| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Metabolism | the series of chemical reactions necessary for the use of the raw material |
| anabolism | reactions that build larger, more complex substances from simpler substances |
| catabolism | reaction that break down larger, more complex substances into simpler substances |
| carbohydrates | organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen |
| disaccharides | double sugars |
| sucrose, maltose, and lactose | disaccharides |
| anaerobic catabolism | glucose is broken down under the absence of oxygen |
| aerobic catabolism | glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen |
| egg yolk, meats, dairy products and oils | lipids |
| lipids most common in the body | triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids |
| amino acid | building blocks of proteins |
| essential amino acids | dietary intake of amino acids |
| nonessential amino acids | amino acids that can be synthesized by the liver |
| A nucleotide is composed of | sugar, a phosphate group, and a base |
| adenine and thymine | base pair |
| cytosine and guanine | base pair |
| RNA bases | adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine |
| transcription | code on DNA is copied by the nRNA |
| translation | code of the mRNA is read by tRNA, which is attached to individual aminoa acids in the cytoplasm |
