Biological molecules -EBI

Amylase is needed for

starch hydrolysis

ATP is formed in a

condensation reaction

In DNA transcription there is

a template strand

one new strand in each molecule

what bonds form between nucleotides

phosphodiester bonds

water has a high heat capacity so

buffers change in temperature

water has a large latent heat of vaporisation so

provides a cooling effect

non-reducing sugar

-reducing sugar test

-get a new sample and add dilute hydrochloric acid and neutralise with sodium carbonate

-add benedict’s solution and add to a water bath

ATP is formed from

a molecule of ribose, a molecule of adenine and 3 phosphate groups.

ATP stands for

adenosine triphosphate

ADP stands for

adenosine diphosphate

hydrolysis of ATP forms

ADP and an inorganic phosphate group

hydrolysis from ATP to ADP and a phosphate group is catalysed by

the enzyme, ATP hydrolase

ATP is resynthesized by the condensation of

ADP and a phosphate group

the condensation of ADP and a phosphate group to form ATP is catalysed by

the enzyme, ATP synthase

(during photosynthesis or respiration)
