◉ how can diabetes lead to glycation and AGEs?
Answer: diabetes is insulin resistance or lack of insulin
production = increased blood sugar. glucose links with proteins
when there is too much. glycated collagen has decreased elasticity
of veins = damage to capillaries, eyes, kidneys, nerves
◉ What is catabolism?
Answer: breaking down molecules
◉ what is anabolism?
Answer: building up
◉ what is a carbohydrate?
Answer: macromolecule. a type of sugar.
◉ What is a monosaccharide?
Answer: single sugar
◉ What is a disaccharide?
Answer: double sugar
,◉ What is a polysaccharide?
Answer: macromolecule; made from hundreds to thounsands of
monosaccharides. stores as glycogen and startch.
◉ what are alpha linkages?
Answer: seen in animal polysaccharides. look the same in
linkages.
◉ what is a beta linkage?
Answer: seen in plant polysaccharides. face in opposite directions.
◉ what is insulin?
Answer: hormone; lowers blood sugar
◉ what is glucagon?
Answer: hormone; raises blood sugar
◉ what is glycogen?
Answer: form of glucose storage in liver
◉ What is glycogenesis?
Answer: formation of glycogen from glucose
, ◉ what is glut4?
Answer: glucose transporter
◉ what is glycogenolysis?
Answer: glycogen breakdown, release of glucose
◉ what is aerobic metabolism?
Answer: ATP production using oxygen, breaks down fats and
carbs.
◉ what is cellular respiratoin?
Answer: cathbolic pathways of aerobic and anaerboic; break
down molecules by using electron trainsport chain for ATP
production
◉ what is glycolysis?
Answer: breakdown of glucose, creates 2 new ATP and 2 pyruvate
◉ What is the citric acid cycle?
Answer: creation of 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 and 2 CO2 molecules in
each turn of the cycle
◉ what is ETC?
