Q

protein functions

A

they are a source of energy, they help build muscles and bone. they are important to make enzymes and hormones

25
Q

4 stages of protein

A

primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary

26
Q

primary stage

A

the order of amino acids in a chain

27
Q

secondary stage

A

a polypeptide chain of amino acids fold into two kinds of

28
Q

tertiary

A

Alpha helics and beta-pleated sheets are folded and held together by bonds

29
Q

tertiary

A

Alpha helics and beta-pleated sheets are folded and held together by bonds

30
Q

how does protein differ from carbohydrates and lipids

A

they take longer to break down

31
Q

cholesterol

A

a substance in your blood and liver. it helps make hormones

32
Q

what are the building blocks of protein

A

amino acids

33
Q

what are essential amino acids

A

essential amino acids are ones we cannot make and must get from food

34
Q

where does protein digestion take place

A

takes place in the small intestine

35
Q

what happens when a protein changes shape

A

it’s called protein denaturation

36
Q

the induced fit theory

A

the enzyme needs to change shape to bind the substrate

37
Q

lock and key model

A

the enzyme and substrate need to match

38
Q

functions that affect enzymes

A

things like temperature, substrate and pH

39
Q

explain the relationship between a substrate and a enzyme

A

the enzyme and substrate bind together in the active site, the enzyme holds the substrate so the reactions can occur

40
Q

when a bonds weaken what happens

A

the enzyme is now dentures and your body cannot use it

41
Q

how do enzymes affect activation energy

A

they increase the rate of reactions by lowering the activation energy

42
Q

what is a catalyst

A

a catalyst is a substance that speed up reactions

43
Q

how do enzymes work in our body

A

they are used over and over again to create large amounts of products

44
Q

organic

A

contains carbon and hydrogen, they have covalent bonds, tend to me large

45
Q

inorganic

A

doesn’t need hydrogen and carbon, usually small and ionic

46
Q

carbohydrates molecules

A

carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

47
Q

hexose

A

6 carbon like glucose

48
Q

pentose

A

5 carbon like ribose

49
Q

pentose

A

5 carbon like ribose

50
Q

isomers

A

some molecular formula, different structural formula

51
Q

carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur

53
Q

what are simple sugars?

A

carbohydrates that are made up of two or more molecules of glucose

54
Q

why is fiber important

A

it helps digestive functions, it also helps remove toxic substances

55
Q

what can happen if you eat too much saturated fats

A

It will raise your cholesterol and increase your risk of heart attack

56
Q

what are vitamins

A

they are a chemical substance that helps make your body use energy, build protein, make cells, and repair injuries
