Building
building blocks of polymers
monomers (and dimers)
All the building up and breaking down processes in the body
metabolism
goal of cellular respiration
make ATP - energy
pH below 7, red litmus, sour - lemon juice, vinegar
acids
Enzymes act on particular substance called
substrate
monomers of proteins
amino acids
Digestion is example of anabolism or catabolism
catabolism
glycolysis - 1st step
neutral pH - water -
pH = 7
series of enzyme controlled reactions
metabolic pathway
building up processes
anabolism
breaking down processes in metabolism
catabolism
Step in cellular respiration where most ATP is produced
electron transport chain - 3rd step
pH of human blood
7.35-7.45
Disorder in the lungs where the protein is not correct - causes thick, sticky mucous
cystic fibrosis
Building blocks of DNA, RNA
nucleic acids
Large molecule is broken down into smaller molecules - water is added
hydrolysis
byproducts of cellular respiration
carbon dioxide (CO2) and water
Blood pH below 7.35
acidosis
type of lipid that cell membranes are made of
phospholipid
process where 2 molecules join and a molecule of water is lost
dehydration synthesis
Digestion is an example of dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis?
hydrolysis
Total number of ATP's produced from 1 glucose during cellular respiration
36-38
Hyperventilating - getting rid of too much carbon dioxide - causes what?
respiratory alkalosis (blood pH too high)
type of lipid that is solid at room temperature - has all single bonds and maximum amount of hydrogen
saturated fats - butter, lard, shortening
