Unit Opener: Carnivorous plant= Venus flytrapLike other carnivores, the Venus flytrap eats animals to get
nutrients that it needs to make molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Other chemical compounds made by plant’s cells enable the Venus flytrap to digest the animals that it eats. These chemicals are similar to the chemicals that allow you to digest the food that you eat.
If plants can make their own food through photosynthesis, why would a plant species evolve a mechanism to capture and eat animals?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Venus flytraps grow in swampy areas that have nitrogen poor soil. These plants get the nitrogen they need for survival by trapping and digesting animals.

Stahl Biology
High specific heat= water resists changes in temperature; therefore water must absorb more heat energy to increase temperature.
*Very important with cells because our cells release a lot of heat and water absorbs that heat which allows us to regulate cell temperatures. Cohesion-> __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*Makes water molecules stick together.*Ex- beads on a car when it is washed*Spider walking on top of the water.
Adhesion-> __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*Water molecules stick to other things.*Ex- upward curve of the surface of the
water-> graduated cylinder*Ex- plants transport water up their
roots to their leaves.
Many compounds dissolve in water – UNIVERSAL SOLVENT Molecules and ions can’t take part in chemical processes inside cells unless they dissolve in water. Materials such as sugar and oxygen cannot be transported from one part of an organism to another unless they are dissolved in blood, plant sap, or water based fluids.

Sum it up! Properties of Water:1. Hydrogen Bonding- strong cohesion (insects walking on water)2. Capillary Action- water moves upward (Roots to leaves)3. Strong Adhesion- attraction between two unlike substances4. Universal Solvent- dissolves everything5. High Specific Heat- cools / heats up slowly to allow temperatures in
organisms to maintain homeostasis6. Expands when freezes making it less dense

- Your body makes 12 and the others need to be ingested through meat, beans, and nuts.
- All have similar structures: hydrogen atom, an amino group (NH2), and a carboxyl group (COOH).

by peptide bonds.

What causes bonds in oxygen and glucose molecules to break?_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What happens when new bonds form in carbon dioxide and water? When new bonds form, energy is released and this energy that is
released is equal to the amount of energy that breaks the same bond.
Sometimes bonds can form a chemical equilibrium, meaning they are reversible and the same on both sides of the equation.

Stahl Biology
Ex- Blood cells and plasma transport materials throughout the body. Carbonic acid dissolves in the blood so that carbon dioxide can be transported to the lungs.

as well as keep your body warm). Endothermic
________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Example- photosynthesis-> plants absorb energy from the sun and
use that energy to make simple and complex carbohydrates.

Enzymes!!!!!How did the Venus flytrap digest the frog? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Break down food into smaller molecules that the body can use.
What is activation energy? _____________________________________________________________
Most of the time the activation energy for a chemical reaction comes from a _________________________________ sometimes the process is very slow.
In order to speed the process up substances called _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When a catalyst (ex- enzymes) is present less energy is needed and products form a lot __________________.
What are two functions of catalysts in chemical reactions?1.2.
Enzymes:
Definition= ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reactants are usually found at very low concentrations in the body, but really need to occur quickly.
20
Stahl Biology
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________ Temperature, concentration, and ph can affect the shape, function,
rate, and activity of the enzyme. ________________________________________________________ If temperature is a little elevated then the hydrogen bonds will fall
apart, the enzyme structure will change, and its ability to function will be lost.
This is the reason why a high temperature / fever is very dangerous to a person.
Examples: 1._______________________________________________________
________________________________________________________ 2._______________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
The structure is so important because ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Specific reactant an enzyme acts on are called ________________________
The sites where substrates bind to enzymes are called ________________________.
Enzymes bring substrate molecules close together, then they decrease activation energy, substrates attach together and their bonds are weakened, and then the catalyzed reaction forms a product that is released from the enzyme.

Reflection
On a sheet of paper, review the three parts of the lock and key model and write a paragraph (3-5 sentences) describing the analogy. Consider why the model is described as a lock and key. Also identify the different parts and what happens to each part after the reaction is complete. You may use your notes only as a guide.
