Study Notes
- Oxidation of lipids yields the most calories in the body.
- High-density lipoprotein is synthesized and secreted from the liver.
- The nucleus is the heaviest particulate component of the cell.
- The endoplasmic reticulum is the largest particulate of the cytoplasm.
- Exchange of material takes place by diffusion, active transport, and endocytosis.
- Osmosis is opposite to diffusion.
- Surface tension in the intestinal lumen between fat droplets and aqueous medium is decreased by bile salts.
- Cytochrome oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase, and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase are located in the mitochondria.
- The ribosome is the most active site of protein synthesis.
- Fatty acids can be transported into and out of mitochondria through active transport.
- Mitochondrial DNA is circular double-stranded.
- Carrier proteins can transport more than one substance, and exchange one substance for another.
- A lipid bilayer is permeable to urea.
- The Golgi complex forms glycoproteins.
- Viruses differ from prokaryotes and eukaryotes because they have no cells.
- The most important function of DNA in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is to serve as a repository for genetic information.
- Genetic information for living things is stored in DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid.
- Passage of information from DNA to RNA is known as transcription.
- Hydrophilic substances are usually soluble in water or aqueous solutions such as the cell cytoplasm.
- Cell division and the movement of organelles within cells depend on a framework of protein filaments called cytoskeletons.
