fungi, plants, and animals are multicellular lipids provide the basic structure of biological
eukaryotes (with few unicellular eukaryotes) membranes.
proteins are embedded in the membranes
the main difference between prokaryotic and and provide channels/carriers for the
eukaryotic cells is the existence of transport of ions and nutrients.
organelles, especially the nucleus, in
eukaryotes. Notes:
an organelle is a part of the cell that has a fats and carbohydrates - protein sparer
distinct function; it is surrounded by its own carbohydrates
membrane within the cell. supply energy throughout the body.
protein
10% of glucose
enzyme
information
messenger
transport, etc.
uric acid
waste product of purine metabolis
purine
from protein
monggo - mataas ang purine kaya
hindi pwede sa may arthritis.
urea
from the ammonia
NH
amine group that is a toxic substances.

ammonia is removed in the body in the

CELL MEMBRANE process of deamination and is converted
a semi-permeable membrane surrounding into urea by liver and is excreted by kidney.
the cell separating its internal environment ammonia
from the external environment; comes from protein
permits and/or enhances the absorption of energy
essential nutrients into the cell while stored in the mitochondria of animals;
preventing the diffusion of needed and is stored in the chloroplast in
metabolites plants.
a lipid bilayer that mechanically holds cell glucose
together. is the form of energy for the entire body,
component biomolecules: but ATP in cells.
lipids: phospholipids, cholesterol ribosomes
proteins site for synthesis for proteins.
