|
Biosynthesis |
A type if synthesis that is formed from reactions of small less complex biomolecules to make up bigger more complex forms
|
It's more complex than synthesis
|
|
|
The first law of thermodynamics
|
Energy can not be destroyed or created, but can be altered.
|
Bae's fashion sense
|
|
|
The second law of thermodynamics
|
Systems tend to change in a way that increases the disorder, or entropy of the system plus it's surroundings.
|
Teenage mind is more complex
|
|
|
Entropy
|
A degree if disorganization of a system, showing how much energy can no longer be used for work
|
Relates to second law of thermodynamics
|
|
|
Enzymes
|
Proteins that lower activation energy required to make a reaction
|
They are not consumed they are reusable
|
|
|
Digestion
|
The process that brakes down food
|
Consist of two parts, one physical and one chemical
|
|
|
Small Intestine
|
The chemical digestion is finished and food molecules are absorbed
|
6m long
|
|
|
Salivary Amylase
|
An enzyme that begins the digestion of starch in to disaccharides
|
The digestive start of a starch
|
|
|
Lipase
|
Fat digestion enzymes that splits fats into fatty acids and glycerol located in intestinal juices
|
Lipase lipids
|
|
|
Villi
|
Small fingerlike projections made of tiny, thin-walled blood vessels that serve as entry points to the bloodstream( called capillaries)
|
|
|
|
Catalysts
|
Chemicals that lower activation energies
|
Enzyme are this in living organisms
|
|
|
Active site
|
Is a specific reaction catalyzed by enzyme depending on a small area of its territory structure
|
Has a shape that closely matches the shape a starting molecule
|
|
|
Substrate
|
The close fit of the starting molecule with the enzyme
|
Brings it closer together
|
|
|
Metabolism
|
Consist of all chemical activity and changes that take place in a cell or organism
|
2 types
|
|
|
Synthesis
|
Building up reactions, to things added together.
|
A+B=AB
|
|
|
Decomposition
|
When two chemicals or substances are broken up and separated in to separate things
|
Releases free energy
|
|
|
Salivary Amylase
|
An enzyme that begins the digestion of starch in to disaccharides
|
The digestive start of a starch
|
|
|
ATP
|
When free energy from oxidation ends up in a molecule
|
Drives the reaction of biosynthesis
|
|
|
Pepsin
|
A gland produced by the stomach that is used to split proteins
|
Peptobismal
|
