Term
what are the 3 parts of ATP?
Definition
N-base adenine, sugar ribose, chain of 3 phosphates
Term
what does ATP stand for?
Definition
Adenosine Triphosphate
Term
what is ATP moved by?
Definition
carrier/transport proteins
Term
what do proteins use E for in active transport?
Definition
to "push" molecule against the gradient (like a pump)
Term
what is an example of active transport (with a pump)
Definition
sodium-potassium pump - maintains gradient of Na+/K+ ions across membrane
Term
what is the relative concentration of K and Na in animal cells?
Definition
relatively low concentration of Na
relatively high concentration of K
Term
how many K+ and Na+ are moved each time the sodium potassium pump functions and in which direction do they move?
Definition
3 Na out and 2 K in
Term
what kind of organism is yeast?
Definition
a unicellular fungi
Term
what is produced from the aerobic function of yeast?
Definition
CO2 (in bread)
Term
what is produced from the anaerobic function of yeast?
Definition
alcohol (beer)
Term
what processes is E needed for? (three)
Definition
movement
chemical
active transport
Term
what is the primary compound used to release energy?
Definition
glucose
Term
what part of the reaction actually releases energy?
Definition
the creation of new bonds
Term
what do you get E from besides glucose?
Definition
fats and proteins
Term
what does the body turn fats and proteins into for ease of use?
Definition
glucose
Term
where does the body turn fats and proteins into glucose?
Definition
liver
Term
what would happen to the body if all bonds were broken simultaneously?
Definition
body would explode
Term
how does the body break down bonds for energy? (not process)
Definition
methodically, 1 at a time
Term
when bond is broken, what does the E transfer from and to what?
Definition
from glucose to ATP
