regulatory
molecules
- Can be switched "on" and
"off" by regulatory molecules
- Qualities of Carbon
- Carbon bonds
- 1. Elements it can bond with
- Can bond with many elements
including H, O, P, S, and N
- Can form molecules of
life with these elements
- 2. Types of bonds
- Can form strong
covalent bonds
- Carbons can bind to
each other, forming
chains
- Can form single, double,
or triple covalent bonds
- Have 4 valence electrons
- The four groups of
macromolecules
- Smaller units - monomers
- join to form larger units -
polymers
- Carbohydrates
- Consist of C,H, and O
- 3. Uses of Carbs
- Main source of energy
- Also used for structure
- Is sugar, stored as starch
- 4. Types of sugar
molecules
- Polysaccharides -
molecules composed of
several sugars -
includes glycogen
- Monosaccharides -
molecules that are only
one sugar - includes
glucose, galactose,
fructose
- Lipids
- consist of mostly C and H
- Uses of lipids
- Another form of energy storage
- Also used for waterproofing
- Are formed when glycerol
combines with fatty acids
- 6. Types of lipids
- Saturated - fatty acids cannot
hold any more H atoms
- Unsaturated - Contains at
least 1 C=C bond
- Proteins
- Consist of N, C, H, and O
- made of amino acids -
made of an amino acid
group and a carboxyl group
- 7. Uses of proteins
- Control rate of reactions
- Form important cellular
structures
- Regulate cell processes
- Transport substances in
and out of cells
- Fight disease
- Amino acid bonding
- Any amino acid can
join with another
- By bonding an amino
group to a carboxyl group
- Nucleic Acids
- Store and transmit genetic information
- Are DNA and RNA
- 5. What they are made of
- Consists of H, O, N, C, and P
- Made of nucleotides - made of 5-carbon
sugar, P group, and nitrogenous base
