Levels of organization Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, found in food help make me along with nucleic acids!!!! Levels of organization Macromolecule

Monomer vs Polymer Monomer-single unit Polymer: many single units joined together Dehydration Synthesis: removing water to form polymers Hydrolysis: adding water to break down into monomers

Function WITHOUT Enzymes Enzymes: Are Proteins Enzymes accelerate, or catalyze, chemical reactions No living organism can Function WITHOUT Enzymes Enzymes: 1. Build molecules: Synthesis Enzymes 2. Break Down Molecules: Digestive enzymes 3. Speed up reactions: Catalysts 4. Lowers activation energy:

Lock and Key Theory Each enzyme needs to be the right shape for the job. Can affect the enzyme action. Temperature pH If the temp. and pH is to extreme the enzyme will denature. Denature: permanently change the shape of the enzyme. Will no longer work

Enzymes are proteins Each enzyme is the specific helper to a specific reaction enzymes are named for the reaction they help sucrase breaks down sucrose proteases breakdown proteins lipases breakdown lipids DNA polymerase builds DNA Oh, I get it! They end in -ase
