when does this reaction occur?
\n This reaction can only occur in the presence of large amounts of oxygen, such as when a plant is cut and its cells are exposed to the air. This is not rotting; this is the fruit attempting to defend itself from bacteria
substrate.
The substance with which the enzyme reacts is called what?
Notice that the substrates in a reaction are the same as the ____. We just use a different name for them when an \n enzyme is involved. Once an enzyme binds (come together) with the substrate, the enzyme changes shape to either break a substrate into two smaller products or to combine t
reactants
\n Remember that proteins have a folded, 3-D shape, called what?
tertiary structure.
Unfolding the protein in this manner is called what?
denaturing
pepsin
For example, ________ is an enzyme found in the stomach that cuts apart long strands of protein found in meat.
Enzymes
________ are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts.
Catalase
________ will break down the hydrogen and peroxide into water and oxygen.
oxygen
The ________ makes bubbles in the solution.
active site
The area in which the enzyme binds with the substrate is called the ________.
hydrogen peroxide
Most bacteria don't produce catalase, so they can't defend themselves against ________.
Salivary amylase
________ is specific for starch (substrate) and begins to breakdown starches into sugar as you chew the food.
enzyme-substrate
When the enzyme and substrate come together, they form the ___________ complex. (The enzyme can only form this complex with a specific substrate, or sometimes with a few similar substrates)
Catalase
________ is also produced in high quantities in the blood, where oxygen- rich red blood cells produce a lot of hydrogen peroxide.
the substance with which the enzyme reacts is \n called what?
the substrate. (Enzymes bind (come together) with the substrate at \n specific regions and only with a particular substrate)
Adding more enzyme will ______ the speed \n of the reaction and lessening the amount of enzyme will _____ the reaction down.
increase; slow
Cells that use oxygen to make energy build up ___ __, a chemical which can be toxic and even fatal to the cells if produced in excess
hydrogen peroxide
All Eukaryotes (including all plants and animals) use oxygen, so they all must also produce _____. \n
catalase
Most bacteria don't produce _, so they can't defend themselves against ____. It makes an excellent anti-bacterial cleaner for your cuts
catalase;hydrogen peroxide
You will be using _____ as a source of catalase \n and measuring the amount of bubbles produced when you mix it with hydrogen peroxide
potato juice
what are the two types of cells in most eukaryotic organisms
somatic cells and gametes
___ make up the majority of the body parts such as skin, muscles, and organs
somatic cells
gamete
specialized cell designed to join another gamete during sexual reproduction
in animals and plants, gametes are
sperm and egg cells
what phase of the cell cycle is when cells do not divide
interphase
what are the different parts of the interphase phase
G1-the cell grows and gathers energy nutrients S-cell duplicated each chromosome G2-the cell grows a little more
cells can use how many phases to divide? what are they
mitosis and meiosis
mitosis
the nucleus and duplicated chromosomes of one cell are divided evenly between two new cells (clone of og cell)
this process is used to generate new somatic cells and how we grow
mitosis
an adult does not have larger cells than a child, the adult has what:
the adult has more cells
what are the 5 phases of mitosis
1-prophase(chromosomes condense) 2-prometaphase(nuclear envelope disappears) 3-metaphase(chromosomes line up) 4-anaphase(sister chromatids separate) 5-telophase(nucleus envelope reforms)
what phase of mitosis is shown in the picture
prophase
what phase of mitosis is shown in the picture
prometaphase
what phase of mitosis is shown in the picture
metaphase
what phase of mitosis is shown in the picture
anaphase
what phase of mitosis is shown in the picture
telophase
cytogenesis is an event that happens during with phases?
anaphase or telophase (In the first Fish picture, you can see the end of cytokinesis, yet the nuclei are just barely reforming (early telophase). In the \n second, cytokinesis has just barely begun, yet the nuclei have almost finished reforming (late telophase). \n To repeat the note above, cytokinesis is an event that happens during anaphase or telophase. It isn't a phase of mitosis. It isn't a phase that follows mitosis. It is only an event and does not define any phase of mitosis
sexual reproduction
combining information from two different organisms to create a new, unique member of the species
organisms undergo “what” to halve the amount of DNA prior to sexual reproduction?
meiosis
____ chromosomes contain the same genes(such as hair color) but can contain different varieties of each gene(blonde vs black)
homologous
Example - You have 46 chromosomes. You received 23 from your mother and the same 23 from your father (though with different varieties on each, such as black and blonde hair color). You have \n 23 x 2 = 46. Each pair counts as a ____
homologous pair
diploid
a cell that had two of each chromosome
haploid
a cell that only has one of each chromosome
meiosis is the process of doing what?
taking diploid cells and creating haploid cells (If you combine two haploid cells (one from each parent), you now have a diploid cell again. Example- Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 x 2). During meiosis, we cut that number to 23 (23 x1). During fertilization (egg meets sperm), the baby gets 23 + 23 = 46. The new human has 46 justlike all humans. If we hadn't done meiosis, the baby would have gotten 46 + 46 = 92!)
in animals, the process of ___ is also how we create gametes(sperm and egg)
meiosis
the purpose of meiosis
is to make haploid cells from diploid cells.
(3)_ usually separate meiosis (becoming haploid) from making gametes (performing sexual reproduction)
plants,fungi, and protists
To engage in meiosis, a cell must first pass through _____ as normal (including replicating the DNA).
Interphase
in meiosis, a cell engages in two rounds of nuclear division called :
Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
meiosis 1 steps
Prophase 1: Homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through crossing over.Prometaphase 1: nuclear envelope dissapearsMetaphase 1: Homologous pairs line up at the center of the cell.Anaphase 1: Homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.Telophase 1: Two haploid daughter cells are formed, each with one chromosome from each homologous pair.Meiosis 1 reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid.Meiosis 1 is preceded by interphase, during which DNA is replicated.
_____ is identical to a second round of mitosis. The cell goes through prophase II, prometaphase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II
Meiosis II
