Cell Bio Carbs Flashcards
(33 cards)
homeostasis
the tendency of a physiological system to maintain internal stability
components of biological membranes
lipids (phospholipids, glycolipids) proteins (integral, peripheral) carbs water divalent cations cholesterin (not in most prokaryotes)
Cellular compartmentalization
functional separation within the cell
helps cell run efficiently
types of membranes in an eukaryote
plasma membrane nuclear membrane (inner & outer) ER & golgi apparatus membrane mitochondrial membrane (inner and outer) Peroxisomes & lysosomes
Function of nuclear membrane
genetic info
transcription
nuclear receptors
function of ER membrane
synthesis of proteins & lipids
Ca++ storage
post-translational modifications
function of golgi apparatus membrane
protein processing post-translational modifications polysaccharide synthesis phosphorylation packaging of proteins for transport
function of mitochondria membrane
oxidation of carbs and lipids
function of lysosome membrane
digestion of macromolecules
function of perososome membrane
oxidation of organic molecules, catalase
What are the three main metabolism pathways?
Glycolysis, TCA, ETC
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
Outputs of Glycolysis
2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, 2 NADH
What are the main functions of Carbs
Energy source
storage form of energy (glycogen)
cell membrane component of communication (glycocalyx)
structural component (cell wall of bacteria)
3C carb
trioses ex. glyceraldehyde
4C carb
tetroses- ex. erythrose
5C carb
pentose- ex. ribose
6C carb
hexose- ex. gluctose and fructose
aldose
aldehyde at 1st C- ex. ribose and glucose
ketose
ketone group on 2nd C- ex. fructose
isomers of glucose (2)
galactose and mannose
glycosidic bond
binds monosaccharides by dehydration
major dietary carbs
starch, glycogen, saccharose, lactose
What mechanism in the small intestines absorbs carbs?
Na+ symport through transport mechanisms (SGLT1 & GLUT5 and 2)
