Exam #1 Flashcards
(44 cards)
3 Types of Basic Carbohydrates
- Monosaccharides
- Disaccharides
- Polysaccharides
Monosaccharides
Eg. Glucose
Fructose and Glucose, same formula, but different structure. This is known as ISOMERS
Disaccharides
Means two monosaccharides
- Eg. maltose and sucralose
Polysaccharides
Many monosacharides together
Eg. starch
1 Fat =
3 Fatty acids + 1 Glycerol
What is Cholesterol?
It’s a fat found in the cell membrane
Saturated Fats
Are found in animals such as butter, animal fat, means they will not dissolve with other compounds.
Hydrophobic - fats can’t dissolve
Steroid is saturated.
Unsaturated Fats
All vegetable fats.
Hydropholic
Any other compounds such as carbs dissolve in water
Organelles?
are the structure that perform metabolic functions, such as respiration, digestion and reproduction
Semipermeable
Some things can pass, some can’t that’s why cell membrane is complicated.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Have ribosomes and manufacture proteins
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Manufacture lipids
Golgi apparatus
2 functions:
- Store lipids and proteins
- If other cells need it, they ship them out
Chromatin Network
Are a bunch of chromosomes intertwined together
Nuclear Membrane has holes called?
Nuclear pores for DNA and RNA
Ribosomes?
Are organelles so they can produce proteins and present in cytoplasm
What is a Lysosome?
It is a suicide organelle, because when they break they release enzymes to either help the cell survive or kill the cell
Perioxisome
They have enzyme catalase and breaks down hydrogen peroxide to give our body water and oxygen = H20 + Oxygen
Microtubules and Microfilaments have 4 functions
- Cells are made different shapes because of the way they are arranged
- push out cytoplasm that they form structures such as cilia
- form flagellum
- form another organelle called centriole
What is the major commodity in cytoplasm?
Water and other organelles
Epithelium?
Is the covering tissue
3 types of epithelium?
- Squamous - 6 - sided, inside cheeks
- Columnar - inside small intestines
- Cuboidal - found in nephrons, in kidneys, which produce urine
Connective Tissue?
Bone, cartilage, tendon and ligaments
