Eran Levin Protein Flashcards
To which groups a amino acids can be splitted
Essential conditionally nonessential and nonessential
ketogenic and glucogenic
What are conditionally non-essential fatty acids
Fatty acids that are not essential but can become once during reproduction or disease
Does Insect store amino acids
Yes
How does proteins that are used as storage of proteins in invertebrates are called
Hexamerines
What energy source can the mosquito female use when it needs to go from the state of diapause to reproduction
Amino acids stored in Hexamerines
What are the two ketogenic amino acids which we can’t build sugar from
Lysine and leucine
How does marine vertebrates get out the nitrogen waste from the body
Secret ammonium from their gills
Is it hard to secrete nitrogen in the water
No
How does a mammals secrete ammonia
Urea
Is Urea considered toxic
Relatively nontoxic
In which form birds and reptiles secrete Nitrogen waste
Uric acid
What can uric acid cause when it accumulate
Gaut disease kidney stones And deformation of the joints
Which type of nutrition can cause that accumulation of uric acid
Nutrition from animal
To which product urine acid resembles
Purines
What characterizes pure carnivores
- does not sense sweet
- does not has amylase in their saliva
- less amylase secreted from pancreas
- dependent on theorine and arginine
- high liver methabolism
- High level of glucose production in the liver
Why cats shouldn’t eat dog food
Because it does not contain arginine
Which amino acid cat will be missing if it will eat dog food
Arginine
What does larva eats
Only protein
What does the wasp do to the bee
Kills it and gives the flesh to the larva
What does the Wasp do with the larva after it feeds it with The bee
Licks sugar that the larva secreats
Which amino acids are in the drop off the larvea
Proline and glycin
Where does the proline dehydrogenase is suspected to be in organisms that uses proline for producing energy
In the Mitochondria close to the transport chain of electrons
Through which enzyme Proline can benefit energy
Proline dehydrogenase
For which usage proline might be the most beneficial
When we want a big boost of energy
What purpose can glycine serve during an energy production from proline
Through reducing power it can become an antioxidant
What are the two function of butterflies
Produce Eggs and distributes Eggs
When nectar is full with amino acid it gives more
Fittnes
Which pathway does the rafrafim do deal with oxidative stress
Pentose phosphate pathway
Will bees will prefer nectar with more amino acids or glucose
Amino acids
Which amino acids are there in the nectar that protein is not built from
Beta alanine
GABA
hydroxyproline
How beta alanine is assumed to help with boost of power
Builds carnozine in the muscle It helps lactate to accumulate without lowering the pH and helps for high activity
Which function GABA accelerates in vertebrates and invertebrates
Function of the nervous system
How theorine influence caffeine
Diminish the caffeine feeling
