1.11 Proteins
What are Proteins?
They are polymers and are made up of amino acids.
What are Lipids?
A diverse group of hydrophobic organic compounds, including fats and oils primarily composed of fatty acids and glycerol.
What is The Cell Theory?
A fundamental principle in biology that states= All living organisms are composed of one ore more cells all life functions occur within cels and cells arise from preexisting cells.
What are Common Cell Organelles?
They are found in cells like the cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and genetic material (DNA and RNA).
What are Functions of proteins?
They have structural support, transport, catalysis, and immune response.
What are the Monomers Of Lipids?
Fatty acids which can be classifies into saturated (Single bonds solid at room temperature) and unsaturated (Double bonds liquid at room temperature) fatty acids.
What does The Cell Theory unify?
Various biological disciplines and emphasizes the importance of cells as the basic unit of life.
What are Enzymes?
The specific type of protein that acts as biological catalysts, speeding up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required.
What do Lipids serve as?
They serve as essential functions, icluding energy storage.
Why was the Microscope important?
It helped the development of The Cell Theory allowing scientist to observe cells for the first time.
What is the relationship between Protein Structure and Functions?
Changes in structure can lead to loss of function as seen.
Why is Cell Diversity important?
Allows different types of cells to have unique structures that correlate with their specific functions.
Protein Examples?
Enzymes (Amylase), Structural Proteins (Keratin), and Transport Proteins (Albumin).
What is the concept of a Structure Function?
Central to understanding how cells operate and interact with their environment.
