Bio Flashcards
sucrose
glucose and fructose
lactose
galactose and glucose
maltose
glucose twice
when OH points down, its on
alpha sugar. points up Is beta
starch sugar
linear starch: amylose
branched: amylopectin 1.4 and 1.6
glycogen sugar
alpha bonded
- stored in liver and cells
cellulose
beta 1,4
- structure in plants
chitin
- fungi cell walls
beta but with nitrogen
- N- acetyl glucosamine
protein terminus
N C Carboxyl
cysteine
contains sulfur for disulphide bridges
proteome
its like a genome
cell can have many proteomes
protein structure shape
fibrous is usually structural
globular is enzymes
intermediate
protein denaturation
- high or low temp, pH changes, salt concentrations
specificity constant
higher means more substrate affinity. highly efficient
co factor
non protein molecule that helps enzymes
coenzyme
organic cofactor
holoenzyme
bound to cofactors
apoenzymes
enzymes that are not bound to their cofactors
prothetic groups
cofactors are tightly bonded to their enzymes
competitive inhibition
rate of enzyme action can be increased by adding more substrate
noncompetitive inhibition
rate of enzyme action can’t be increased by adding more substrate
Michaelis constant
50 percent max velocity
- large KM means many substrate is needed so enzyme fcn is LOW
lipids structure atoms
CHO
triglyceride
- glycerol 3 c
- three fatty acids
phospholipids
- have a glycerol backbone, one phosphate group and two fatty acids
cholesterol
4 rings
- used in steroid hormones
- also cell membranes
- starting material for vitamin D and bile acids
membrane fluidity
- temperature: when its high, membrane decreases fluidity by increasing unsaturated fatty acids
cholesterol
saturated vs unsaturated
low density lipoproteins
- low protein density and work to deliver cholesterol to periphery
- BAD
high density lipoproteins
- high protein density
and take cholesterol away from periphery - GOOD
waxes fat
- long chains with alcohol
carotenoids fat
plant pigments
have rings at each end
nucleic acid molecule structure
CHONP
nucleosides
contain a 5c sugar and nitrogenous base
nucleotides
5 c sugar and nitrogen and P
Purines
two ringed
phosphodiester bonds
- 5’ end is the phosphate, r’ end is the hydroxyl
- extended from 3’ end
AT bonds
2 h bonds
central dogma of genetics
DNA- RNA to proteins
integral proteins
entire bilyarer
- cell signalling or transport
peripheral proteins receptor
trigger secondary responses in the cell for signalling
peripheral proteins adhesion
- attaches cell to other things
- act as anchors for cytoskeleton
- internal filaments and tubules
peripheral proteins cellular recognition
- proteins which have carbohydrate chains (glycoproteins)
uni, symp, and antiporters
- single, double or opposite in facilitated transport
facilitated transport
integral proteins allow larger hydrophilic molecules to cross membrane
channel and carrier proteins
facilitated transport
- open tunnel or face one side and change to bring it to the other one
passive diffusion
type of facilitated that is done by channel proteins
active transport 2 types
primary uses atp
secondary uses free energy released when other molecules move across a gradient to pump the molecule
cytosis
active transport
- bulk and hydrophilic
receptor mediated endocytosis
requires binding of dissolved molecules to peripheral membrane receptor proteins
exocytosis
release stuff through vesicle secretion
cytoplasm
cytosol plus organelles
nucleus what occurs
- DNA - mRNA
nucleoplasm
cytoplasm of nuc
nuclear envelop
membrane of nucleus. has PERInuclear space between
