Pathogen | A micro-organism that causes disease |
transmission | passing a pathogen from one individual to another |
correlation | a change in one variable is reflected by a change in another |
cause | there is experimental evidence to prove one factor causes another |
risk | a measure of the probability that damage to health will occur as a result of a given hazard |
lifestyle factors | factors to do with how we live that contribute to suffering as a disease. these are in our power to change |
digestion | physical and chemical breakdown of food |
hydrolysis | splitting up of molecules by adding water to them. enzymes do this |
monomer | one of many small molecules that combine to form a polymer |
polymer | larger molecule made up of repeating smaller molecules |
condensation reaction | when two monosaccharides combine, water is removed. |
glycosidic bond | the bond in a disaccharide |
peptide bond | the bond between 2 amino acids in a protein formed by a condensation reaction |
polypeptide | a long chain of amino acids |
hydrogen bonds | weak bonds between oxygen and hydrogen holding he secondary structure of protein in a coil |
activation energy | minimum amount of energy needed to bring about a reaction |
active site | the region on an enzyme where the substrate fits |
substrate | the molecule on which the enzyme acts |
enzyme-substrate complex | formed when an enzyme and a substrate fit together and form temporary bonds |
denaturation | permenant changes in the structure of a protein - the active site changes shape so substrate no longer fits |
competitive inhibitor | molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme |
non - competitive inhibitor | binds to the enzyme at a position other than the active site |
resolution | the minimum distance apart 2 objects are, so that they look like separate objects under the microscope |
cell fractionation | the process by which cells are broken up and the organelles separated out |
prokaryotic cells | cells that lack a nucleus and any membrane bound organelles |
eukaryotic cells | cells with a nucleus, chromosomes and other membrane bound organelles |
saturated lipids | fatty acids with only C-C single bonds |
unsaturated lipids | fatty acids with one or more c=c double bonds |
hydrophillic | attracted to water |
hydrophobic | attracted to fat |
fluid mosaic model | the structure of a cell surface membrane and its various molecules |
extrinsic proteins | proteins on the surface of the bilayer |
intrinsic proteins | proteins spanning the bilayer |
diffusion | the net movement of molecules or ions from a region of high conc. to a region of low conc. |
