Enzymes are proteins. They are very important because they catalyse metabolic processes in the body that would not be able to occur without them. Their function is dependant upon their shape. If an enzyme is not the correct shape for the molecules it need to bind to then it will not be able to catalyse the process it is involved in.
The shapes (quaternery structure) of enzymes are the result of attractive forces between funtional groups within the protein. These attrative forces are quite weak, and high temperatures within the body will break them and the enzymes will lose their shape (they are de-natured). Once the structure is lost it cannot be reformed again, so the process regulated by any enzyme that has denatured no longer function properly.
Proteins, because enzymes are proteins. Enzymes can become denatured by high temperatures, meaning that they will no longer work, and they will no longer be able to break things down in the body.
Proteins are the class of organic molecules that are damaged by high temperatures, resulting in denaturation. This process alters the protein's structure and can lead to loss of function.
Enzymes which are proteins.
proteins!
Yes, hydrocarbons are a major class of organic compounds that are composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They form the basis of many important organic molecules, such as alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
All organic compounds contain the element carbon.
Functional groups are an aspect of organic chemistry that signifies the specific groups of atoms and bonds in molecules that are responsible for the characteristic behaviors of the class of compounds that the group is in.
Sugars are placed in the category of organic molecules known as carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are a class of compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and they include sugars, starches, and fibers. Sugars are further classified as simple carbohydrates, which include monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose) and disaccharides (such as sucrose and lactose).
Fats belong to a group of organic compounds called lipids. Lipids are a diverse group of molecules that include fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids.
major class of molecules found in egg yolk
Lipids, specifically triglycerides, provide long-term energy storage in the form of fat in animals and oils in plants. These molecules are highly efficient at storing energy because they contain more energy per gram than carbohydrates or proteins.
No. Epithelium is a protective layer of cells typically covering the outside of an organ or the lining of the wall of a cavity in the body. All body cells need organic molecules to provide energy for building proteins, lipids, and other organic molecules.
pyrimidines
pyrimidines
Purines
specially sequenced polypeptides or most important are oligosacchrides
An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon.ribonucleic acid contains carbon.
Proteins. Answer obtained from biology class.
All organic compounds contain the element carbon.
No. Steroids are a class of organic molecules and are relatively small. They do not in any way store genetic material.
Functional groups are an aspect of organic chemistry that signifies the specific groups of atoms and bonds in molecules that are responsible for the characteristic behaviors of the class of compounds that the group is in.
