Cellular Biology and Energetics Review

Flashcards based on lecture notes covering cellular structures, membranes, energy, enzymes, cellular respiration, and photosynthesis.

What main components are listed under Cellular Structures in the lecture notes?

Nucleus and ribosomes, mitochondria and chloroplasts, endomembrane system, and cell walls, junctions.

What processes and concepts are categorized under Membranes?

Diffusion, osmosis/water balance (tonicity), passive vs active transport, and exocytosis and endocytosis.

Which topics are listed under Energy in the notes?

Conservation, chem rxns (endergonic/exergonic), and ATP.

What key mechanisms and components are covered under Enzymes?

Activation energy / catalysis and active sites / substrates.

What overview, reactions, and stages are listed for Cellular Respiration?

Overview, Redox reactions, stages (glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation/ETC).

How is Photosynthesis described relative to cellular respiration in the notes?

It is described as the “inverse” of cellular respiration.
