Name:________________________ Unit 2: Organic Molecules & Enzymes Unit 2 Key Take-Aways: There are 4 main organic molecules needed by all living organisms! Each molecule is made of smaller subunits (building blocks) and has a specific function. Enzymes are proteins with a specific shape that act as catalysts to speed up reactions, again & again. Enzymes can be denatured by temperature and pH. Vocabulary (Choose 5 to define): acid, base, buffers, Carbohydrate, Lipid, Protein, Nucleic Acid, subunit, catalyst, enzyme, pH, molecule, organic, inorganic, reaction, denature, solute, solvent, solution, digestion, product, reactant, glycogen, cellulose, substrate, activation energy, monomer, polymer, polysaccharide, monosaccharide Mastery Quiz #1: Mastery Quiz #2: Unit 2 Test:
