Module 18 Flashcards
(24 cards)
any class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consists of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids
Protein
Building blocks of proteins
Amino acids
With long chain of single amino acids connected by a peptide, as it becomes a long chain, it is called Polypeptide
Primary Protein structure
The long chain of polypeptides folded and form into sheets or helices
Secondary protein structure
Resulted when chain interactions happen and it went to three dimensional folding pattern
Tertiary Protein structure
Protein consisting of more than one amino acid chain
Quarternary Protein structure
A protein, such as MYOSIN, that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy, generating force that power cell movement and the transport of substances and organelles within cells
Motility Proteins
Provide support strength and protection.
Structural Proteins
Catalyze or speed up biochemical reactions in the body
Enzymes
Carry molecules from one place to another or across cell membranes.
Transport proteins
Signaling between different cell types stimulation or inhibiting function
it is made and enduring glands and passed from the cells of the gland directly into the blood flowing through the gland
Hormones
Label cells for targets for hormones viruses growth factors recognition self transmission of nerve impulse
Cell-surface receptor
Signaling between neurons and brain cells
Neurotransmitter
- Recognition of foreign substances that enters the body
-also known as antibodies - critical part of the immune response by specifically recognizing and binding to particular antigens, such as bacteria or viruses and aiding in their destruction
Immunoglobulins
Loosely defined class of enzymes that regulate metabolic pathways in energy homeostasis including glucose lipid and amino acid metabolisms.
Metabolic enzymes
Their main attributes to convert food into nutrients which are taken into the bloodstream
Digestive enzymes
It is ingested by the body through the raw food that we eat daily. When ingested, it contains enzymes provide us with digestive enzymes elementary for our digestion
Food enzymes
Protein is different from lipid and carbohydrate in composition because it has:
a). Nitrogen b). Hydrogen c). Oxygen d). Carbon
A. nitrogen
The protein that helps transport oxygen from the lungs to the different part of the body is called
Hemoglobin
The polypeptide as a structure of protein is a
a). Long chain of amino acid b). Folded chain c). Hilux d). Beta pleated sheet
A. Long chain of amino acid
Biomolecules that speed up biological processes of digestion and metabolism are called
Enzymes
The enzyme lactase helps digest lactose, a sugar in milk. Some people do not have lactase in their digestive tract and they cannot digest:
Milk
Protein even in excess will be turn into carbohydrates or fats and will be seen as
Adipose tissues
Consuming so much protein foods such as meat fish chicken and eggs can be stressful to the
Heart
