MUST KNOW Flashcards
(35 cards)
Polar.
- HYDROPHILIC
- unequal sharing
-NH, SH, OH OR CHARGES
Non polar
- hydrophobic
-equal sharing - NO SH OH NH OR CHARGES= hydrophobic
When finding an amino acid/ r group
- Amino group
- CARBOXYL group
- Central carbon
- R group
* if there’s an amino acid = there’s an r group*
Cellulose
Polysaccharide produced in plants
Provides structure for cell walls
Plant polysaccharide that can’t be broken down into human digestive system
maltose
Breaks down to provide quick energy
Disaccharide
Glucose + glucose
Glucose
Monosaccharide
Monomer connected together via dehydration synthesis to make cellulose, glycogen and starch
Chitin
Polysaccharide found in fengal cell walls
Polymers found in bugs
Starch
Energy storage polysaccharide produce by plants
Glycogen
Energy storage polysaccharide found in animals
Polymers found in bugs
Lipids are….
Hydrophobic
Saturated
C-C-C-C
No double bonds in carbon atoms
Unsaturated
Double bonds or more between carbon atoms
Bends form
Hypotonic
Lower concentration of solute (sugar) and higher water
Hypertonic
Lower h2o and bigger concentration of sugar
Membranes more fluid at lower temperature
- more unsaturated fat acid
- cholesterol
- shirt tail fat acids
- few proteins
Which molecules can move across phospholipid bilayer
Small hydrophobic molecules
Steps
Hormones
Fecal transplants
Transfer of bacteria from stool from healthy donor into the gastrointestinal tract if an individual who has unearthly for micro biome
Quorum sensing molecules
They can bind receptors and cause a response in population
Anti quorum sensing molecules
Keeps quorum sensing from happening by building and blocking receptors
What makes up endomembrane system
Plasma membrane
Transport vesicles
Lysosome
Golgi apparatus
Endoplasmic reticulum ( rough/smooth)
Lysosome
Molecules that are broken down by hydrolysis
They’re part of endomembrane system
Peroxisome
Molecules broken down by oxidation
Not in endomembrane system
Gut microbiome function
Affects brain development, impacts vitamins, and mentally
Neurotransmitters travel through blood stream and impacts brain
Gut bran axis function
Links to emotional and cognitive centers of brain
Influences mood and mental health
System of communication between gut and brain
