show any biological molecule that has low solubility in water and high solubility in nonpolar organic solvents; hydrophobic  
🗑
what are the six groups of lipids?   show
🗑
show building blocks of most complex lipids; long chains of carbons with carboxylic acid at one end  
🗑
show aka triglycerides (fats and oils) constructed from three C glycerol with having a carbon chain; STORE ENERGY AND PROVIDE THERMAL INSULATION AND PADDING  
🗑
show built from glycerol backbone but a SERVE AS STRUCTURAL COMPONENT OF MEMBRANES; polar phosphate replaces one of the fatty acids to create an amphipathic molecule  
🗑

🗑
show SERVE AS LOCAL HORMONES; include prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes  
🗑
proteins   show
🗑
show humans have 10 - meaning humans cannot manufacture these 10 and must be ingested  
🗑
show glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, methionine, proline  
🗑
polar R groups   show
🗑
acidic R groups   show
🗑
show lysine, arginine, histidine  
🗑
primary structure   show
🗑
show contribute to conformation of protein  
🗑
alpha helix   show
🗑
show connecting segments of two strands of sheet can lie parallel or anti-parallel which are reinforced by hydrogen bonds between carbonyl oxygen and hydrogen on amino group  
🗑
tertiary structure   show
🗑
quaternary structure   show
🗑
show function as enzymes, hormones, membrane pumps and channels, membrane receptors, intercellular and intracellular transport and storage, osmotic regulators, immune response - antibodies  
🗑
show made of long polymers which maintain and add strength to cellular and matrix structure (collagen, microtubules)  
🗑
show proteins w/ carb groups attached  
🗑
cytochromes   show
🗑
carbohydrates   show
🗑
show 6 carbon carb, most commonly occurring, accounts for 80% of carbs absorbed by humans, exists in aqueous sol'n favoring ring form  
🗑
alpha-glucose   show
🗑
show OH group and CH3OH group are on the same side  
🗑
show alpha linked polymerized glucose found in all animal cells as a way to store glucose  
🗑
show another alpha linked glucose, comes in two forms amylose and amylopectin  
🗑
cellulose   show
🗑
nucleotide   show
🗑
show adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil  
🗑
show joins the nucelotides by creating bond between phosphate group of one nucleotide and the 3rd carbon of the pentose of the other nucelotide  
🗑
show two  
🗑
show three  
🗑
show adenosine triphosphate, nucleotide that acts as source of readily available engery for the cell  
🗑
show cyclic AMP, important component of second messenger systems  
🗑
show NADH and FADH2  
🗑
minerals   show
🗑
show globular protein, function as catalyst to lower energy of activation for bio rxn and increasing rate of rxn; exhibit saturation kinetics  
🗑
show active site of the enzyme has a specific shape like a lock that only fits a specific substrate (the key)  
🗑
show the shape of both the enzyme and substrate are altered upon binding which increases specificity and helps rxn to proceed; in cases with multiple substrates, the enzyme can orient substrates relative to each other to create optimal conditions for the rxn  
🗑
saturation kinetics   show
🗑
factors affecting enzyme rxns   show
🗑
cofactor   show
🗑
coenzyme   show
🗑
cosubstrate   show
🗑
show remain covalently bound to enzyme through reaction; eg: heme  
🗑
temperature and enzymatic rxns   show
🗑
show optimal pH depends on enzyme  
🗑
types of enzyme inhibition   show
🗑
show agent that binds covalently to enzymes to disrupt their function; tend to be highly toxic  
🗑
competitive inhibitor   show
🗑
noncompetitive inhibitor   show
🗑
show Michealis constant, substrate conc at which the rxn rate is equal to 1/2 the Vmax, good indicator of enzyme's affinity to substrate  
🗑
show proteolytic cleavage, reversible covalent modification, control proteins, allosteric interactions  
🗑
show enzymes become irreversibly active when after specific peptide bonds cleaved on its zymogen/proenzyme  
🗑
reversible covalent modification   show
🗑
control proteins   show
🗑
show molecules that regulate enzyme activation/inhibition by causing conformational change (eg feedback inhibition); not necessarily noncompetitive inhibitors; exhibit atypical kinetics  
🗑
negative feedback   show
🗑
positive feedback   show
🗑
show after the first substrate changes the shape of the enzyme, the other substrates bind more easily (like oxygen on hemoglobin)  
🗑
categories of enzymes   show
🗑
show all cellular chemical rxns consisting of anabolism (molecular synthesis) and catabolism (molecular degradation)  
🗑
three stages of metabolism   show
🗑
show energy acquiring stages of metabolism, can be anaerobic or aerobic  
🗑
show respiration where oxygen is not required, includes glycolysis and fermentation  
🗑
glycolysis   show
🗑
show expends two ATPs to phosphorylate the molecule  
🗑
3-C stage of glycolysis   show
🗑
show 4 ATP + 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH  
🗑
show glucose + 2 ATP + 2 NAD+  
🗑
show glucose + 2 ATP + 2 NAD+ --> 2 pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 NADH  
🗑
show (1) glucose to glucose-6-phosphate (phosphorylated glucose) - assists facilitated diffusion mech which transports glucose into the cell (2) fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate at the expense of ATP  
🗑
substrate level phosphorylation   show
🗑
fermentation   show
🗑
show when cell/organism either unable to use the energy from NADH and pyruvate or has no oxygen to do so  
🗑
why does NAD+ need to be restored (in fermentation)   show

🗑
NADH brings back how many ATP   show
🗑
show 2  
🗑
show aka citric acid cycle, takes place in mitochondrial matrix to produce 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2 (also substrate level phosphorylation), loses two carbons as CO2, and reproduces oxaloacetic acid  
🗑

🗑
show tryglyceride - glycerol converted to PGAL and fatty acids converted go acyl CoA to acetyl CoA  
🗑
show deaminated in liver so amino acids can be converted to pyruvic acid or acetyl CoA or other steps in the Kreb's cycle
