week 1-cellular metabolism Flashcards
main inorganic
generally do not contain carbon
carbon dioxide
water
salts
main organic
always contain carbon
sugar
fats
proteins
intracellular fluid
found inside of cells(2/3)
extracellular fluid
found outside of cells (1/3)
Plamsa
interstitial fluid
Electrolyte examples
sodium
potassium
calcium
chloride
phosphate
magnesium
Electrolyte +examples
-controls fluid balance of the body
-important in muscle contraction
-nerve impulses
-energy generation
-every major biochemical reaction
buffers
resist changes in ph
bring solution back to neutral(7.35-7.45)
Ph+ significance in body
-measurement of molarity of H in body
-a change in 1 ph means it is 10x as acidic
high ph-low hydrogen
low ph-high hydrogen
Function of carbohydrates
sugars are quickly broken down to generate energy(ATP)
Functions of lipids
used as secondary source for atp
form cholesterol
insulates organs
Function of ATP
bodies most important energy-transfer molecule
How is energy stored in ATP molecule
holds energy in covalent bonds-phosphate bonds
How is ATP gereneted
when glucose(large molecule) breakdown
,
the electrons that are given off help bind ADP to P,
making ATP
What processes produces new cells in body
mitosis-2 daughter, 46 chromosomes
meiosis- sex cells, 23 chromosomes(sperm, oocytes)
What calls cannot be replaced in body
nuerons
cardiac muscle
skeletal muscle
What is function of cell membrane
regulation of exchange between external environment
allows things into and out of cells
What types of proteins help with cell membrane function
phospholipid bilayer
glycocalyx
integral/membrane proteins
Metabolism
All the cellular reactions of the body at a given time
Catabolism
large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules
electrons given off help to form ATP
Anabolism
builds substances for growth and repair
small molecules make a larger molecule
requires ATP
