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
HDL cholesterol
dietary fiber - helps clean out intestines and blood vessels, good
26
trans fats
horrible for you, lab made, hard on liver
27
proteins
needed to repair, replace, and rebuild the body, make enzymes, most common organic compound
28
enzymes
"miracle proteins," lock (cell part) & key (enzyme), help in 3 ways - catalysts, lower energy needed for reactions, can be used over and over
