Biological Processes and Energy Transformations

Endergonic

Reactions that require energy input to proceed.

Aorta

Largest artery, carries oxygenated blood from heart.

ATP yield from glucose

Maximum of 38 ATP produced from one glucose.

Gametogenesis

Process of forming gametes, includes spermatogenesis and oogenesis.

Pollination syndrome

Adaptations of plants to attract specific pollinators.

Seed dispersal methods

Various strategies plants use to spread seeds.

example of exergonic reaction

cellular respiration

Example of endogonic reaction

photosynthesis

example of energy transfer

the energy transferred to a bowling ball from the bowlers hand. The bowler does work because a force is applied to the bowling ball that makes it move a distance.

example of energy transformation

Sun light changed into heat or batteries

building blocks of polysaccharides

monosaccharides

3 main polysaccharides

triglyceride, phospolipids, and steroids

building blocks of triglyceride

glycerol and 3 fatty acids

building block of phospholipid

glycerol, phosphate group, 2 fatty acid chains

building block of steroid

cholesterol

building blocks of protein

amino acid

building block for nucleic acids

nucleotides

Gametogensis in Males

spermatogenesis

Gametogensis in females

oogenisis

Gametogensis

production of gametes

pollination types

pollination syndrome and seed dispersal

pollination syndrome by what animals

bird, butterflies, bees, bats, moths, beetle, wasps, fly

pollination syndrome

a set of flower characteristics associated with a particular type of pollinator

seed disperal methods

physical and biological

seed dispersal factors

seed and fruit

Exergonic

Reactions that release energy during the process.

Osmosis

Movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.

Facilitated diffusion

Transport of molecules across a membrane via proteins.

Simple diffusion

Movement of molecules from high to low concentration.

Oxygenated blood

delivered from lungs, red, and is on left side

Deoxygenated blood

returning to lungs, blue, and is on the right side

Building blocks of polysaccharides

Monosaccharides, which link to form complex sugars.

Lactase

Digestive enzyme that breaks down lactose.
