16
Q

endergonic reaction

A

requires energy that’s stored in bonds

17
Q

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

A

A-P1-P2-P3, goes thru exergonic reaction to create ADP

18
Q

Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)

A

A-P1-P2 + P3, goes thru endergonic reaction to create ATP

19
Q

Function of ATP

A

ATP is used to provide energy to parts of the cell as it breaks and reforms

20
Q

glucose

A

monosaccharide (single sugar) that provides direct immediate energy, carb

21
Q

lipids

A

necessary for cell membranes, secondary energy storage, insulation, shock absorption

22
Q

saturated fats

A

solid at room temp, bad

23
Q

unsaturated fats

A

liquid at room temp, good

24
Q

LDL cholesterol

A

solid like sat fats, bad

25
Q

HDL cholesterol

A

dietary fiber - helps clean out intestines and blood vessels, good

26
Q

trans fats

A

horrible for you, lab made, hard on liver

27
Q

proteins

A

needed to repair, replace, and rebuild the body, make enzymes, most common organic compound

28
Q

enzymes

A

“miracle proteins,” lock (cell part) & key (enzyme), help in 3 ways - catalysts, lower energy needed for reactions, can be used over and over
