lipids test

19
Q

Protein Comp + Structure

A

CHON (PS)
Amino acids + peptide links + polypeptide chains
20 common aino acids

20
Q

Protein shape

A

Proteins fold into shape
Function determined by shape

21
Q

Fibrous protein

A

Long fibres eg collagen + keratin
Secondary folding

22
Q

Globular protein

A

Spherical eg. enzymes + hormones
Tertiary folding

23
Q

Protein - denaturation

A

Shape changes + protein becomes inactive
Reason eg. Temp/pH

24
Q

Structural role of protein

A

Keratin = hair + nails
Myosin = muscle

25
Metabolic role of protein
Hormones, enzymes and antibodies
26
Protein test
Buriet's reagent
27
Water soluble + Fat soluble vitamins
Be Careful near Water A Fat Dog Eats Kibble
28
Vit c
Forms collagen (connective tissue), wound healing + gums Scurvy Citus
29
Vit D
Bone formation + calcium absorption Rickets + osteomalicia Milk + sun
30
Minerals - salt functions
Form rigid body structures - calcium + phosphorus - bones Form soft body tissues - copper => myosin - covers nerves Function in fluids + cells - sodium in cytoplasm + osmoregulation
31
Non salt functions
Calcium => middle lamella Magnesium => chlorophyll Iron => haemoglobin Calcium=> strong bones
32
Water
70-90% of cell mass universal solvent Hydrolysis Transports dissolved substances in & out of cell Absorbs heat -energy regulation
33
Food functions
Broken down for growth, repair + continuity of life Energy is released - ATP Creates enzymes
