Biomolecules

3. most abundant element in the universe; has one proton; is number 1 on the periodic table
5. all cell functions; CHON; structural, defense/immunity. transport, enzymes
6. the amount of energy required to get a chemical reaction started; this is what is lowered by enzymes
7. this is a phrase that represents how to view enzymes and their substrates; HINT- you secure things with these and open with the other
9. DNA & RNA; transfers and carries genetic information
11. CHO;1:2:1 ration; primary source of energy; short-term energy
13. the monomer for lipids; will typically be accompanied by glycerol
14. biological catalysts; every one of these are proteins;
15. CHO; fats, waxes, and oils; saturated and unsaturated; long-term energy storage; second source of energy
16. this is where the substrate binds to the enzyme in order to be acted upon

1. this is what binds to the enzyme and is acted upon
2. the monomer unit for carbohydrates
4. all life on Earth contains this element; it has unique properties that make it suitable to be the atom that is in all biomolecules and makes thing "organic"
8. the monomer and thus building blocks of proteins
10. these are what are produced at the end of a chemical reaction
12. the monomer name for nucleic acids; has three parts - phosphate, 5'Carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base
