proteins-Final Flashcards
HAs no storage in the body but are necessary nutrients present in every cell
Amino Acids
catabolism
degradation, breakdown, deamination
anabolism
synthesis, transamination
what two proteins are needed for protein synthesis
nucleotides= DNA and RNA
transcription
synthesis RNA from DNA template
Translation
synthesis protein from a RNA template
sugar of DNA
deoxyribose
sugar of RNA
ribose
protein synthesis order
DNA-> Transcription-> translation
-> Protein
mediates effects of GH produced in liver
IGF-1 (somatomedin C)
Growth hormone effects
cartilage and bone, muscle cells, ribosome function, fat metabolism
growth hormone abnormalities
dwarfism, gigantism, acromegaly
dwarfism is caused by
decreased GH secretion at childhood
gigantism is caused by
increased Gh secretion during childhood= increase IGF-1
acromegaly caused by
increased Gh secretion as adult and the Gh triggers IGF-1
fumarate is a by-product of urea cycle, where is it then used for
Krebs cycle
terrestrial vertebrates excess ammonium excretion is
urea
birds and terrestrial reptiles excess ammonium excretion is
uric acid
aquatic animals excess ammonium excretion is
NH4- fish tank cycle
anorexia, edema, reduced growth and production, kwashiorkor is due to
inadequate protein
eye cataracts, fatty liver, abnormal feathers are due to
amino acid deficiencies
Tryptophan- eye
threonine/methionine-fatty
lysin-feathers
