Large bodies of water (oceans and lakes) can absorb large amounts of heat with only small changes in temperature. This protects organisms living within from drastic changes in temperature

Proteins are polymers made of monomers called amino acids
CHONS
All proteins are made of 20 different amino
acids linked in different orders
Proteins are used to build cells, act as
hormones & enzymes, and do much of the
work in a cell

Amino acids have a central carbon with 4 things boded to it:
Amino group –NH2
Carboxyl group -COOH
Hydrogen -H

Cells link amino acids together to make proteins
The process is called
dehydration synthesis
Peptide bonds form
to hold the amino
acids together

Enzymes work on substances called substrates
Substrates must fit into a place on an enzyme called the active site
Enzymes are reusable!

The lactase enzyme breaks the bond between glucose and galactose so you can digest lactose (milk).
Lactose free milk contains the same sugars but they are already broken down = easier to digest for those lactose intolerant.
