Amino Acids - ANSWER Organic compounds that serve as the building blocks
of proteins, containing an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain.
Urea - ANSWER A nitrogenous waste product formed in the liver and excreted
in urine, resulting from the breakdown of proteins.
Creatinine - ANSWER A waste product formed from the normal breakdown of
muscle tissue, excreted in urine.
Carbon Dioxide - ANSWER A waste product of aerobic glucose metabolism.
Disaccharides - ANSWER Sucrose, lactose, and maltose are classified as this.
Peptide Bonds - ANSWER What amino acids are joined together by.
,Cholesterol - ANSWER Used to synthesize steroids.
Glycerol - ANSWER Not a carbohydrate term.
Polysaccharide - ANSWER Starch is classified as this.
Glycolysis - ANSWER The breakdown of glucose to lactic acid.
LDL - ANSWER Delivers cholesterol to non-hepatic tissue.
Saturated Fat - ANSWER Decreasing dietary intake of this is the best method
for decreasing blood cholesterol level.
Lactic Acid - ANSWER Most related to glycolysis.
Anaerobic - ANSWER Glucose is catabolized to lactic acid in the absence of
oxygen.
Krebs Cycle - ANSWER Least related to lactic acid.
Carbohydrate - ANSWER Most descriptive term for glucose.
, Carbohydrates - ANSWER Starches, amylases, and disaccharidases are related
to this.
Sugars - ANSWER Most descriptive of ribose and deoxyribose.
aerobic catabolism of glucose - ANSWER The process that forms the most ATP
from glucose.
amino acid - ANSWER A molecule characterized by an -NH2 group and a -
COOH group.
base sequencing - ANSWER The process that stores the genetic code.
bases of DNA - ANSWER Adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
bases of RNA - ANSWER Adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine.
double-stranded nucleic acid - ANSWER DNA, which is referred to as the
blueprint for life.
transcription - ANSWER The process in which both DNA and mRNA are
involved.
tRNA - ANSWER The molecule that carries individual amino acids from the
cytoplasm to the ribosome for protein assembly.
, adenine pairing - ANSWER Adenine pairs with uracil.
mRNA - ANSWER The molecule that 'gets' the genetic code from DNA.
hepatic encephalopathy - ANSWER A condition that can be caused by
increasing blood levels of ammonia.
gluconeogenesis - ANSWER A process that makes glucose from protein.
gluconeogenesis effect - ANSWER It increases blood glucose levels.
monosaccharides - ANSWER They are stored as glycogen.
Dietary Cellulose - ANSWER Cannot be metabolized but is beneficial because
it provides fiber and bulk.
Lactic Acidosis - ANSWER Develops in response to prolonged anaerobic
catabolism.
Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain Enzymes - ANSWER Are located
within the mitochondria.
Peptide - ANSWER Alanine-leucine-cysteine-phenylalanine-proline-arginine.
