triglycerides phospholipids steroids wax |
|
describe triglycerides |
1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids used for storing energy |
|
describe phospholipids |
1 glycerol + negative phosphate + 2 fatty acids |
|

consists of DNA and RNA and phosphate group |
|
whats the difference between vitamins and minerals |
vitamins are organic and help enzymes function minerals are inorganic required in small amount |
|
define enzymes |
chemical that speeds up a chemical reaction |
|
define catalyst |
speeds up a chemical reaction |
|
how do enzymes work |
they have a specific shape that fits a specific substrate |
|
what is the active site |
part of enzyme that bonds with substrate |
|
describe competitive and noncompetitve inhibitors |
competitive bonds to the active site and prevents bonding with substrates and noncompetitive attaches to somewhere not the active site and changes shape to prevent bonding with substrates |
|
describe coenzymes and cofactors |
help with moulding the substrate with he enzyme |
|
