Respiration Carbohydrates Proteins And Lipids Flashcards
What happens the more active you are
The more energy you need
What is the metabolic rate
The speed at which chemical reactions in cells transfer energy from chemical stores in food
What happens to a higher metabolic rate
The more food you need
What is food fully digested into and what happens to it
Glucose,amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol
They are absorbed into the bloodstream and travel to the cells that need them
Why do we need carbs and fats
For energy
Why do we need protein
For growth and repair of body tissues
What do we still need a small amount of
Vitamins and minerals
What is the suffix of most sugar molecules
Ose glucose and sucrose and lactose and fructose and galactose
What is the suffix of most enzymes
Ase protease and lipase and amylase and Maltese and catalase
What are some carbohydrates and why
Polymers as they’re made form smaller carbohydrate molecules (ie. starch is synthesised from glucose monomers)
What is starch
A chemical energy store
What enzyme breaks down carbohydrates
Carbohydrase enzymes break down carbohydrates
What breaks down starch
Amylase Antunes break down starch
What is protein made from
Polymers made from amino acids
What does the order of amino acid mean
The type of protein that’s made
