Document Summary

Transmembrane proteins would possess a hydrophobic region in the cell interior and a hydrophilic region in the extracellular space. Inactivation of a cell-surface receptor depends on both the binding affinity of the receptor and concentration of ligand surrounding the cell. Large non polar inhibitors = likely bind to receptors and interfere with receptor activation or signal-receptor binding. Another name for acetyl-coa synthesis is pyruvate oxidation. The chemical bonds of carbohydrates and lipids have high potential energy because many of these bonds are c c and c h bonds. Chemical rules & physical laws apply to both living & non-living org first law of thermodynamics: energy x created or destroyed -> constant total energy in universe. Cells are the simplest self-replicating entity that can exist as an independent unit of life. Cells vary in size & shape -> reflects func e. g. protein fibres of cytoskeleton - provide internal support to maintain cell shape.
