Unit Overview
Unit Objectives
CED Topic 3.1: Enzyme Structure
- Describe the properties of enzymes.
- Explain how enzymes affect the rate of biological reactions.
- Explain how changes to the structure of an enzyme may affect its functions.
- Explain how the cellular environment affects enzyme activity.
- Describe the role of energy in living organisms.
- Describe the photosynthetic processes that allow organisms to capture and store energy.
- Explain how cells capture energy from light and transfer it to biological molecules for storage and use.
- Describe the processes that allow organisms to use energy stored in biological macromolecules.
- Explain how cells obtain energy from biological macromolecules in order to power cellular functions.
- Explain the connection between variation in the number and types of molecules within cells to the ability of the organism to survive and/or reproduce in different environments.
