is an example of potential and chemical energy

 

 

Term
the parietal pleura
Definition
is a serous membrane that lines the cavity containing the lungs
Term
enzymes
Definition
are globular proteins that act as biological catalysts
Term

the DNA alpha helix

 

secondary structure

 

[image]

Definition

 

occurs when a sequence of amino acids is linked together by hydrogen bonds 

 

the primary chain forms spirals (@ helices) and sheets (B sheets) 

 

 

 

Term
primary structure[image]
Definition
a sequence of a chain of amino acids forms the polypeptide chain
Term
[image]tetitary structure
Definition

occurs when certain attractions are present between alpha helices and pleated sheets

 

@ helices and/or B sheets are folded up to form a compact globular molecule held together by intramolecular bonds

Term

Quaternary structure

 

[image]

Definition

a protein consisting of more than one amino acid chain

 

 

two or more polypeptide chains each w/ its own tetiary structure, combine to form a functional protein

Term

acidosis

 

 

human pH is between 7.35 and 7.45

Definition
patient w/ a pH of 7.0 is suffering from

Definition

Protein anabolism is the process by which protein are formed from amino acids

 

Protein catabolism is the process by which proteins are broken down to their amino acids.

Term
antiglycolytic
Definition
inhibits the break down of glucose
Term

catabolism of lipids
Term

lysis

 

lytic

Definition
break down/ split open
Term

Definition

atoms combine to form molecules

 

organelle>cells are made up of molecules

 

tissues consist of similar types of cells
