Biochemistry

Lesson 1

Biology the study of life
Chemistry the study of different chemicals or elements compound
Biochemistry Study of the structure, composition, and chemical reactions of substances in living systems
Biochemistry a field of science that deals with the study of chemical processes in plants and animals
Carbohydrates is classified into four, namely as: Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides, Derived carbohydrates
Lipids are known as the fatty acids and are classified into two: − Saturated fatty acids − Unsaturated fatty acids
Proteins it is the different amino acids
Enzymes play an important role in metabolism, in breaking down foods into complex to a simpler one
Cells are also considered as the smallest unit of life and the building blocks of life
Prokaryotes Unicellular organisms like bacteria
Escherichia coli bacteria found in contaminated water, foods, raw milk, and so on
Staphylococcus aureus spread by touching infected blood or body fluids, most often by contaminated hands
FLAGELLA The Pili, which is a protein, attached to the cell surface
CELL ENVELOPE Consisting of a capsule, a cell wall, and a plasma membrane
CYTOPLASMIC REGION Contains cell genome (DNA) and ribosome
Eukaryotes It contains membrane-bound compartments in which specific metabolic activities takes place
nucleus covered with the nuclear membrane
Cytoplasm the large fluid field space and where organelles of cells reside
Cell membrane (the transparent or protective layer of the egg)
cytoplasm (white part of the egg)
Nucleus (yellow part of the egg)
PLASMA MEMBRANE OR CELL MEMBRANE It is thick in size since it is made mostly from a double layer of proteins and lipids, or fat-like molecules
CYTOSKELETON The structure that will maintain the shapes of the cell and will anchor organelle in place
robert brown who is the first identified the nucleus
We have 23 pairs of chromosomes, a total of 46 chromosomes
Chromatin It consists of a DNA bound protein
Chromosomes These are formed when a cell divides chromatin condenses
Nucleolus The nucleus also contains a darkened area, called nucleolus which is responsible for the manufacture of the RNA found in ribosomes
Ribosome Is a large complex composed of many molecules, including RNAs and proteins, and is responsible for processing the genetic instruction
Organelles It is found only in eukaryotes and are always surrounded by a protective membrane
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM It is the organelle in which component of the cell membrane are assembled and some proteins are modified
GOLGI APPARATUS OR GOLGI COMPLEX It was named after Camillo Golgi
Camillo Golgi GOLGI APPARATUS OR GOLGI COMPLEX named after?
Mitochondria It plays a critical role in generating energy in the eukaryotic cell; thus, these are called the “power houses” of the cell
Outer membrane Surrounds the whole organelle
Inner Membrane Thrown into folds or shelves that project inward
Chloroplast It converts light energy from the sun into ATP through a process called photosynthesis
PEROXISOMES It concentrates metabolic enzymes, especially those enzymes that accomplish oxidative metabolism
Vacoules It transports material to and from the cell surface in amide isolated from the rest of the cell interior
Proteasomes These are organelles devoted to dismantling of degraded or misfolded proteins
Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells
meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells
SIMPLE DIFFUSION The movement of molecules from the area of greater concentration to the area of lesser concentration
FACILITATED DIFFUSION It is the movement of substances and also requires carrier molecule
Carrier molecule A membrane bound protein that binds to one or a few specific molecules and assists in their movement across
OSMOSIS The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to the region of lower concentration
ISOTONIC SOLUTION Equal concentration of water on both sides of the membrane
HYPERTONIC SOLUTION Lesser water and greater solute concentration outside the cell than inside
HYPOTONIC SOLUTION Greater water and lesser solute concentration outside the cell than inside
Filtration It is the pushing of substances through a barrier in the body
Active Transport It requires membrane proteins that are both enzymes and carriers
ENDOCYTOSIS it needs ATP
PHAGOCYTOSIS It came from the Greek word phagein
phagein it mean to eat
PINOCYTOSIS It came from the Greek word pinein (liquid)
Exocytosis A cell discharges material by packaging it in a vesicle and moving the vesicle to the cell surface during this process
