Final Flashcards
Respiration
Process of breathing, cells in body carry out cellular respiration, needs o2 produces co2 as waste, trachea- bronchioles- bronchi- alveoli- lungs
Metabolism
Substances broken down to yield energy by a physical or chemical process, other substances needed for life can be synthesized ( breaking down and building)
Catabolism and anabolism
(Metabolism)
Catabolism is breakdown of complex molecules like fats proteins and starches into simpler ones( destructive, breaking down) energy produced as ATP
Anabolism is simple to complex molecules ( constructive, building)
Dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis
Removal of water molecule bonds 2 chemical elements/ compounds together ( makes)
Breaking down with water, water is added to reaction (breaks down)
Hydrogenation
Heating liquid vegetable oils in presence of hydrogen ex) margarine
Cholesterol
( HDL, LDL)
Steroids made up of lipids wrapped inside a protein, transport lipids to cells, nerve function
HDL- carries away excess cholesterol from blood to liver to eliminate (good)
LDL- builds up in bloodstream/arteries causes blood clots, strokes, heart attack
Nutrient
(Macro, micro)
Nourishment for growth/metabolism, build/repair tissue,regulate body functions, used for energy
Macronutrient- large quantities, provide bulk energy for metabolic function ex) protein, carbs, fats, water
Micronutrient- small quantities, cofactors for metabolic function ex) vitamins and minerals
Benedict’s test
Benedict Regan added heated in warm water positive = orange red colour presense of a reducing sugar
Iodine test
Presence of a starch positive= blue and purple negative= brown yellow
Sudan IV test
Presence of lipids positive = red and brown
Biuret test
Presence of lipids two peptide bonds in a molecule positive= purple
Positive control
Shows expected result or presence of what your testing for
Negative control
Absense of what your looking for don’t expect a change in the experiment
Carbohydrates
Most important source of energy glucose delivered to blood- ATP- energy ex) sugars cellulose starches glycogen gums
Monosaccharide
Single sugar one ring ex) ribose galactose glucose fructose
Disaccharide
Double sugar two rings bonded by dehydration synthesis ex) sucrose
Polysaccharide
Many sugars 3+ rings usually over 10 in chains dehydration synthesis ex) starches
Starch
Packed together chain of glucose molecules
Glycogen
Animal starch energy storage in animals branches out
Lipid
Carbon hydrogen oxygen molecules non-polar hydrophobic stores energy dehydration synthesis
Carbonyl head/group hydrocarbon tail
Fatty acids
Straight chains carboxyl group at end (COOH- polar, hydrophobic) hydrocarbon end/tail ( non-polar, hydrophobic)
Saturated and unsaturated fats
No double bond increase HDL increase LDL, straight
Double bond not as much hydrogen increase HDL decrease LDL, bend
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats
One double bond
Multiple double bonds
Trans fat
Raise LDL lower HDL hydrogenation, bend then straighten
Triglycerides
Glycerol and 3 fatty acid chains dehydration synthesis
Hormone
Chemicals made by body cells 4 rings little tail sometimes ex) estrogen testosterone
Cholesterol
4 rings long chains usually of CH
Steroids
Chemical messengers perform bodily functions 4 rings ex) hormones cholesterol
Enzyme
(Induced fit, lock and key)
Initiate cellular chemical reactions speed up metabolism build and break substances
Enzyme shape changes in response to substrate binding
Shape of enzyme binding site complementary to shape of molecule bonded to
Ketogenic diet
High fat adequate protein low carbs treats epilepsy in children
Malnutrition
Deprived minerals, vitamins, nutrition that maintain healthy tissue and organ function
Fasting
Stop eating or drinking for a certain time health religious or ethical reasons
