Cell Bio Carbs Flashcards
homeostasis
the tendency of a physiological system to maintain internal stability
components of biological membranes
lipids (phospholipids, glycolipids) proteins (integral, peripheral) carbs water divalent cations cholesterin (not in most prokaryotes)
Cellular compartmentalization
functional separation within the cell
helps cell run efficiently
types of membranes in an eukaryote
plasma membrane nuclear membrane (inner & outer) ER & golgi apparatus membrane mitochondrial membrane (inner and outer) Peroxisomes & lysosomes
Function of nuclear membrane
genetic info
transcription
nuclear receptors
function of ER membrane
synthesis of proteins & lipids
Ca++ storage
post-translational modifications
function of golgi apparatus membrane
protein processing post-translational modifications polysaccharide synthesis phosphorylation packaging of proteins for transport
function of mitochondria membrane
oxidation of carbs and lipids
function of lysosome membrane
digestion of macromolecules
function of perososome membrane
oxidation of organic molecules, catalase
What are the three main metabolism pathways?
Glycolysis, TCA, ETC
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
Outputs of Glycolysis
2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, 2 NADH
What are the main functions of Carbs
Energy source
storage form of energy (glycogen)
cell membrane component of communication (glycocalyx)
structural component (cell wall of bacteria)
3C carb
trioses ex. glyceraldehyde
