WATER

Facts

  1. Water is made out of H2O ( 2 Hydrogens & 1 Oxygen)

  2. All plants & animals need this to survive.

  3. Water is a polar molecule which is when one side is negative and the other side is positive.

  4. Its polarity makes water a great solvent or a universal solvent. It is called this because it has the power to dissolve many substances other liquids can't do.

  5. Oxygen is a partial negative charge and hydrogen is a partial positive charge. Water is unevenly charged.

  6. When water is not attracted to something it does not move and when it is attracted to something it can move.

Vocab

Solution - When the substance in the water is fully dissolved and leaves no trace.

Cohesion - Water is attracted to water.

Adhesion - when water is attracted to other substances.

Polar Covalent Bonds

These are chemical bonds that are when the electrons are shared unequally between the molecules.

Nonpolar Covalent Bonds

These are chemical bonds that are when the electrons are shared equally between the molecules

Hydrogen Bonds

Hydrogen bonds are when water bonds to each other like a pool. The water molecules’ oxygen will connect to hydrogen and then create a bond. This can happen in a big area and create a small film at the top. If your density is lower than the film you can stand on it that is why some bugs can stand on water.

LIGHT

THREE STEPS OF ATP

STEP 1. Glycolysis (a remnant of old bacteria) - takes place in cytoplasm, does not

require oxygen. 2 net ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules made from

conversion. 1 ATP molecule required to convert to pyruvate. Can send net ATP

molecules and NADH molecules to mitochondria.

**STEP 2.**Krebs cycle( takes place in mitochondria): Pyruvate→

acetyl-CoA--->oxidized----> 2 FADH² molecules & 6 NADH molecules.

2 NADH pre krebs cycle

STEP 3. Electron transport chain (takes place in mitochondria)- NADH molecules and

FADH2 push out hydrogen ions to produce a gradient on one side of the

membrane. NADH and FADH2 fall down after pushing out ions due to oxygen

pulling it. Hydrogen bonds with the oxygen pulling it down, creating water.

Harvesting Chemical Energy

Stored Energy

  • Stored energy is found within the organic molecules in your body. (Carbs, Proteins, Fats)

  • When harvesting stored energy, heterotrophs (animals and all alike), have to eat food in order to gain organic molecules for the body to pick glucose off of.

  • Heterotrophs digest these organic molecules so that they can gain materials to make ATP, as well as fuel for energy.

  • These fuels are burned in a step-by-step enzymatic reaction.

  • The goal of harvesting chemical energy is the catabolism of glucose, the process of breaking up more and more glucose molecules to make ATP.

Energy by Fuel

  • Catabolic reaction.

  • Digesting larger molecules into smaller molecules.

  • This breaks bonds between atoms and moves electrons from one molecule to another molecule.

  • As these electrons move between the molecules, they are carrying energy with them.

  • This energy is stored in another bond, which is then released as heat or harvested to make ATP.

Redox Reactions & Moving Electrons

  • Electrons cannot move alone in cells.

  • Electrons in cellular respiration can only be moved when attached to Hydrogen.

  • If a Hydrogen atom is moved, then an electron is moved with it.

  • In respiration, electron carriers move the electrons by shuttling H atoms around.

  • When NAD+ and FAD+2 turn into NADH and FADH2, it means they have been reduced.

  • Redox reactions in cellular respiration fuel everything.

  • Redox reactions release energy as organic molecules are broken down.

  • Redox reactions break the bonds between Carbon - Carbon molecules.

  • Redox reactions strip the electrons from Carbon - Hydrogen bonds by removing the Hydrogen atom.

  • When glucose turns into carbon dioxide, (C6H12O6 → CO2), it means that the fuel has been oxidized.

  • As electrons are attracted to more electronegative atoms, the electrons in the hydrogen atoms taken from the glucose molecule cause the hydrogen atoms to be drawn to oxygen, (the most electronegative atom in biological molecules).

  • This, then creates water molecules. When oxygen atoms turn into water molecules, it means that oxygen has been reduced.

Oxidation & Reduction

  • Oxidation is a loss of electrons.

  • A removal of the Hydrogen ion.

  • An oxygen atom takes its place.

  • Oxidation releases energy.

  • This process is exergonic.

  • Reduction is a gain of electrons.

  • It is the adding of a hydrogen atom.

  • This process removes oxygen from the equation.

  • This process ends up storing energy.

  • This process is endergonic.

STAGES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION

STAGE 1: GLYCOLYSIS

Facts

  • Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm/cytosol of the cell. It does not require oxygen to progress.

  • There are 10 reactions within glycolysis.

  • Glycolysis produces two molecules of ATP energy, as well as 2 NADH electron carriers.

  • Glycolysis consumes/burns two molecules of ATP.

  • Glycolysis has a net production of two molecules of ATP, and two electron carriers, NADH.

How It Works

  • Glycolysis converts one molecule of glucose, with six atoms of carbon, to two molecules of pyruvate, with three atoms of carbon.

