Quiz 1 Flashcards
Prokaryotic
Smaller and less complex cells with an undefined Nucleus
Eukaryotic
Larger, structurally more complex cells with a defined nucleus. Found in Humans and Animals.
Plasma Membrane
Sheet like membrane composed of phospholipids and proteins held together non-covalently.
Phospholipids form a bilayer due to phobic tail and phillic head.
Most of the body’s ATP is produced via…
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Substrate Level phosphorylation happens…
in the cytosol
Golgi Apparatus
A series of membrane sacks that process and package proteins after they leave the rough ER. Final site for protein modifications, carbs are attached to move across plasma membrane.
Lysosome
Contains digestive enzymes that break up proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Also remove and recycle waste products
Smooth ER
Regions of the ER involved in lipid synthesis. Smooth ER do not have ribosomes and are not involved in protein synthesis. Contains enzymes that are important for detoxification and metabolism of many drugs.
Rough ER
Series of membrane sacks that contain ribosomes that build and process proteins. Primary site for protein synthesis
Taurochenodeoxycholic acid
a bile acidformed in the liver by conjugation of chenodeoxycholate with taurine, usually as the sodium salt. It acts as detergent to solubilise fats in the small intestine and is itself absorbed
Sucrase purpose
Released from the enterocyte to hydrolyze sucrose
Substrate
Hydrolyzed by an enzyme
Small Intestine
is the major site of enzymatic digestion and nutrient absorption
Standard Conditions
(Delta)G = (Delta)Go’(Products and Reactants = 1)
Equilibrium
(Delta) G = 0(Delta)Go’ = -2.3RTlog Keq
Name a compound that is involved in the electron transport part of oxidative phosphorylation.
NADH, FADH
Name a compound that is phosphorylated during oxidative phosphorylation.
NAD+, FAD+
Nutrigenetics
How genes affect digestion of food
Nutrigenomics
How bioactive components in food affect gene expression
Types of Enzymes
Oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, ligases
3 Amphoteric Structures
phospholipids, cholesterol, phosphoglycerides
Mitochondrion Pathways
Krebs / TCA cycle, pyruvate -/+ CO2, B Oxidation, part of Urea Cycle
Cytoskeleton
Microtubules and fillaments that provide support and control movement of cell organelles. Also brings enzymes and substrates in place for metabolic activities.
Cytoplasmic Matrix Pathways
Glycolysis, Glycogenesis, Glycogenolysis, Hexose Monophosphate Shunt, Fatty Acid Synthesis.
Nucleus
Envelope attaches to ER and Golgi Apparatus. Transcription happens in nucleus and translation happens in cytoplasm
Protein movement
ER > Cis Golgi > Medial Golgi > Trans Golgi> plasma membrane
Aquaporins
Proteins that form pores that allow water to cross plasma membrane
Taking too much aspirin
Soaks into mitochondria and binds a protein. It drags the protein through the e- transport chain and damages the gradient.
