UNIT 1: Biochemistry

Biochemistry involves the study of various molecular components and their roles in living organisms. It encompasses different types of transport mechanisms such as active and passive transport.

UNIT 1: Biochemistry

Type in the name of the company you are going to have an interview with.

Types of Transport

Active Transport
Receptor-Assisted Endocytosis
2. Endocytosis

2. Pinocytosis

1. Phagocytosis

1. Exocytosis
Secondary Active Transport

Antiport

Symport

Primary Active Transport
Subtopic
Passive Transport
Osmosis
Facilitated Diffusion

Carrier Protein

Channel Protein

Simple Diffusion

Type of Protein: Enzymes

Enzyme Regulation
Allosteric Inhibitor and Activator
Effects on Enzyme Activity
3. pH
2. Temperature
1. Saturation
How enzymes work
Induced Fit Model (correct)
Lock and Key Hypothesis (incorrect)
Function of Enzymes:
-proteins made by the body speed up chemical reactions - an reaction would happen too slowly and not survive without an enzyme

Functional Groups

Sulfhydryl
Phosphate
Amine
Carboxyl
Ketone
Aldehyde
Hydroxyl
Methyl

Macromolecules

Nucleic Acid
RNA Nucleotide
DNA Nucleotide
Nucleotides and Purine and Pyrimidines
Function of Nucleic Acid:

-informational nucleotides -used by all organisms to produce identical copies of themselves which means that they can reproduce instruction code of organism is stored along the strands of DNA

Proteins
Structure pf Protein

Primary, Secondary, and Quaternary structure in Proteins

Peptide Bond
Monomers of Protein

Glycine

Amino Acid

Function of Proteins:

-the most complex molecule in living organisms -used as structural building blocks and functional molecules and are involves in almost everything that cells do

Lipids
Steroids

Testosterone

Cholesterol

Phospholipids

Liposomes

Micelle

Structure of a Phospholipid

Phospholipid Bilayer

Triglycerides
Types of Fatty acids

Saturated and unsaturated fatty acid

Cis Vs Trans

Function of Lipids:

-Storing energy: change carbs into fat and store the fat molecules as droplets in fat tissues -Insulation: A layer of fat under the skin -Building: membranes (phospholipid layers) and other cell parts -Chemical signalling molecules (hormones)

Carbohydrates
Polysaccharides

Cellulose

Starch

1. Amylose

2. Amylopectin

Disaccharides

Maltose

Lactose

Sucrose

Monosaccharides

B-glucose

Deoxyribose

α-glucose

Ribose

B-galactose

Fructose

Function of Carbohydrates:

-Get ATP -structure: part of cell wall and form part of DNA and RNA backbone -ID markers and communicators: in cell membrane linked to proteins and lipids