  • Glucose is first converted into a molecule called fructose-1, 6bP, or fructose-1, 6 Bisphosphate. Fructose-1, 6bP is a substrate to the enzyme PFK,

  • The enzyme PFK converts the molecule into 2 molecules that have 3 atoms of carbon and one phosphate. These molecules can either be called DHAP or G3P.

  • The phosphate is then taken away from the molecule and added to ADP to create ATP, thus giving the 2 net ATP.

  • With the removal of the phosphate from DHAP/G3P, the molecule is converted into a pyruvate molecule.

STAGE 2: PYRUVATE OXIDATION

Facts

  • After glucose is turned into two pyruvates, the pyruvate molecules go into the mitochondria and enter the mitochondrial matrix.

  • The oxidation process progresses in three steps.

  • The process releases 2 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2).

  • The process reduces 2 NAD molecules into 2 NADH molecules.

  • The process produces 2 acetyl CoA, as well as 2 compounds sugars, NADH, and carbon dioxide as byproducts.

STAGE 3: KREBS / CITRIC ACID CYCLE

Facts

  • The Krebs Cycle is found in the mitochondrial matrix.

  • It follows an 8-step pathway, each step catalyzed by a specific enzyme.

  • The Krebs Cycle can be described as a stepwise process of catabolism of 6C citrate molecules.

  • The net products of the Krebs cycle are 2 ATP molecules, 8 NADH, and 2 FADH2 molecules.

Importance

  • The Krebs cycle produces large quantities of electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2 which go to the Electron Transport Chain.

STAGE 4: ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN

Facts

  • The phosphorylation of ADP within ATP Synthase creates ATP.

  • Once the hydrogen ions are on the high concentration side of a membrane, they fall back through the protein tunnel (ATP Synthase) and become ATP.

  • Electron carriers pass electrons & H+ to ETC

  • H cleaves off NADH & FADH2

  • Electrons are stripped from H atoms → H+ (protons)

  • Electrons passed from one electron carrier to the next in the mitochondrial membrane. (ETC)

  • Flowing electrons = energy to do work.

  • Transport proteins in membrane pump H+ (protons) across the inner membrane to intermembrane space.

  • The electrons from glycolysis and the krebs cycle are doing all the work to move the hydrogen ions into ATP.

  • The negative charge from the oxygen molecule pulls the electrons in the membrane down to form a water molecule.

  • Where ATP is made by falling through ATP synthase is called oxidative phosphorylation.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Photosynthesis

  • Light energy is described as photons)

  • Anabolic (small molecules combined)

  • Endergonic (stores energy)

  • Carbon dioxide (Co2) requires a process that uses light energy (photons) and water (H20) to produce organic macromolecules. (glucose)

PHOTOSYNTHESIS STEPS

Light reaction:

Light and water enter the Thylakoid Stroma.

Light splits the water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen. The oxygen created by the light reaction is a byproduct of photosynthesis and is forced out of the cell.

Interphase

Dna replication & cell growth

Prophase

Chromosomes become visible, the nucleolus disappears, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and spindle fibers form in the cytoplasm.

Metaphase

Chromosomes line up in the middle, the nucleus disassembles, the spindle fibers pull and push the chromosomes to create a straight line.

Anaphase

molecules and NADH molecules to mitochondria.

**STEP 2.**Krebs cycle( takes place in mitochondria): Pyruvate→

acetyl-CoA--->oxidized----> 2 FADH² molecules & 6 NADH molecules.

2 NADH pre krebs cycle

STEP 3. Electron transport chain (takes place in mitochondria)- NADH molecules and

FADH2 push out hydrogen ions to produce a gradient on one side of the

membrane. NADH and FADH2 fall down after pushing out ions due to oxygen

pulling it. Hydrogen bonds with the oxygen pulling it down, creating water.

Harvesting Chemical Energy

Stored Energy

  • Stored energy is found within the organic molecules in your body. (Carbs, Proteins, Fats)

  • When harvesting stored energy, heterotrophs (animals and all alike), have to eat food in order to gain organic molecules for the body to pick glucose off of.

  • Heterotrophs digest these organic molecules so that they can gain materials to make ATP, as well as fuel for energy.

  • These fuels are burned in a step-by-step enzymatic reaction.

  • The goal of harvesting chemical energy is the catabolism of glucose, the process of breaking up more and more glucose molecules to make ATP.

Energy by Fuel

  • Catabolic reaction.

  • Digesting larger molecules into smaller molecules.

  • This breaks bonds between atoms and moves electrons from one molecule to another molecule.

  • As these electrons move between the molecules, they are carrying energy with them.

  • This energy is stored in another bond, which is then released as heat or harvested to make ATP.

Redox Reactions & Moving Electrons

  • Electrons cannot move alone in cells.

  • Electrons in cellular respiration can only be moved when attached to Hydrogen.

  • If a Hydrogen atom is moved, then an electron is moved with it.

  • In respiration, electron carriers move the electrons by shuttling H atoms around.

