|
|
What happens once a protein is denatured?
|
It is deactivated. It can be caused by heat, pH and concentrations.
|
|
|
How would your body compensate if you didnt have enough protein?
|
First you will burn up all fat and then digest muscles.
|
|
|
How would your body compensate if you took in too much protein?
|
First you would store it as fat, then it would be eliminated. It is only used minimally for muscle growth and repair if you are exercising.
|
|
|
How would your body compensate if you didn't take in enough fat?
|
You would burn off all fat supplies and then take from glycogen reserves.
|
|
|
How would your body compensate if you took in too much fat?
|
It would store it in adipose sites.
|
|
|
How would your body compensate if you didnt take in enough carbs?
|
It would use fats and proteins.

|
What is the function of chromosomes to carry _____ from _________ to __________.
|
traits from parents to children
|
|
|
What is a catalyst?
|
An enzyme that speeds up a reactuib,
|
|
|
What is an antigen?
|
Glycoproteins/proteins that are on RBC membrane. They generate WBC's to produce antibodies.
|
|
|
What is an antibody?
|
Aglutinates with foreign blood. It reacts with an antigen and the antibody and neutralizes it.
|
|
|
If a person is blood type A, what kinds of antigens are on the RBC's? What sort of antibodies are circulating in the plasma?
|
Antigen for A.
Antibodies against B. |
|
|
Why is person with blood type AB considered the universal receiver?
|
They have antigens and nothing will seem foreign. (No antibodies)
|
|
|
Why is a person with blood type O considered the universal donor?
|
No antigens so it wont be foreign to anyone. (Antibodies for everything)
