Exam 1 Flashcards
Name two ways to make ATP
Oxidative Phosphorylation and Substrate Level Phosphorylation
Prokaryotic
Cells with an undefined nucleus
Eukaryotic
Larger, structurally more complex cells with a defined nucleus. Found in Humans and Animals.
Plasma Membrane
Cells are surrounded by a phospholipid bi-layer that contains embedded macro nutrients. Membrane proteins act as receptors sensitive to external stimuli and channels that regulate the movement of substances into and out of the cell.
Mitochondrion
Organelles that produce a majority of the body’s ATP through Oxidative Phosphorylation. Site of major oxygen use in the cell (including the TCA cycle).
Apoptosis
Programmed Cell Death
Cytosol
Substrate Level Phosphorylation
Golgi Apparatus
A series of membrane sacks that process and package proteins after they leave the rough ER. Final site for protein modifications, carbs are attached to move across plasma membrane.
Lysosome
Contains digestive enzymes that break up proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Also remove and recycle waste products
Smooth ER
Regions of the ER involved in lipid synthesis. Smooth ER do not have ribosomes and are not involved in protein synthesis. Contains enzymes that are important for detoxification and metabolism of many drugs.
Rough ER
Series of membrane sacks that contain ribosomes that build and process proteins. Primary site for protein synthesis
Taurochenodeoxycholic acid
a bile acidformed in the liver by conjugation of chenodeoxycholate with taurine, usually as the sodium salt. It acts as detergent to solubilise fats in the small intestine and is itself absorbed
Sucrase
Released from the enterocyte to hydrolyze sucrose
Substrate
Hydrolyzed by an enzyme
Small Intestine
is the major site of enzymatic digestion and nutrient absorption
Non-Equilibrium
(Delta)G = (Delta)Go’ + 2.3RTlog[P]/[R] (K= C + 273.16)
Standard Conditions
(Delta)G = (Delta)Go’
Products and Reactants = 1
Equilibrium
(Delta) G = 0
(Delta)Go’ = -2.3RTlog Keq
Standard Reduction Potential
(Delta)Go' = -nF(Delta)Eo' n = #of e- transferred F = 23062 cal V^-1 mol^-1 (Delta)Eo' = Difference between standard reduction potential of donor and acceptor (Eo acceptor - Eo donor)
Name a compound that is involved in the electron transport part of oxidative phosphorylation.
NADH, FADH
Name a compound that is phosphorylated during oxidative phosphorylation.
NAD+, FAD+
Nutritional Genomics
Interactions among genes and environmental factors (bioactive components of food)
Nutrigenetics
How genes affect digestion of food
Nutrigenomics
How bioactive components in food affect gene expression
Types of Enzymes
Oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, ligases
3 Amphoteric Structures
phospholipids, cholesterol, phosphoglycerides
Mitochondrion Pathways
Krebs / TCA cycle, pyruvate -/+ CO2, B Oxidation, part of Urea Cycle
Cytoskeleton
Microtubules and fillaments that provide support and control movement of cell organelles. Also brings enzymes and substrates in place for metabolic activities.
Cytoplasmic Matrix Pathways
Glycolysis, Glycogenesis, Glycogenolysis, Hexose Monophosphate Shunt, Fatty Acid Synthesis.
Membrane Transport
Uniport (one through), Symport (two through ex: glucose + Na), Antiport (one in each direction)
Nucleus
Envelope attaches to ER and Golgi Apparatus. Transcription happens in nucleus and translation happens in nucleolus
