21
Q

juxtacrine signaling

A

a chemical message between two cells

22
Q

autocrine signaling

A

a chemical message on the same cell, but message leaves the cell first

23
Q

paracrine signaling

A

message acts on nearby cells

24
Q

endocrine signaling

A

message released into blood stream, usually hormones

25
Q

hormesis definition

A

low dose of a potentially harmful stress resulting in beneficial adaptations

26
Q

which molecules help maintain cellular homeostasis

A

ATP, glucose, glycogen, oxygen, etc

27
Q

catabolic reaction

A

breaks apart molecules

28
Q

anabolic reaction

A

builds molecules

29
Q

why are mitochondria important

A

Make ATP! break down carbs and fatty acids, consume oxygen to generate atp

30
Q

2 types of chemical reactions

A

endergonic and exergonic

31
Q

endergonic reactions

A

require energy

32
Q

exergonic reactions

A

release energy

33
Q

oxidation reaction

A

loss of electrons and protons (hydrogen), gain oxygen

34
Q

reduction reaction

A

gain of electrons and protons (hydrogen), loss of oxygen

35
Q

reducing equivalents

A

NADH and FADH2, carry electrons that can be released for energy in the mitochondria

36
Q

enzymes function

A

speed up the rate of a reaction by decreasing amount of energy needed to start the reaction

37
Q

3 macronutrients used for fuel

A

carbs, fatty acids, proteins

38
Q

how is glucose stored

A

stored as glycogen in muscles and the liver
glycogen synthase turns glucose into glycogen

39
Q

glycogenolysis

A

process of breaking down glycogen into glucose

40
Q

fatty acids

A

primary form of fat used for fuel

41
Q

triglycerides

A

storage of fatty acids in muscle tissue and adipose tissue

42
Q

how does atp provide energy

A

energy is released when phosphate group is broken off, forming adp

43
Q

three bioenergetic pathways

A

phosphocreatine, glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation

44
Q

bioenergetic pathway

A

produces ATP

45
Q

fastest bioenergetic pathway

A

phosphocreatine

46
Q

slowest bioenergetic pathway

A

oxidative phosphorylation

47
Q

which bioenergetic pathway produces lactate

A

anaerobic glycolysis

48
Q

what does the body do with lactate produced by anaerobic glycolysis

A

goes into the bloodstream, then the liver, liver converts it back to glucose

49
Q

where do oxidative phosphorylation and beta oxidation occur

A

mitochondria

50
Q

is oxidative phosphorylation driven by supply or demand

A

demand

51
Q

oxidative phosphorylation

A

consumption of oxygen to produce ATP

52
Q

Beta oxidation

A

break down fats for energy
