BIO 105 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Low-Density Lipoprotein, Lipoprotein, Phosphorylation
Document Summary
Produced by beta cells of the pancreas. Mechanism: auto-immune (immune system is attacking you)= no insulin. Mechanism: cells are resistant to insulin, or there is less insulin. Blood pressure: the force exerted on blood vessels by the blood. Influences by blood volume and how many beats/minute. Bp: >140/90 sustained (when you"re sitting still) Consequences: increased risk of stroke, increased risk of heart attack, and kidney damage. Hdl good cholesterol this can be high. It gos to liver where it is excreted as bile. Ldl bad cholesterol keep under 100 . Having too much leads to plaque build up in arteries makes heart beat faster. The flow of carbon: cycles between living organisms, the atmosphere, bodies of water, and the soil. Co2 levels are increasing increased co2 correlates with increased temperature. Current co2 level is at its highest level in 400,000 years. As temperature increases, the rate of reactions in cellular respiration increases.
