Lecture 3 Flashcards
Negative feedback loops
Restores to normal conditions
Positive feedback loops
Exaggerates change
Three things homeostasis needs
- Sensor 2. Central Center 3. Effector
Carbohydrates
Preferred energy source for most cells. Monosaccharides are the building blocks.
Building Sugars
Dehydration systhesis
Breaking Down Sugars
Hydrolysis
Many monosarccharides
Polysarccharides
Lipids purpose
Energy storage, membrane structure, chemical messengers.
Examples of Lipids
Fats, oils, waxes, steroids, phospholipids
Saturated fats
No double bonds, solid at room temp
Unsaturated fats
Double bonds, liquid at room temp
Lipids energy storage
Fatty acids (saturated and unsaturated)
Glycerol
How fatty acids group together
Lipid chemical messengers
Eicosanoids (injury/disease) & Steroids (cell growth and division, reproduction, digestion of fats)
Lipid membrane structure
Cholesterol, phospholipids, glycolipids
