They also won’t be found all over the body‚ enzymes are found in neural cells‚ intestinal cells‚ and saliva. Enzymes are among the many organic macromolecules‚ they specifically belong to the proteins. Proteins are made of amino acids which link together to be folded into a three-dimensional figure. Enzymes are a different type of proteins because they make chemical reactions happen faster without

Structure and function of macromolecules within a living organism ‘Some biological molecules in organisms are small and simple containing only one or a few functional groups‚ others are large‚ complex assemblies called macromolecules’ [1]. The term macromolecule is convenient because the bulk properties of a macromolecule differ from those of smaller molecules. These large chemical compounds have a high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

Introduction: Macromolecules are necessary for every living organism to survive. Macromolecules consist of carbohydrates; proteins; lipids; and nucleic acids. The purpose of this project was to find out how macromolecules help your body function. Two weeks ago‚ I recorded everything that I consumed for 7 days. I recorded all of this data on a food tracker. This food tracker listed the amount of grains; vegetables; fruits; dairy; and proteins that I ate. Carbohydrates: You need carbohydrates in
