Carbohydrate Metabolism
Carbohydrates are broken down into monosaccharides: glucose (about 80%), fructose and galactose. Glucoses turned into ATP
Anaerobic
doesn’t need oxygen
Aerobic
needs oxygen
Oxidative phosphorylation
gets us lots of ATP (phosphoralation is adding a phosphate to a molecure. Oxidative is stripping electrons off other compounds then passing electrons down the electron transport chain allows us to build ATP from ADP)
Endergonic.
Triglycerides (neutral fats)
composed of glycerol and 3 fatty acid chains. important for storage of energy, insulation, and shock absorption
Steroids
consist of 4 interlocking carbon rings with various side groups.. includes cholesterol and steroid hormones.
Structural (fibrous) proteins
Stable and insoluble in water. Provide mechanical support and give strength.
Functional (globular) protiens
Less stable, H-bonds break easily.Are water soluble. help chemical reactions go forth
Cells
are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms.
Integral (transmembrane) proteins
extend through the phospholipid bilayer.
Peripheral membrane proteins
are associated loosely with only one side of the membrane
Simple Diffusion
nonpolar and lipid soluble substances diffuse directly through the lipid bilayer.
facilitated diffusion
polar & charged molecules require transmembrane proteins as carriers, or use ion channels to move through the lipid bilayer.
Carrier-mediated facilitated diffusion
gluc binds to protein, the protein changes shape and releases on the other side
Channel-mediated facilitated diffusion
K+ ion can’t get through so it passes through the channel protein, some have a gate, some are constantly open with no gate
primary active transport
energy from ATP hydrolysis changes the shape of a transporter protein and it “pumps” a substance across the membrane.
secondary active transport
coupled transport of 2 molecules using energy supplied by an ion gradient, maintained by a primary active transport pump.
cristae
mito Has an outer membrane and an inner folded membrane
Nucleoili
produce ribosomes. Nucleolus (singular); nucleoli (plural).
