Chemical reactions

How can you tell if a

substance is a reactant or
product? (L2)

The process that changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals
Reactant:
- Elements or compounds that cause reactions
Product
The product of a chemical reaction.
Exothermic/ Endothermic:
Explain how you can tell Exo= out
if a reaction is
End= out
endothermic or
One of these mean that energy is being released or absorbed.
exothermic. (L4)
Enzymes
Metabolism: All the chemical substances forming one bigger substance
Catabolism: One big substance splitting into one.
Regulations of Enzyme Activity:
Inform how you can tell if
enzyme activity is happening
or not, (L4)

Inhibitors:
Something that stops the enzyme from working
Competitive:
Competes for active site: mimics
Non-competitive:
Bind to another part of a enzyme. (The original key)
Optimum Temperature: the temp. at which an enzyme works best.
Denature:
When high temps. Break chemical bonds leading to shape change.
Saliva Lab Summary:
In our experiment, my group wanted to see what a substances color would
be when reacted with iodine. For example, water reacted with iodine turns yellow.
Yellow means that the substance contains sugar. When a reactant turns purple then
that means that a substance contains starch. This means that if you put iodine in a
liquid then the outcome would be purple. This proves that the substance contains

starch.
What are structures of
macromolecules? (L1)

Structures of macromolecules:

Some macro molecules have a 1:2:1 ratio.

Some macromolecules contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen
Summarize the
characteristics of lipids
and the monomers that
make it. (L3)

This lipid has a 1:2:1 ratio and

contains a carbon. Hydrogen, and oxygen elements.

Summary: I learned that there are many types of macromolecules. Some types of macromolecules are
acids, lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. These molecules help the body in many ways. For example,
proteins help repair body tissue. Another example is carbohydrates helping the body. Carbohydrates aid
the body to provide energy. This means that carbohydrates are the main fuel sources for the body. I
learned that most of these macromolecules also contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. Some of
these macromolecules even have a certain structure. For example, one may be formed in a circular shape,
or have a ratio. (1:2:1)
