Question | Answer |
---|---|
Metabolism | the series of chemical reactions necessary for the use of the raw material |
anabolism | reactions that build larger, more complex substances from simpler substances |
catabolism | reaction that break down larger, more complex substances into simpler substances |
carbohydrates | organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen |
disaccharides | double sugars |
sucrose, maltose, and lactose | disaccharides |
anaerobic catabolism | glucose is broken down under the absence of oxygen |
aerobic catabolism | glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen |
egg yolk, meats, dairy products and oils | lipids |
lipids most common in the body | triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids |
amino acid | building blocks of proteins |
essential amino acids | dietary intake of amino acids |
nonessential amino acids | amino acids that can be synthesized by the liver |
A nucleotide is composed of | sugar, a phosphate group, and a base |
adenine and thymine | base pair |
cytosine and guanine | base pair |
RNA bases | adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine |
transcription | code on DNA is copied by the nRNA |
translation | code of the mRNA is read by tRNA, which is attached to individual aminoa acids in the cytoplasm |
