liver and/or skeletal cells

31
Q

what is the process of making glucose from proteins?

A

gluconeogenisis

32
Q

whats another word for lipids? where are lipids found?

A

fats; found in liver

33
Q

is LDL good or bad cholesterol? why is it good or bad?

A

bad; moves from liver to cells

34
Q

is HDL good or bad cholesterol? why is it good or bad

A

good; the process starts in cells and picks up left over LDL that could be clogging an artery

no

38
Q

what does RNA do?

A

makes protein, sends message to mRNA

39
Q

what does the mRNA do?

A

COPIES the DNA

40
Q

what does the mRNA attach to?

A

riibosomes

41
Q

what does tRNA do?

A

CONVERTS the copied code from mRNA

42
Q

what does the ribosome do after the tRNA converts the copied code from the mRNA?

A

the ribosome makes the protein

43
