  • a type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms of different species where one organism benefits, and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
    Commensalism
  • relationship where both species benefit
    Mutualism
  • relationship where one species benefits at the expense of the other
    Parasitism
  • relationship where one species benefits at the expense of the other
    Parasitism
  • relationship of barnacles and whales
    Commensalism
  • catalyze the hydrolysis of bonds by adding water molecules (e.g. lactase, lipase, and protease)
    Hydrolase
  • a hydrolase that breaks down lipids (or fats)
    Lipase
  • a glycoside hydrolase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch (carbohydrate) and glycogen into simpler sugars, such as maltose, which can then be further broken down into glucose
    Amylase
  • Cofactors - typically metal ions (e.g. iron (Fe))
    Coenzymes - organic molecules (e.g. vitamins)
  • a non-protein molecule that supports a biochemical reaction
    Cofactor
  • an enzyme that has lost its normal three-dimensional, or tertiary, structureand can no longer bind to its substrate
    Denatured enzyme
  • Cutaneous membrane(waterproof)

    skin
  • Mucous membrane(has cilia)

    lining passageways and chambers with mucus and keeps them moist
  • Sodium-Potassium Pump

    3Na and 2K (active transport) against the concentration gradient
  • Volatilization
    is the process of converting a liquid or solid chemical into a vapor or gaseous state
  • Denitrification
    is a microbial process that converts nitrogen from soil and aquatic systems into a gas that is released into the atmosphere
  • Leaching
    occurs as excess water removes water-soluble nutrients out of the soil, by runoff or drainage
