-
Having both polar and non polar regions
Amphipathic
-
Four Types of Lipids
- 1) Phospholipids - membranes
- 2) Triaclylglycerols - store E/pad (adipose)
- 3) Steroids - metabolic activity/mem component
- 4) Fatty Acids - can act as local hormones
-
Lippoprotein Density
the greater the ratio of lipid to protein the lower the density (lipid is less dense than protein)
-
Glucose is ____ to form ATP.
Oxidized
-
What organ regulates blood glucose level?
- The Liver
- Can convert glycogen to glucose (gluconeogensis)
-
In the absence of insulin:
Only neural and hepatic cells can absorb sufficient glucose.
-
What can absorb glucose against the concentration gradient?
- - digestive epithelial
- - the proximal tubule of the kidney
utilizes secondary active transport
-
What do plants form from glucose?
Starch and Cellulose
-
What are some nucleotides besides A, T, C, G?
ATP, cAMP, NADH, FADH2
-
Lysase
Catalyzes the addition of one substrate to the double bond of another
-
Ligases
Governs addition reactions using E
-
-
Phosphatases
Dephosphorylates
-
Metabolism: Ana- vs. Cata-
Ana = synthesize
Cata = degradation
-
Glycolosis Products
Glucose --> 2 Pyruvate, 2 (4-2) ATP, 2 NADH
Occurs in the cytosol in the presence or absence of oxygen.
-
Lactose
Glucose + Galactose
-
Fermentation
The second step in anaerobic respiration.
Pyruvate is reduced to ethanol or lactic acid; NADH is oxidized back to NAD+
-
Net result of aerobic respiration
36 ATP
(ea glucose molecule produces 2 turns of the KREBs cycle)
-
Specifics of the products of respiration
- Each turn: 1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2
- For ea. NADH 2-3 ATP, for each FADH 2 ATP
