56
Chemical Reaction
-Occur when chemical bonds are formed, rearranged or broken - Relative amounts of reactants and products - Theoretically reversible - Chem. equilibrium occurs if neither a forward nor reverse rxn is dominant - Many biological reactions are not reversible because: Energy requirements, removal of products
57
Reactant
Input of a chemical equation
58
Products
Output of a chemical equation
59
Functions of Carbohydrates
Source of cellular energy, Structural purposes (genes), cell-to-cell interactions
60
Calorie content of carbohydrates
4 Cal/ g
61
Disaccharides
2 monosaccharides linked
62
Oligosaccharides
3-10 monosaccharides linked
63
Polysaccharides
Many monosaccharides linked together
64
Complex Carbohydrates
Polymer(Polysaccharide), chains of carbohydrates linked
65
Main types of lipids in the body
Neutral fats, Phospholipids, Steroids, Eicosanoids, Fat soluble vitamins
66
Functions of lipids
Source of energy, forms cell membrane, serves as fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), can function as steroids (hormones, membranes, cholesterol), serve as eicosanoids (Role in BP, inflammation and pain)
67
Hydrophobic
Water-fearing
68

78
Simple diffusion
Does not require ATP, molecules spread through membranes from an area of high concentration to low concentration
79
Carrier-Mediated Facilitated Diffusion
Via protein carrier specific for 1 chemical, binding of substrate causes shape change in transport protein
80
Channel-Mediated Facilitated Diffusion
Via a channel protein, mostly ions selected on basis of size and shape
81
