Anatomy Test Flashcards
Raw molecules in body to provide energy and cellular funtions (digestive)
carbs, lipids, protiens, nucelic acid
what are carbs
energy molecules with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
what is the energy of the body called
ATP
what are macromolecules
nutrients that must be consumed from food
what is a monosaccride
single sugar molecule
what is a polysaccride
many sugar molecule chains
what are lipids
stores most oils (fats, oils, waxes) and hydrophobic
what are protiens
amino acids bonded by peptide bonds
How many amino acids are in the body
20, 9 that the body cannot produce
What are nucleic acid
DNA and RNA, made of nucleotides
What is hydrolysis
when water breaks down macromolecules into smaller ones
What are enzymes
protiens that helps speed up reactions
Carbohydrates turn into
monosaccrides
lipids turn into
glycerol and fatty acids
protiens turn into
amino acids
nucleic acid turns into
nucleotides
What is a mineral
inorganic, enable chemical reactions, help with tissue growth and immunity
What is a vitamin
organic, enable chemical reactions to help with tissue growth and immunity
How much of our body is water
2/3
What do enzymes and hydrolysis do together
make sucrose to break down to glucose and fructose using sucrase
what is Intracellular disgestion
inside cell digestion (amoeba)
What is Extracellular digestion
outside cell digestion then absorbed into cell (fungi)
How does absorption work in the digestion
Nutrients are absorbed out of digestive tract, taken into blood then taken into cells, most important part of digestion
What are the three steps of digestion
Physical, Chemical, Absorbtion
