bio unit 2 extra stuff

Lipids

Used for the G3P in glycolysis and the Acetyl CoA

Monomer

Building blocks, small molecules that can string together

Monosaccharide

Monomers of carbs, look like a hexagon

Polymer

Built of many monomers

Polysaccharide

Many monosaccharides covalently joined together

Proteins

Used in for pyruvate in glycolysis, used in acetylene CoA and the citric acid cycle

Carbohydrates

A class of macromolecules, that contain C,H, and O (Used for the glucose in glycolysis)

Disaccharide

Two monosaccharides joined together, two hexagons connected

Entropy

A measure of disorder, increasing disorder

What happens to starch when it is hydrolyzed?

The polymer starch begins to break down by an enzymes in the saliva causing it to become glucose (a monosaccharide)

Chlorophyll is green and carotenoids are orangish. Do you know why the leaves of many plants change color in the fall?

When the plants are getting ready to drop their leaves, they first break down their chlorophyll, because chlorophyll has Mg and N (very valuable then recycle the elements and use them to make new bright green leaves in the spring

In light reactions what happens?

Light energy excites the electrons in chlorophyll, excited electrons are then passes along electron transport chain, whcih then pumps H+ across the membrane, the H+ become concentrated within a compartment.

Do light reactions increase or decrease order?

Increase

What happens to H+ when they try to cross the a membrane?

Won’t happen, because the hydrophobic tails repel the H+ ions

Is the ETC use in light reactions or the Calvin cycle?

Light reactions

Which stage of cellular respiration is the electron transport chain used?

Oxidative phosphorylation
