ions in the body
what ions are needed to form nerve impulses
K+ and Na+
five monosaccharides are...
glucose,
fructose,
galactose,
ribose,
and deoxyribose!!!!
two polysaccharides:
starch (amalose that holds plants together)
and glycogen (from animal tissue
what two molecules can be easily converted to sugar for blood sugar
galactose and fructose
what molecule has a flat interlocking ring structure
steroids
what ions form hemoglobin in red blood cells allowing for oxygen transportation
Fe- (iron)
how are disaccharides formed?
lipids are made of a lot of two molecules and a little of one molecule
a lot of carbon and hydrogen
a little of oxygen
when triglycerides are oxidized, what is released
large amounts of energy throughout the area
steroids aid in these two processes
adrenal function and reproduction
what ion will form a major extracellular anion for reactions
Cl-
what happens because disaccharides are too large to accept?
they are broken down through hydrolysis (a water molecule is added to each bond)
if something is unsaturated, it does not have...
a straight carbon bond structure, creating kinks
protecting the deeper body tissue from heat loss or damage
how many amino acids build protein
and
what percent of the human body is made of protein
20
and
50%
what ion is found in bones as well as a co-factor in enzymes in metabolic reactions?
Mg+
three examples of disaccharides:
lactose,
sucrose,
and maltose
what are neutral fats called?
triglycerides
phospholipids are the same structure as lipids but they contain a...
phosphorus bend
collagen and keratin are examples of...
and
where are collagen and keratin found
fibrous/structural proteins
and
in bone, and in nails+hair
what ion, as a salt, is for bone structure, nucleic acids, proteins, and ATP/ADP
P-
since polysaccharides are too large + are insoluble, they act as....
storage locations
what is the purpose of ribose and deoxyribose?
they form DNA and RNA
what molecule interacts easily w/ water AND maintains barriers and the cellular level?
phospholipids
globular proteins are known for being...
and they consist of these things
very mobile at all times, circulating all throughout the body
they get stuff done!
hormones, antibodies, and transport proteins
