An amine

21
Q

Phospholipids digested to

A

Free fatty acids

22
Q

How is cholesterol absorbed

23
Q

5 functions of dietary lipids

A
Energy
Insulation
Cell membranes
Hormones
Emulsification
24
Cholesterol is raw material for lots of what
Hormones
25
What is the myeline sheath
A coating of fat that covers them
26
What is MS
Erosion of myeline sheath
27
What must happen to proteins before the amino acids are cleaved apart
Denatured
28
What type enzymes cleave amino acids apart
Protease enzymes
29
Where can free amino acids be absorbed
Small intestine
30
6 functions proteins
``` Immunity Structures (muscles, collagen) Enzymes Hormones Neurotransmitters Energy ```
31
hormones are made up of
proteins
32
describe process of denaturing protein
3D shape broken into string of amino acids | protease enzymes then chop up string
33
what are enzymes
biological catalysts which speed up chemical reactions up to thousands of times
34
are enzymes highly specific
yes! to what substrate they react with
35
how to enzyme names usually end
in 'ase' unless protein related - 'in'
36
are enzymes changed or consumed in a chemical reaction
NO! they can perform the same one many times
37
as enzymes are proteins they can easily be -
denatured/destroyed by PH/temperature changes
