MSU HNF 150 Exam 2 * 1.Protein contains: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
2.Protein: compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and arranged as strands of amino acids.
3.Amino acid side chains: Valine - 3 carbon Leucine - 4 carbon
Tyrosine - 7 carbon
4.Amino acids:: are the building blocks of protein
5.State the different paths an amino acid can take once it is in a cell: - The amino acid can be used as is to build part of a growing protein
-Make another needed compound, such as the vitamin niacin
-Make another type of amino acid
-Convert to glucose and burned as energy or stored as glycogen
-Convert to fat and burned for energy or stored in adipose tissue
6.Amino Acid Side Chains: Size Shape
Electrical charge
7.3 Amino Acids: Valine Leucine
Tyrosine
8.Polypeptide: protein fragments of many (more than 10) amino acids bonded together (Poly means "many").
9.Dipeptide: protein fragments that are two amino acids long (di means "two")
10.Tripeptide: protein fragments that are 3 amino acids long (tri means"three")
11.HCl: a strong corrosive acid of hydrogen and chloride atoms, produced by the stomach to assist in digestion. Denatures protein’ uncoils the strands
12.Electrolyte balance:: the distribution of fluid and dissolved particles
among body compartments
13.Enzyme:: proteins that facilitate chemical reactions without being changed in the process; protein catalysts.
14.Edema:: swelling of body tissue caused by leakage of fluid from the blood vessels; seen in protein deficiency (among other conditions).
15.Limiting amino acid: an essential amino acid that is present in dietary
protein in an insufficient amount, thereby limiting the body's ability to build protein.
16.7 Roles of Protein: 1. Supporting growth and maintenance
