Basic Human Biology
Concepts
** 100% Guaranteed Pass
** Expert-Verified Explanation
** Question with Correct Answer
** Latest Edition | Updated
, Proteins, What are proteins made up of? Amino Acids
How many levels of structure do proteins have? Four
Three or more amino acid joined together form a? Polypeptide chain
Metabolism Describes the chemical reaction that occurs in cells.
Metabolism Pathways Anabolism, Catabolism.
Anabolism A type of reaction in cells where small molecules combine to form larger
molecules.
Catabolism A type of reaction in cells where larger molecules are broken down into smaller
molecules.
Organic Compounds Compounds that contain the element carbon.
Carbohydrates* Organic compounds that can be broken down into simple sugars(glucose) by the
body and used as a source of energy.
Monosaccharides Most simple type of carbohydrate you can have it's made of one just one sugar
unit.
Oligosaccharide Carbohydrates composed of two or more sugar units combined; include a type of
carbohydrate called disaccharide which are composed of exactly two sugar units.
Cellular Respiration Process Converting molecules, such as proteins, Fats, & carbohydrates into cellular
energy.
Adenosine Triphosphate Also known as ATP a molecule that is used inside cells its the primary form of
energy used by cells to perform work. It is the nucleotide adenine(A) with three
phosphate groups instead of one.
Glycolysis* The first step in cellular respiration; the process of breaking down a molecule of
glucose into two molecules of pyruvate that takes place in the cytoplasm of cells;
its an anaerobic process.
Anaerobic A process in which oxygen is absent.
Krebs Cycle Second stage of cellular respiration its a series of chemical reactions used to
generate energy, aerobically. From the pyruvate generated by glycolysis &
catabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, & lipids & its used to produce ATP, NADH,
& FADH2.
