Biology SL – Chapter 4 questions Page 57 1. a) Difference between protein and polypeptide: Proteins have a structure formed by one or more polypeptide chains whilst a polypeptide is a chain of amino acids. b) Fat and oil differences: They are both lipids‚ but fats are solid whilst oil are liquids. c) Difference between starch and glycogen: Starch is a polysaccharide found in plant tissue whilst glycogen has polysaccharide found in animals. d) Condensation and hydrolysis:

Biology- Maintaining a Balance Summary 1. Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range 1. identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts in living things (they lower the amount of energy needed for a reaction‚ therefore increasing rate of reaction). Enzymes speed up reactions but are not used up by them. Enzymes catalyze only one

1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. To start off with we will need to define photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis is a process in which carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and certain inorganic salts are converted into carbohydrates by green plants‚ algae and certain bacteria using energy from the sun and chlorophyll (dictionary.com). Respiration is all of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen

enzyme-catalyzed reaction is called a substrate. The area of the enzyme that binds to the substrate is called the active site - where the action takes place. * Cofactors and coenzymes are small molecules or ions that help enzymes to act.
