A substance that causes or that speeds up a chemical reaction while the substance itself remains unchanged?
catalyst
What are the chains of smaller molecules that make up proteins called?
Amino acids
Molecules consisting of subunits called nucleotides are called?
[Macromolecular] Chains of ribose based nucleotides are Rna while Chains of 2'-Deoxy Ribose based nucleotides are called Dna.
What are made from simpler molecules called amino acids?
Proteins
Individual chains of the DNA double helix are made up of molecules called?
nucleotides
What are pathways that require energy to combine molecules together called?
Anabolic pathways require energy to combine simple molecules into more complex ones.
Chains of chemical reactions in living organisms are called?
Bio-chemical reactions.
How its called The ordered sequence of reactions that move store and release energy?
metabolic pathways
How do enzymes affect reactions in living cells?
Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze (i.e., increase the rates of) chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical reactions.
Why catabolic reactions are called convergent reactions?
The various degradative pathways of catabolism are convergent. That is, many hundreds of different proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids are broken down into relatively few catabolic end products. The hundreds of anabolic pathways,however, are divergent. That is, the cell uses relatively few biosynthetic precursor molecules to synthesize a vast number of different proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids.
What are energy yielding reactions called?
In the metabolic pathways it's catabolism. The breakdown of matter to harvest Energy
Is DNA is a protein?
No. Proteins are made of long chains of amino acids. DNA is made of long chains of only four nucelotides: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
Chains that contain only 2 glucose molecules are called?
Maltose.
What do you call the molecules which make reactions work such as the breakdown of food molecules?
Those types of molecules are called enzymes.
A substance that causes or that speeds up a chemical reaction while the substance itself remains unchanged?
catalyst
What proteins are vital living things because of they speed up chemical reactions by up to a trillion times?
You are thinking of enzymes a protein molecule that helps other organic molecules enter into chemical reactions with one another but is itself unaffected by these reactions. In other words, enzymes act as catalysts (speed up 1000x) organic biochemical reactions.
What are the chains of smaller molecules that make up proteins called?
Amino acids
