Biochemistry Flashcards

8772017186	Saturated Fats	Solid at room temperature -Contains No double bonds -Can be stacked -ie) butter and fat	0
8772022091	Unsaturated Fats	Liquid at room temperature -usually bent (double bond) -CANNOT be stacked -ie) oils and fish	1
8772026881	Functions of Lipids	-Insulated internal organs -Builds cell membranes -makes LONG TERM energy compared to carbohydrates -Important to hormone production	2
8772030589	Function of Cholesterol	-Insulates the cell within the cell membrane -Makes hormones	3
8772034472	Ester Bond	Bond between glycerol and fatty acids in a triglyceride	4
8772038709	Polyunsaturated	More than 1 C-C double bond	5
8772042227	Monounsaturated	One C-C double bond	6
8772044394	Proteins components	Made up of Carbon, hydrogen,oxygen , Nitrogen (CHON)	7
8772051146	Membrane Proteins	M	8
8772051803	Important to make hormones	I	9
8772051805	Source of energy	S	10
8772059225	Structure building muscles	S	11
8772061714	Enzymes to speed up biochemical reactions	E	12
8772062322	Defence to fight infections	D	13
8772062323	Amino Acids	Monomers of protein (building block of protein)	14
8772063179	Enzymes	Speed up the chemical breakdown process -can be used over and over again -Are catalysts, as they are not affected by the reaction itself	15
8772067155	Lock and Key Model	-Enzyme and substrate must be an EXACT match for reactions to proceed -The enzyme holds the substrate in place for the H2O to break down	16
8772073113	Induced Fit Model	The enzyme changes according to the shape of the substrate	17
8772078608	Secondary Structures	Alpha helixes, Beta pleated sheets	18
8772079495	Tertiary Structure	Alpha helices and beta pleated sheets are folded and held together by bonds to give it a 3D shape	19
8772086453	Quaternary Structure	More than one polypeptide chain held together by bonds	20
