Lipid anabolism - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

NURS 6501 ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM WITH BEST SOLUTIONS What is the plasma membrane? - encloses the cell and, by controlling the movement of substances across it, exerts a powerful influence on metabolic pathways What is signal transduction? - The transfer of molecular signals from the exterior to the interior of a cell. If not done apoptosis occurs What is protein regulation and what is it composed of? - protein homeostasis and is defined by the proteostasis network. This network i...

Homeostasis - Answer-the body's ability to maintain a constant environment, the body can detect change and respond Physiology - Answer-mechanisms to maintain homeostasis Negative Feedback Loop - Answer-body senses change and reacts to negate or reverse the condition Positive Feedback Loop - Answer-self-amplifying cycle in which an INITIAL change leads to a greater change and so on... Carbohydrates - Answer-functions as energy, structure, cell identity Triglycerides - Answer-type of lipid...

Anabolism - Uses energy to construct components of cells. Catabolism - Breaks down organic matter, for example, to harvest energy. Nutrient Density - A measure of the nutrient a food provides compared to its energy content. Trace Minerals - Needed only in tiny amounts. These minerals participate in most chemical reactions in the body. These include iron, zinc, iodine, copper, manganese. Protein Complementation - The act of consuming a variety of plant products to provide all the necessary...

training effect - Correct Answer-An increase in functional capacity of muscles and other bodily tissues as a result of increased stress (overload) placed upon them. Homeostasis - Correct Answer-The automatic tendency to maintain a relatively constant internal environment. Metabolism - Correct Answer-The total of all the chemical and physical processes by which the body builds and maintains itself (anabolism) and by which it breaks down its substances for the production of energy (catabolis...

How are cells specialized? - through the process of differentiation or maturation What are the eight specialized cellular functions? - movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption, secretion, excretion, respiration, reproduction, and communication What are the three general components of an eukaryotic cell? - the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm, and the intracellular organelles. What causes the release of lysosomal enzemes? - Cellular injury causing cellular self-digestion What is the...

Active transport - requires energy; movement low to high Adenylate kinase - phosphotransferase enzyme transferring phosphate groups Anabolism - opposite of catabolism; endothermic Antiporters - move substrates in opposite directions ATP synthase - enzyme that generates ATP from ADP and free Pi Beta Oxidation - breakdown of free atty acid chain; 2 carbons cleaved off to form 1 acetyl CoA; each acetyl coa forms 14 ATP Catabolism - reversible reaction; break down molecules into smaller ones;...

Metabolism - ANSWER-Sum of all chemical reactions in a living organism Catabolism - ANSWER-Large biochemical molecules are broken down to smaller ones Anabolism - ANSWER-Small biochemical molecules are joined to form larger ones Metabolic pathway - ANSWER-Series of consecutive biochemical reactions used to convert a starting material into an end product What are the two types of metabolic pathways? - ANSWER-Linear: Glycolysis, Cyclic: TCA Cycle Prokaryotic cell - ANSWER-• singl...
