GEN. BIO 1

• Bio molecules, also known as organic molecules, include glucose, the main type of sugar in the blood.
• The term for the three-dimensional structure of a protein that results from interactions between amino acid side chains is tertiary structure.
• The role of proteins in digestive enzymes is to catalyze chemical reactions.
• In the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecule is directly involved in this process.
• Protein degradation is a genetic mutation that leads to the production of misfolded proteins.
• Primary structure is a protein structure that involves the sequence of amino acids.
• Collagen, a fibrous protein, is abundant in bones.
• Alzheimer's disease is a protein disorder characterized by misfolded proteins accumulating in the brain.
• If an individual consumes a diet rich in saturated fats over an extended period may be at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
• Hemoglobin is an example of a transport protein which facilitates the transport of oxygen.
• The primary function of carbohydrates in living organisms is energy storage.
• Galactose is also known as the brain sugar.
• Pectin is a carbohydrate that may enhance the texture of the cake without making the cake too sweet.
• Enzymes are types of protein catalyzes chemical reactions and speeds up biological processes.
• An enzyme necessary to break down lactose is called lactase.
• Phospholipids is a molecule with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components.
• C, H, O in a 1:2:1 ratio is the chemical composition of carbohydrates.
• Glycogen is an example of a complex carbohydrate.
• An adrenocorticoid called aldosterone is produced in the adrenal cortex that is involved in responding to stress and maintaining the balance of ions in the kidneys.
• Almond milk can be an alternative carbohydrate source without experiencing digestive issues for people with lactose intolerance.
• Starch is a type of carbohydrate that is present in potatoes.
• Cellulose is the carbohydrate that has a role in the plant cell wall.
• A type of protein involved in the body's defense mechanism and immune response is antibodies.
• The primary function of proteins involved in defense is to protect against pathogens.
• Amylase is an enzyme that is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates into simpler sugars during digestion.
• Structural support is the main function of proteins in living organisms.
• People with Lactose intolerance may experience discomfort, bloating, and gas after consuming dairy products.
• Essential amino acids (EAA) cannot be produced by the human body and must be obtained from the diet.
• The electrons for the Light Reactions come from water.
• High-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are associated with cholesterol transport.
• Chlorophyll gives leaves a green color because it reflects green light.
• There are 20 types of amino acids commonly found in proteins.
• Proteins are often referred to as the "building blocks of life" because they are central compounds necessary for life.
• RuBP (Ribulose 1,5 biphosphate) is the 5 - Carbon molecules that the Calvin Cycle starts and ends with.
• Quaternary structure forms alpha helices or beta sheets.
• Active transport consumes ATP in the cell.
• The role of proteins in digestive enzymes is to catalyze chemical reactions.
• Lactate is a substance that increases in concentration in contracting human muscle cells when their respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen.
• Conditional amino acids are the term for amino acids that are not vital but may become urgent during a health crisis.
• The correct equation for cellular respiration is Oxygen + Sugar - > Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy.
