ch2 2.0 Flashcards
large molecules composed of basic units called amino acids that contains H, C, O,&N
proteins
positive- negative attractions between different atoms in the long amino acid strands cause it to coil itself to form its highly complex shape
peptide bonds
contains estrogen, testosterone, and cortisone
steroid hormones
steroid structure made up of multiple rings and symbolizes phospholipids tails in cell membranes is also converted into steroid hormones
cholesterol
high density (more protein ) that travels in the blood
high- density lipoprotein
contains fewer proteins than lipids ( more lipids)
low- density lipoprotein
why is cholesterol in low density lipoprotein is considered “bad”?
high blod levels of LDL associated with atherosclerosis
life threatening blockage of arteries
atherosclerosis
why is high- density lipo. is coonsidered good?
carries good cholestrol away from cells and towards the liver for elimination from the body
science that deals with the composition of and the properties of matter
chemistry
protein structure is a sequence of amino acids in a chain
primary
protein structure is formed by folding and twisting of amino acid chain
secondary
formed when the twists and folds of the secondary structure fold again to form a larger 3-dimensional structure
tertiary
protein structure is a protein consisting of more than one folded amino acid chain
quaternary
types of lipids
triglyceride
phospholipids
cholesterol
