A&P Flashcards
Describe parts of the atom
proton, neutron, electron
part of the atom key to chemical bonding
electron
describe the ionic bond
giving & taking of e-
describe covalent bond
sharing of a pair of e-
describe H-bond
bond of attraction btwn polar molecules
what is pH scale
0-14
what is an acid solution
pH less than 7
what is an alkaline solution
pH greater than 7
normal pH in human body
7.4
4 groups of biochemical compounds
carbs, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids
4 major organic compound groups
carbs, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids
function of carbs
energy- store & source
name 3 different monosaccharides
make fucking guys good
fructose, galactose, glucose
3 different disaccharides
do my legs sag
maltose, lactose, sucrose
3 different polysaccharides
please stop giving come
starch, glycogen, cellulose,
function of lipids
store energy, make membranes
function of proteins
fights disease, makes up bones, digest food
why is protein structure so important to function
shape of protein tells what it does-conformation
part of every protein
amino acids
2 types of information molecules
DNA & RNA
units of nucleic acids
nucleotides
letters of 4 different nucleotides that make up DNA
ACTG
importance of nucleotides in ATP
energy currency
compare polar and nonpolar molecules
polar=have charges
nonpolar=no charge
what is cell nucleus
control center
what is chromatin
genetic material
function of nucleolus
makes ribosomes
what is made when a gene is expressed
protein
where do ribosomes form and what is important about their function
found in nucleolus and are site of protein synthesis
tube like structures found in the cytoplasm
ER
what forms in the tubes if they are rough
protein
what forms in smooth ER
lipids
vesicles pinch off ER and end up at what organelle
Golgi
compare secretory vesicles
form at the Golgi
describe cell membrane and structure
a phospholipid bilayer and embedded proteins
describe 3 major functions of the cell membrane proteins
transporter, receptor, marker
process of material moving across membrane from high to low concentration
diffusion
when cell moves material from low>high concentration
active transport
compare facilitated and simple diffusion
facilitated uses proteins, simple does not
example of active transport
proton pump
function of mitochondria
makes ATP
cell uses what as source of energy during anabolism or to actively transport molecules
metabolism- ATP
describe 3 types of fibers that make up cytoskeleton
tubulin, actin, myosin
what happens to a cell that is in a hypotonic solution
cell swells
what happens to a cell in hypertonic solution
shrinks
parts of the cell cycle
interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis,
parts of cell cycle referred to as interphase
g1, s, g2
what happens in the synthesis phase of interphase
DNA replication
what is purpose of mitosis in cell division
copy nucleus
phases of mitosis in order
please make a testicle
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
how do the daughter cells compare to the original
clones
what is g0 phase
no cell cycle
how many chromosomes end up in the 2 daughter cells
46
chemical that begins cell respiration and
glucose
chemical equation that summarizes cell respiration
C6H12O6+6O2 > 6Co2+6H2O
chemical formula for glucose
C6H12O6
why do cells need cellular respiration
ATP
life functions that require ATP
movement
how much ATP needed to begin oxidation of glucose
2 ATP
glycolysis rxn happen in what part of cell
cytoplasm
material at the end of glycolysis
pyruvate
what happens to pyruvate if no oxygen is present
reduction
what happens to pyruvate if oxygen is present
oxidation
what organelle uses oxygen
mitochondria
what is ETC
flow of e- through a membrane
function of ETC
to pump protons into space
where does ETC happen in mitochondria
inner membrane
2 energy carriers that provide e- for ETC
NAD & FAD
where does energy come from that is carried by the high energy carrier molecules
food
what is chemiosmosis
diffusion of protons
what is made from first oxidation of pyruvate
acetyl-COA
how does oxidation of pyruvate relate to recycling of citric acid
it runs the cycle
oxidation of citric acid results in what products
ATP, NADH, FADH
