Q

Explain negative feedback loop

A

low blood sugar-> liver cells break down glycogen -> individual glucose units released into blood -> blood sugar rises

20
Q

Fn of carbohydrates

A

1- energy source
2- converted to glycogen orfat
3- structural purposes (ie cell wall)

21
Q

lipids have more potential energy because

A

in the bonds they have lower % of Oxygens,

22
Q

Lipids “building blocks”

A

fatty acids (backbone) and glycerol (backbone)

23
Q

Saturated vs unsaturated triglycerides

A

is it saturated w hydrogens?

each carbon in saturated has 2 hydrogens

in unsaturated some C can have only 1 H

24
Q

Triglycerides fn

A
  • energy source
  • thermal insulator
  • protect organs
25
Q

phospholipid fn

A

-basic structure of cell membrane

26
Q

cholesterol fn

A
  • stability of cell membrane

- production of all steroid molecules

27
Q

steroid fn

A

-chemical messengers

28
Q

some biologically important lipid molecules that were listed in notes

A
  • bile acids
  • eicosanoids (cell communicators)
  • dietary fats (absorbing vitamins)
29
Q

Inorganic compounds (list)

A
  • water
  • salts
  • acid and base buffers
30
Q

Special characteristics of water (list) (5)

A
  • high heat capacity (for insulating)
  • high heat of vaporization (for cooling)
  • polarity making it the universal solvent
  • highly reactive (often used to break or make bond- Hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis
  • adhesion to other molecules and itself- lots of pulling action
31
Q

Solvent vs solute

A

solvent: the “liquid” part of a solution

The solute is the “solid” part of a solution

32
Q

Overview of polymer fn

A

-energy storage (eventually broken into smaller subunits for use)

33
Q

Ionic compounds do

A

-conduct electricity
(Na and K important in nerve impulses and muscle movement)
-attract to other charged particles, good for ‘carrying things’(ie oxygen carried by iron ion)

important to have charges in many biological functions

34
Q

Acid vs base def

A
  • acid: donates proton (eg H+), ‘ sour’

- base: acts as proton acceptor (alkaline) ie bicarbonate ion, ‘bitter’ ‘slippery’

35
Q

pH def

A

“potential of hydrogen”
-the acidity or alkalinity (basic) of a solution

pH=-log [H+]

36
Q

neutral pH is

A

7

Q

Buffers def

A

substance in a solution that prevents pH change

act as either bases of acids, depending on the situation (weak acid-base pair)

39
Q

blood pH

A

7.35-7.45

if high: alkalosis
if low: acidosis

40
Q

what neutralizes stomach acid?

A

pancreas releasing bicarbonate

41
Q

Classification of joints (3)

A
  • synarthroses: immoveable (skull sutures)
  • amphiarthroses: slightly movable (between vertebrae)
  • diarthroses: highly/freely movable (shoulder, knee)
42
Q

origin vs insertion part of a bone

A

in relation to movement
origin- fixed, not moving
insertion, attachement for the muscle, the moving part.

43
Q

Types of Joints (3)

A
  • Fibrous
  • Cartilaginous
  • Synovial
44
Q

Fibrous joints (3 types)

A
  • sutures (filled w connective fibers)
  • syndesmoses (connected by ligaments)
  • gomphoses (peg and socket) teeth
45
Q

Cartilaginous joints (2)

A
  • synchondroses (united by hyaline cartilage plate)

- symphyses surface covered with articular cartilage

46
Q

synovial joints (3)

A
  • ball and socket
  • hinge
  • pivot
47
Q

covalent vs ionic bonds

A

covalent: share the bonds
Ionic:
