helps start and speed up a reaction by lowering activation energy
35
New cards
enzyme
a protein that acts as a catalyst
36
New cards
active site
a specially shaped area in an enzyme that fits around the substrate
37
New cards
substrate
a molecule that the enzyme works on
38
New cards
product
the substrate after its been worked on
39
New cards
describe how an enzyme works
the substrate fits into the active site and the enzyme works as a catalyst to start a reaction with the substrate. the substrate is then turned into a product.
40
New cards
denaturing
when a protein or enzyme unravel
41
New cards
what causes denaturing?
temperature, activators, pH level, and inhibitors
42
New cards
photosynthesis
6CO2+6H2O=C6H12O6+6O2
43
New cards
where does the energy from photosynthesis come from
sunlight
44
New cards
what plant pigments are involved in photosynthesis
chlorophyll
45
New cards
why is chlorophyll green
chlorophyll absorbs mainly red and blue light and reflects green light
46
New cards
how does energy change as wavelength changes
* wavelength goes up, energy goes down * wavelength goes down, energy goes up
47
New cards
where does photosynthesis take place
chloroplast
48
New cards
2 stages of photosynthesis
* light dependent reactions * calvin cycle
49
New cards
where do the light dependent reactions occur
thylakoid
50
New cards
where does the calvin cycle occur
stroma
51
New cards
what happens to water molecules in the light reactions
h2o is split into o2 and h+ ions
52
New cards
what is the waste product of photosynthesis
oxygen
53
New cards
what 2 products of the light reaction are used in the calvin cycle
* ATP * NADPH
54
New cards
what happens to carbon dioxide in the calvin cycle
they are combined with each other and with the electrons and h+ ions from NADPH to form glucose (C6H12O6)
55
New cards
how do plant cells store the sugar produced in photosynthesis
as starch
56
New cards
autotrophs
organisms that make their own food
57
New cards
krebs cycle
occurs in mitochondrion
58
New cards
anerobic
doesn’t require oxygen
59
New cards
aerobic
requires oxygen
60
New cards
energy
the ability to do work
61
New cards
ATP
energy storing molecule
62
New cards
sunlight
starts photosynthesis
63
New cards
light independent reaction
doesn’t require sunlight
64
New cards
chlorophyll
traps sunlight
65
New cards
alcoholic fermentation
* converts pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol * occurs in yeast and bacteric

71
New cards
where does glycosis occur
outside the mitochondria
72
New cards
what happens to pyruvic acid during krebs cycle
it becomes 3 carbon molecules
* occurs in mitochondrial matrix
73
New cards
what are the 2 hydrogen carrying molecules made in the krebs cycle
* NADH+ * FADH2
74

0 FADH2
75
New cards
how many hydrogen carrying molecules are produced in krebs cycle

1 FADH2
76
New cards
how many hydrogen carrying molecules are produced in ETC
4 NADH
1 FADH2
77
New cards
where does ETC occur
inner mitochondrial membrane
78
New cards
what doe sthe carrier proteins transport across the inner mitochondrial membrane
H+
79
New cards
what energy molcules does the ETC form
ATP
80
New cards
what atom accepts the H+ at the end of the ETC
oxygen
81
New cards
why is ETC aerobic
it used oxygen to accept the H+ and make H2O
82
New cards
volume formula
