25
Q

DHA

A

Unsaturated
22:6n-3

26
Q

alpha anomer

A

OH is on the opposite side of the ring as the C6 carbon (trans)

27
Q

beta anomer

A

OH is on the same side of the ring as the C6 carbon (cis)

28
Q

anomeric carbon

A

always C1

29
Q

Cellulose

A
  • plant structure
  • beta linkages
  • every other glucose is inverted
30
Q

Amylose

A
  • plant energy storage
  • alpha linkages that humans can digest
  • no branching but the chains have a helical structure - 8 glucose residues per turn
31
Q

Glycogen

A
  • animal energy storage
  • alpha- 1,4 linkages create straight chain and alpha - 1,6 linkages create branching
  • branching increases glucose breakdown as enzymes can take glucose from multiple branches
  • helical shape
32
Q

How does saturation affect melting point?

A
  • MP decreases with unsaturation (increase in double bonds)
  • the longer the saturated chain, the higher the melting point
33
Q

TAGs

A
  • triglycerides: glycerol and three fatty acids
  • fatty acids are fed into beta oxidation -> longer the chain, the more energy it can produce
  • longer form of energy: hydrophobic and higher energy density per gram
34
Q

How is fluidity controlled?

A
  • if temperature rises, cell membrane fluidity increases so the # of saturated fatty acids increases
  • if temperature decreases, cell membrane fluidity decreases so the # of unsaturated fatty acids increases
35
Q

Glycerophospholipids

A
  • structure: glycerol attached to saturated fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid, and polar head group
  • precursor: phosphatidic acid
36
Q

PIP2

A
  • second messenger in a variety of signaling pathways
  • head group is cleaved and moved down to initiate and continue signaling cascade
37
Q

Sphingolipids

A
  • structure: sphingosine attached to fatty acid and PO4- choline
  • precursor: ceramide
38
Q

Lateral Diffusion

A
  • phospholipid moves next on same membrane
  • faster than transverse
39
Q

Transverse Diffusion

A
  • phospholipid moves from one membrane to another side
40
Q

Flippase

A
  • specific
  • ATP-driven
  • flips back inward
  • phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine
41
Q

Floppase

A
  • specific
  • ATP-driven
  • flips back outward
  • sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine
42
Q

Scramblase

A
  • non-specific bidirectional movement
  • Ca 2+ -> high levels of Ca 2+ triggers apoptosis and inhibits flippase and floppase
43
Q

Eicosanoids

A
  • local hormones
  • derived from archidonic acid
  • autocrine and paracrine signaling
  • huge role in inflamatory responses
44
Q

Sterols

A
  • global hormones
  • derived from cholesterol
  • endocrine signaling
  • plays a role in components of membranes and signaling across the body
