Allergy
Allergies affect which systems
(Daily Double: write down the main system and the any that apply)
What is the immune system (main system)
Others: Respiratory, Digestive
What is the system that is affected by lactose intolerance?
digestive system
What is the monomer of proteins?
Amino Acids
What is the end product of Transcription?
mRNA
What is the end product of Translation?
Amino Acids/Proteins
The main trigger for a Food Allergy
Protein
What is the name of the protein that a person with lactose intolerance is missing?
Lactase
Where does our body create new proteins?
Different cells
Different cells in our bodies make different proteins based on what those cells do.
Where does transcription take place?
Where inside the cell does translation takes place?
Ribosome
If someone is allergic to a certain proteins in all meats, this is what they can do to get the proteins they need to survive
Obtain it from other sources such as vegetables and Grains
(similar to what vegans eat for proteins)
What kind of protein is lactase?
an enzyme
What role did you play in the digestion activity? (When you were using scissors to cut up your proteins?)
Enzymes: breaking down proteins to amino acids
How are DNA and proteins related to one another?
DNA is like the instructions to make your proteins
What are the parts of mRNA that the ribosome reads?
(Hint: Every 3 nucleotides)
Codons
The 3 things (besides peptides) that make an allergic reaction happen?
antibodies, Mast cells, and histamine
What kind of macromolecule triggers lactose intolerance?
carbohydrate
What makes proteins different from one another?
Their different amino acids
The Nucleotide pairs for DNA and mRNA
What is
DNA --> mRNA
A --> U
G --> C
T --> A
C --> G
What is the purpose of the codon UGA?
It is the stop codon. It tells the ribosome to stop making proteins.
What are the jobs of:
Antibodies, Mast cells, and Histamine
What is...
1. Antibodies detect proteins and tell mast cell something is wrong
2. Mast cell gets the message and releases histamine
3. Histamine that causes symptoms such as swelling
The steps of lactose intolerance if a person that has this condition consumes milk
1. Body does not have enough lactase to break down lactose
2. Lactose passes down to lower intestine
3. Bacteria in intestine break down lactase instead, causing gas and bloating
Our body makes new proteins from the proteins we eat.
What are the 4 steps?
What is...
1. Enzymes break down protein into amino acids
2. Amino acids get absorbed in intestine
3. Amino acids get sent to the liver
4. Liver sends amino acids to different cells to make new proteins
