Lecture Quiz 1 Flashcards
How does the transverse plane divide the body?
Into upper and lower portions
3+ monosaccharides linked together via dehydration synthesis
Polysaccharides
Atomic Mass
Added number of protons and neutrons
Cranial
Towards the head
Highly-branched glucose found in liver, muscle cells, brain, and vagina
Glycogen
Umbilical is another name for…?
The navel or belly button
Glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose and deoxyribose are all what?
Monosaccharides
Protein
Several linked polypeptides
pH
Measure of ability and willingness of compound to relase or donate H+
How are fatty acids primarily stored?
In triglycerides
Phospholipids
Triglyceride but with phosphate instead of fatty acid
Name 3 polysaccharides
- Glycogen
- Starch
- Cellulose
Upper arm
Brachium
Acid
Donate H+
How does the sagittal plane divide the body?
Into left and right halves
Builds on itself, creating increasingly intense reaction
Positive Feedback Loop
Simple sugars are also called what?
Monosaccharides
Lateral
Toward side
Where does glycolysis happen?
Cytoplasm/ intracellular fluid
Prostaglandins and leukotrienes
Regulate inflammation
E1 and E3 reduce it, E2 creates it
Hydrogen Bond
Weak and temporary bond that allows molecules to be flexible (ex. water)
Lumbar
Lower back
What do atoms love most?
To have their outer shell filled
Organization Levels
- atom
- molecule
- macromolecule
- organelle
- cell
- tissue
- organ
- organ system
- organism
Ionic bonds
When atoms join by giving and taking electrons
(ex. NaCl)
Atomic Number
Number of protons in the atom (ex. Carbon is 6)
List the 6 functions of proteins
- energy
- structure
- catalyst of reaction
- communication
- membrane transport
- cell recognition
The axilla is another name for…?
The armpit
Components of sucrose
glucose and fructose
Sacral
Midline region at the top of the buttocks, below lumbar
Electron shells
- 2
- 8
Enzyme definition
proteins that are the catalyst of reactions
(Name ends in -ase)
Polypeptide
4+ AA
Proximal
Closer to central point of reference/attachment
Chest, heart, lungs, and thymus gland are found in this region
Thorax
Which enzyme breaks down starch?
Amylase
pH scale generalized
- 0 is acidic
- 7 is neutral
- 14 is basic
What are the primary planes of the body?
Sagittal, Coronal/frontal, Transverse
Two examples of positive feedback loop
Oxytocin/labor contraction loop;
Blood clotting
Feedback in which changes in the body are countered by reactions to stop the change
Negative feedback loop
Covalent Bonds
sharing electrons between several atoms; primarily in carbon-based compounds
Enzymes go ______ in heat
Faster
(they denature if heated too much, ex. eggs)
3 forms of RNA
- mRNA - messenger, describes AA to make
- tRNA - transfer, place AA
- rRNA - ribosomal, creates structure of ribosomes
Building block of protein
Amino Acid
This is below the diaphragm and contains digestive organs
Abdomen
Which body region contains the head and brain?
Cranial region
The midline of the body is known as the…?
Axial region
Diglyceride + hydrolysis =
1 free fatty acid + monoglyceride
Gluconeogenesis
Reverse glycolysis - starts with pyruvic acid and produces glucose
What are the two main divisions of body regions?
Axial (midline of body) and Appendicular (arms and legs)
Forearm
Antebrachium
What is the primary energy currency of the body?
ATP
Posterior
Toward back
What is an EFA?
An essential fatty acid, not manufactured by the body, mostly anti-inflammatory, ex. omega-3 and 6
Steroids
Lipid in 4 rings, cholesterol makes all of them
Tripeptide
3 AA in a strand
