|
How many essential and non essential amino acids |
9 essential 11 nonessential |
|
What is the purpose of having enzymes in our bodies |
Break substances making them usable |
|
Capillary action |
Movement is caused by attraction between molecules both using cohesion and adhesion |
|
Why can water withstand a great deal of heat without undergoing change |
Polarized molecules, cohesion, stick together and are hard to break apart while adhesion causes the water to stick to other things |
|
Three factors of enzyme action |
Temperature, pH, and concentration of enzymes and substrates |
