WGU C785 Module 2 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Activation Energy - CORRECT ANSWER - The energy required to start a
chemical reaction.
Amino acid - CORRECT ANSWER - An amino acid is a small molecule
containing an amino group and a carboxylic acid group as well as a side
chain of variable structure, called an R group
Catalyst - CORRECT ANSWER - substances that speed up chemical
reactions and remain unchanged by the reaction they facilitate
Chaperones - CORRECT ANSWER - Helper molecules that assist the
folding of a newly made polypeptide.
Competitive inhibitor - CORRECT ANSWER - A molecule which
competes with the substrate for binding to the enzyme active site there
by inhibiting the enzyme's activity.
Denaturation - CORRECT ANSWER - A process by which the native
functional structure of a molecule has been disrupted
disulfide bond - CORRECT ANSWER - A double bond between two
Sulphur atoms in cysteine side chains.
