Life At The Molecular Level

Which of the following macromolecules are a prominent part of animal tissues that function in insulation, helping animals conserve heat?

• Lipids

• Carbohydrates

• Nucleic Acids

• Proteins

Proteins are among the most diverse group of macromolecules because of the —

• different amino acids that can be connected in many sequences

• different types of bonds linking amino acids together

• energy phosphate groups that the amino acids contain

• link between each DNA base and an amino acid in a protein

Which is true of enzymes?

• Enzymes are consumed in the reaction

• Enzymes lower the activation energy for the reaction

• Enzymes increase the amount of energy produced

• One enzyme can catalyze many different substrates

What is the function of enzymes in biological systems?

• Enzymes bond with substrates to create the new reaction products.

• Enzymes act as catalysts to drive chemical reactions forward.

• Enzymes act as products to create new chemical reactions.

• Enzymes act as substrates when the necessary proteins are unavailable
