Organic Compounds

AB
glycogencarbohydrate storage in animals; excess glucose stored in humans
starchcarbohydrate storage in plants
cellulose & lactosetypes of carbohydrate
proteinstype of organic compounds that are enzymes; contain only carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, & nitrogen; building blocks of amino acids; catalysts for chemical reactions
enzymesdecrease activation energy in chemical reactions; biological catalysts; highly specific; have an optimal temperature & optimal pH
amylasetype of enzyme in the mouth
polymermade up of many monomers
-aseending for most enzymes
carbohydratescontain only carbon, hydrogen & oxygen; examples are starch & glucose; short-term energy
lock & key modelanother term for enzyme-substrate complex
enzyme-substrate complexanother term for lock & key model
nitrogenelement found in proteins & nucleic acids, but not in carbohydrates & lipids
pepsintype of enzyme in the stomach
-oseending for most sugars
lipidssource of long-term stored energy; part of cell membrane; fats, oils, waxes & steroids
nucleic acidscontain only carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, & phosphorus; determine which traits may be inherited; examples are DNA & RNA
