Q

What is a catalyst? How does it work?

A
  • A chemical that can regulate a reaction by lowering the activation energy required to start it, or by providing an alternate pathway for the reaction.
  • A catalyst speeds up the rate of reaction but is not used up or changed during the reaction.

Q

What is an enzyme?

A

A catalyst in a living system (globular (3D) proteins) that helps cells perform reactions at body temperatures. Provides alternate pathways so reactions can be controlled.

The “lock/key” needs to be different for every substrate.

Q

How are enzymes named?

Q

What is a substrate?

A

The molecule that the enzyme works on.

  • Each substrate molecule combines with a specific enzyme, and the substrate is changed during the reaction, creating a new product.
  • Each enzyme has a specific shape and can only combine with its specific substrate
  • Part of the enzyme that binds to the substrate is called the ACTIVE SITE

Q

How do enzymes work?

A

They bring the probability of reactions occuring, by bringing substrate molecules together. They bind temporarily to the active site of the enzyme.

Q

What will happen if there is damage to an enzyme?

A

It will become denatured (temporary) or coagulated (permanent)—-the protein part.

This will make the enzyme impossible to work correctly, potentially stopping important metabolic reactions in the organism.

As temperature increrase, the rate of reaction increases.

However, there is a limit, as excess heat will denature or coagulate the proteins. For most enzymes, it’s around 37, the human body temperature.

Q

What are the steps to digestion?

A

Food goes down the mouth, into the esophagus, through the cardiac sphincter, into stomach, through the pyloric sphincter into the duodenum of the small intestine where stuff from the pancreas (pancreatic duct), liver, and gall bladder (common bile duct) also come. Through ileocal valve, then goes to large intestine, into the rectum, and out.

  • Lines of stomach to protect stomach walls from HCl and pepsin
  • Therefore, not really digestion at all either.
56

62
Q

What is emulsification?

A
  • Fats are insoluble and enter the small intestine as small drops
  • They act like detergents to disperse large fat molecules into fine suspensions

A

A gland that secretes pancreatic juice (chemicals) into the small intestine’s duodenum, via the pancreatic duct.

Chemical digestion

64

A

Tiny finger-like projections from the inside wall of the small intestine.

88
Q

What does the villi contain?

A

Exocrine glands that secret enzymes to finish digestion by converting maltose to glucose and polypeptides to amino acids. Thus, the villi absorbs glucose, amino acids, and vitamins.

89

94
Q

What does the liver do?

A

Makes bile and filters blood—regulating nutrients in the blood.

112
Q

What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Chrohn (Iletis Enteritis)?

A
  • Usually of the ileum of the small intestine
  • Inflammed tissue = intestine empty lots and lots of rectal bleeding
  • Painful, hard to diagnose
  • Autoimmune, no cure
  • Medications heals tissue/surgery
  • Affects entire thickness
113
Q

What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Colitis?

A
  • Inflammation/ulceration of colon
  • Restricted to innermost lining
  • Pain/Inflammed tissue = intestine empty lots and lots of rectal bleeding (similar to IBD, Chrohn)
  • Medications heals tissue

114
Q

What is anorexia nervosa?

A

In order to lose weight and be more attractive, depriving oneself of basic nutrients.
- Eating disorder, morbid of gaining weight
Leads to: starvation, less than 85% of normal body weigjt, a distorted self-image

Symtomps of starvation:
- low blood pressure
- irregular heartbeat
- constipation
- dry skin
- odd menstrual cyclle

End: digestive/organs shut down = death

115
Q

What are gallstones?

A

Q

What does nucleosidases do?

A

Converts nucleotides to nitrogen bases, sugars, and phosphates.

122
Q

How are substances transported to the blood?

A

Simple diffusion

123
Q

How are substances absorbed?

A

Active transport

124
Q

Define accessory organ.

A

An organ that helps with digestion but is not part of the digestive tract, where food passes through.

Ex: Liver, gall bladder, pancreas

125
Q

Define digestive tract.

A

The organs that food and liquids travel through when they are swallowed, digested, absorbed, and leave the body as feces. These organs include the mouth, pharynx (throat), esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.

126
Q

What is jaundice?

A

Yellowish cast to skin that indicates liver dysfunction.

127
Q

What is allosteric activity?

A

Change in an enzyme shape caused by the binding of a molecule.

May prevent or promote enzyme activity: allosteric inhibition and allosteric activation.

128
Q

What is negative feedback?

A

(Self-regulating, most of human systems)
Build up of metabolic products interferes with some step in the pathway that created it. If any step in the process fails, the whole process fails.

Example: a product inhibits one of the enzymes in the pathway, decreasing production
Example 2: buildup of metabolic products blocks the production of those very products.

129
Q

What is feedback inhibition?

A

Inhibition of an enzyme by the final product in the metabolic pathway.

The mechanism by which the reaction’s end product inhibits or controls the enzyme’s function that helped make it.

130
Q

How can lipids be digested?

A

If they are coated in a protein.

131
Q

Are proteins soluble?

A

They vary. So with carbs.

132
Q

What is a peptone?

A

Peptone is any water-soluble mixture of polypeptides and amino acids

133
Q

What is insulin and glucagon?

A

Hormones made by the pancreas, that are endocrine functions.

134
Q

What is the allorestic site?

A

Where the inhibitor acts on the enzyme, which changes the shape.

(In non-competitive inhibition, where it binds elsewhere other than the active site)
