1
New cards
Carbohydrates
Simple (sugars), (Uses)made of CHO, stores energy and helps structure. Monomer:Monosaccharides. Polymer:Polysaccharides. Ex glucose,starch bread cellulose
2
New cards
Lipids
(Fats and oils), CHO (sometimes P).(uses)long term energy, insulation, protection and waterproofing. Made of one glycerol + 3 fatty acids. Ex Olive oil, wax, steroids, butter, cholestal, avocado oil.
3
New cards
Proteins
(amino acids), CHON(sometimes S), (uses) builds muscles, skin and hair, speeds up chemical reactions, helps immune system and sends chemical medicine. Monomer: amino acids, Polymer: polypeptide. Ex: Hormones, antibodies, enzymes, HEMOGLOBIN.
4
New cards
Nucleic acids
(Nucleotide), CHONP, (uses) transmits hereditary information and stores instruction for cells, Monomer: sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen base, Polymer Deoxyribose and ribose. Made of a nitrogen base, sugar and a phosphate group. Ex:DNA and RNA
5
New cards
Phospholipid
A lipid that contains phosphorus
6
New cards
Saturated fats
Single bonded, solid at room temp, are usually bad for you(straight bond)
7
New cards
unsaturated fats
Double bonded, liquid at room temp and are good for you.( connected bond)[diagonal}
8
New cards
Hormones
help maintain homeostasis, thirst
9
New cards
Macromolecules
Large molecules; polymers, monomers, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids
speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. It is not changed by the reaction.
19
New cards
Enzyme
A biological catalyst,(Speeds up reactions by lowering the activation energy)
20
New cards
Optimal Temperature
A certain temperature where the reaction rate is the highest.
21
New cards
Optimal pH
A certain pH were the reaction rate is the highest.
22
New cards
denature
When an enzyme passes optimal temperature or pH
23
New cards
Endothermic
When energy is absorbed over the course of the reaction
24
New cards
Exothermic
When energy is released over the course of the reaction
25
New cards
Enzyme substrate complex
Where the enzyme and the substrate combined to either become a substrate and an enzyme or a enzyme and two products.
26
New cards
Activation energy
The energy needed for the reactants to make a reaction
27
New cards
Phospholipid bilayer
2 layers of the cell membrane made of Hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails
28
New cards
Hydrophobic
Fatty and tails(lipid) fear of water
29
New cards
Hydrophilic
phosphate head(likes water)
30
New cards
Selectively permeable membrane(semi permeable)
some molecules can enter or exit but not both
31
New cards
Simple diffusion
a type of passive transport that moving molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration does not use ATP. Way to maintain homeostasis.
32
New cards
Facilitated diffusion
a type of passive transport that moving molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration does not use ATP. Uses protein channels or carrier proteins.
33
New cards
Osmosis
a type of passive transport that moves water from a high concentration to a low concentration. Moves from Hypotonic to Hypertonic. Does not require ATP
34
New cards
Hypertonic
When there are more solutes on one side
35
New cards
Hypotonic
When there are more water molecules on the other side
36
New cards
Isotonic
When the two sides of the membrane have equal solutes
37
New cards
Lyse
To burst
38
New cards
Osmosis Facilitated Diffusion
protein channel that uses aquaporin to move large amounts of water molecules
39
New cards
polar molecules
slightly charged(reject non polar)
40
New cards
non polar molecules
no charge(reject polar)
41
New cards
Active transport
transport of a substance across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient. Low to high concentration that requires ATP.
42
New cards
What does ATP turn into after it is used.
ATP turns into ADP
43
New cards
Endocytosis
takes in larger molecules
44
New cards
Exocytosis
(golgi) push out large molecules
45
New cards
extracellular
outside the cell
46
New cards
Intracellular
inside the cell
