Hemoglobin: general
Dec. 3rd, 2008 08:39 pmSeems like I'm circling all around these blood topics....because they are circular, they interrelate in many ways. ( This one's about HEMOGLOBIN. )
Biochemistry: Vitamins and Minerals
Mar. 10th, 2008 09:37 am1. Vitamins: small, low molecular weight, organic mols required for normal function, most we don't synthesize, classified as fat or water soluble.
Which vitamins are derived from isopentenyl pyrophosphate? Vitamin A (terpene), D, E, K, cholesterol

Biochemistry: Heme and Iron Metabolism
Feb. 25th, 2008 07:07 pm24. Place the following heme degradation products into the correct production sequence:
biliverdin --> bilirubin --> bilirubin diglucuronide -->urobilinogen --> stercobilin

biliverdin --> bilirubin --> bilirubin diglucuronide -->urobilinogen --> stercobilin

What are the inputs and outputs from the amino acid pool?
--Inputs: diet, stomach digestion, pepsinogen, pancreatic enzymes, intestinal processing, absorption, turnover of endogenous proteins
--Outputs: excretion, protein building in fed state, aa catabolism during a fast

Vampirism as a myth may be based in the very real biochemistry of blood. A quick primer. We have hemoglobin in our blood, it is the stuff in red blood cells that carries the oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, and it also brings acids from the tissues to the lungs where acid is breathed off as carbon dioxide.
( about oxygen transport proteins and genes and the effects of defects )
