-
Metabolism
all reactions that occur in the body
-
Anabolism
building molecules
-
Catobolism
taking big molecules and breaking them down
-
Enzymes
catolysts that are found in organisms. They are subtrate specific.
-
substrate specific
don't catalyze any reaction. Only certain ones
-
Denature
Unraveling of a structure when temperature gets to high.
-
Digestion
taking molecules and breaking them down into building blocks.
-
Apoenzyme
is the protein of an enzyme.
-
Cofactor
a part of an enzyme. It is a non-protein.
-
Holoeenzyme
cofactor and apoenzyme
-
Coenzyme
small organic molecule, usually derived from a vitamin, that is needed to make an enzyme catolytically active. It acts by accepting enzymes from a reaction and transferring them to a different reaction.
-
Cellular Respiration
a process in which the cell uses oxygen to oxydize organic fuel molecules, thus providing a source of energy (ATP) as well as carbon dioxide and water.
-
Glucose Catabolism
Glycolysisi, Krebs Cycle, Electron transport chain
-
Glycolysis
Takes place in the cytososel. The endproduct is pyruvic acid.
-
Aerobic
metabolism involves oxygen
-
anaerobic
metabolism doesn't use oxygen
-
Pinocytosis
taking in liquids
-
endocytosis
taking in material
-
antiport
takes in 2 directions
-
synport
takes in same direction
-
contransport
transporting 2 same direction
-
Electron Transport Chain
found in the innermitochondria membrane. It produces ATP and water. It is a serries of oxydization. It also passes electrongs to one component to another
-
Glycogen
storage form of glucose. Is stored in the liver and muscles
-
-
Triglycerides can turn into what?
glycerol or fatty acid. They both go through the krebs cycle.
-
Type 1 Diabetes
insulin production lessons or stops. Can't get glucose into the cells.
-
Connective Tissue
surrounds organs and binds everything together.
-
What are the types of connective tissue?
Loose, Dense, Cartilage, bone, blood
-
Protein fibers
give connective tissue a specific property.
-
what are the types of protein fibers?
cologen, elastic, and reticular
-
Ground substance
made of organic and inorganic chemicals. It is inter-cellular substance
-
What are the parts of the Cardiovascular system
Blood, heart, and blood vessels
-
what is the function of blood
it is a transport medium. It transports nutrients, cellular waste, osygen, carbon dioxide, hormones. It is important in maintaining body PH and temperature. It is also involved in immunity.
-
Characteristics of blood
It makes up 8-10% of body weight. It is bright red and dark red at certain points.
-
What does the color of the blood indicate?
If it is a bright red it indicates that there is a high concentration of oxyhemoglobin. If it is dark there is a low concentration.
-
Components of blood
- Plasma=55%
- Formed Elements=45%
-
plasma
91% water, 7% protein, and 2% solutes.
-
Formed Elements in blood
Erythrocyte, Luekocytes, and Platelets
-
Erythrocyte
RBC make up 99% of formed elements. It has a biconcave shape, no nucleus or mitochondria. Its 1/2life is 120 days and contains hemogloen
-
Why is a Erythrocyte biconcave?
it increases flexibility and surface area
-
hemogloben
is a complex protein structure made of 4 polypeptide chains.
-
Luekocytes
WBC have nucleus and mitochondria. They are also capable of diapedsis. Involved in the Immune process.
-
Diapedsis
the ability for a cell to have movement
-
Platelets
Thrombocytes are not a true cell. They are biconvec in shape. They have granuals in the center. They have no nucleus, but some organelles. They are fragments of cells.
-
Hemopoeisis
is the process of making blood cells.
-
Hemocytoplast
is a cell that can form any cell in the blood.
-
Connective tissue
They are made of protein fibers,cells, and ground substance.
-
What cells make up connective tissue?
plasma, macrophages, and fibroblasts
-
Loose connective tissue
Is a fat tissue. The cells that make up connective tissues are big fat inclusions.
-
Brown Fat
High number of mitochondria. Found in fetuses
-
-
Reticular Connective Tissue
makes frame work of structures
-
Reticular Connective Tissue
-
Dense Connective Tissue
Have alot of protein. Dense colaginous
-
Regular Dense Connective Tissue
Cologen fibers all run one way
-
Iregular Dense Connective Tissues
Cologen fibers are running in all directions
-
Regular Dense Connective Tissue
-
Irregular dense connective tissue
-
Elastic Connective Tissue
found int the arteries. It is stretch and flexible
-
Elastic Connective Tissue
-
Cartilage
The condrocytes are in lucana. Make up the ear and part of the nose
-
Hyaine Cartilage
flexible
-
Fibrocartilage
has cologin in it. It is strong and resistant. It is also found between the virtebrae.
-
Elastic cartilage
It can stretch and recoil
-
