Q

What speeds up chemical reaction and lowers the activation energy?

22
Q

What proteins bind to insoluble and non polar molecules to make them water soluble in order transport through the body? Some bio molecules & gases are not soluble in water.

A

Binding proteins

23
Q

Ligands

A

Molecules that bind to proteins @ special sites

24
Q

Affinity

A

To describe the attraction between a ligand and its binding site

25
Saturation
Describes when all the binding sites are occupied cause the enzyme to no longer increase
26
Whats it called when the amount of protein increases within a cell
Up-regulation
27
Denatured
When a protein loses its binding site causing it to no longer be working. from temperature exposure, undesired pH.
28
Proteolytic
Description of a fragmented inactive protein that’s removed to create and active protein
29
Antagonists
Also called inhibitors since they bind to a protein and decrease it’s activity
30
What type of connection occurs on a protein from a non-ligand that physically blocks ligands from binding
Competitive inhibition
31
Allosteric activation
Description of a molecule binds to a protein away from a binding site and then activated that binding site
32
What extra cellular fluid surrounds body tissues and or body organs
Interstitial fluid
33
What extra cellular fluid is for blood cells
Plasma
34
What is the outer surface of a cell called? It’s made of lipids and embedded proteins
Plasma membrane
35
Cytoplasm
The fluid that contains all fluid and solid material inside a plasma membrane
36
Non- membranous organelles, insoluble materials inside of a cell and don’t have a membrane
Inclusions
37
The organelle in a cell that contains all genetic material that’s used to make proteins and control cell processes
Nucleus
38
Small, dense granules of RNA & protein that manufacture proteins in the directions of the cells DNA and mRNA
Ribosomes
39
This organelle is a interconnected network that has a smooth or rough appearance. It lumen protein modifications or lipid synthesis can occur
Endoplasmic reticulum
40
These organelle have their own genetic material and are the power house of the cell
Mitochondria
41
This organelle receives protein from Rough ER and sends vesicles of them around the cell or out side
Golgi apparatus
42
Small storage vesicles of powerful enzymes that remove cellular components that are no longer needed
Lysosomes
43
Whats the body normal temp in F and C
98.6 F & 37 C
44
Normal PH for the human body
7.35-7.45
45
Name the steps in order for a feed back loop( 8)
1. Stimulus 2. Sensor 3. Aferente pathway 4.Integrating path way 5. Efferent pathway 6. Effector 7. Effector action 8. Response
46
Common disaccharides
Sucrose , maltose, lactose
47
Common polysaccharides
Glycogen , cellulose , starch GCS (Jesus)
48
What moves polar substrates across a cell membrane and has two types: channels or carrier proteins
Membrane transporters
49
Define a covalent modulation
When a phosphate would kinase or phosphatase
50
What do motor proteins do?
Proteins that move a organelle and other structures around the cell by “walking” along the cytosekelton in a fashion called kinesin
