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 |