  • When NAD+ and FAD+2 turn into NADH and FADH2, it means they have been reduced.

  • Redox reactions in cellular respiration fuel everything.

  • Redox reactions release energy as organic molecules are broken down.

  • Redox reactions break the bonds between Carbon - Carbon molecules.

  • Redox reactions strip the electrons from Carbon - Hydrogen bonds by removing the Hydrogen atom.

  • When glucose turns into carbon dioxide, (C6H12O6 → CO2), it means that the fuel has been oxidized.

  • As electrons are attracted to more electronegative atoms, the electrons in the hydrogen atoms taken from the glucose molecule cause the hydrogen atoms to be drawn to oxygen, (the most electronegative atom in biological molecules).

  • This, then creates water molecules. When oxygen atoms turn into water molecules, it means that oxygen has been reduced.

Oxidation & Reduction

  • Oxidation is a loss of electrons.

  • A removal of the Hydrogen ion.

  • An oxygen atom takes its place.

  • Oxidation releases energy.

  • This process is exergonic.

  • Reduction is a gain of electrons.

  • It is the adding of a hydrogen atom.

  • This process removes oxygen from the equation.

  • This process ends up storing energy.

  • This process is endergonic.

STAGES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION

STAGE 1: GLYCOLYSIS

Facts

  • Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm/cytosol of the cell. It does not require oxygen to progress.

  • There are 10 reactions within glycolysis.

  • Glycolysis produces two molecules of ATP energy, as well as 2 NADH electron carriers.

  • Glycolysis consumes/burns two molecules of ATP.

  • Glycolysis has a net production of two molecules of ATP, and two electron carriers, NADH.

How It Works

  • Glycolysis converts one molecule of glucose, with six atoms of carbon, to two molecules of pyruvate, with three atoms of carbon.

  • Glucose is first converted into a molecule called fructose-1, 6bP, or fructose-1, 6 Bisphosphate. Fructose-1, 6bP is a substrate to the enzyme PFK,

  • The enzyme PFK converts the molecule into 2 molecules that have 3 atoms of carbon and one phosphate. These molecules can either be called DHAP or G3P.

  • The phosphate is then taken away from the molecule and added to ADP to create ATP, thus giving the 2 net ATP.

  • With the removal of the phosphate from DHAP/G3P, the molecule is converted into a pyruvate molecule.

STAGE 2: PYRUVATE OXIDATION

Facts

  • After glucose is turned into two pyruvates, the pyruvate molecules go into the mitochondria and enter the mitochondrial matrix.

  • The oxidation process progresses in three steps.

  • The process releases 2 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2).

  • The process reduces 2 NAD molecules into 2 NADH molecules.

  • The process produces 2 acetyl CoA, as well as 2 compounds sugars, NADH, and carbon dioxide as byproducts.

STAGE 3: KREBS / CITRIC ACID CYCLE

Facts

  • The Krebs Cycle is found in the mitochondrial matrix.

  • It follows an 8-step pathway, each step catalyzed by a specific enzyme.

  • The Krebs Cycle can be described as a stepwise process of catabolism of 6C citrate molecules.

  • The net products of the Krebs cycle are 2 ATP molecules, 8 NADH, and 2 FADH2 molecules.

Importance

  • The Krebs cycle produces large quantities of electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2 which go to the Electron Transport Chain.

STAGE 4: ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN

Facts

  • The phosphorylation of ADP within ATP Synthase creates ATP.

  • Once the hydrogen ions are on the high concentration side of a membrane, they fall back through the protein tunnel (ATP Synthase) and become ATP.

  • Electron carriers pass electrons & H+ to ETC

  • H cleaves off NADH & FADH2

  • Electrons are stripped from H atoms → H+ (protons)

  • Electrons passed from one electron carrier to the next in the mitochondrial membrane. (ETC)

  • Flowing electrons = energy to do work.

  • Transport proteins in membrane pump H+ (protons) across the inner membrane to intermembrane space.

  • The electrons from glycolysis and the krebs cycle are doing all the work to move the hydrogen ions into ATP.

  • The negative charge from the oxygen molecule pulls the electrons in the membrane down to form a water molecule.

  • Where ATP is made by falling through ATP synthase is called oxidative phosphorylation.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Photosynthesis

  • Light energy is described as photons)

  • Anabolic (small molecules combined)

  • Endergonic (stores energy)

  • Carbon dioxide (Co2) requires a process that uses light energy (photons) and water (H20) to produce organic macromolecules. (glucose)

  • Glucose is recognized as an organic compound because of the element Carbon within its chemical formula.

Plants

  • Autotrophs - produce their own food (glucose)

  • Process called photosynthesis

  • Mainly occurs in the leaves:

  1. Stoma - Pores

  2. Mesophyll cells

Stomata (Stoma)

  • Pores in a plant’s cuticle through which water vapor and gases (CO2 & O2) are exchanged between the plant and atmosphere.

  • Carbon Dioxide and other gases pass through the guard cells of the Stoma.

  • Stomata is found on the underside of the leaves

Mesophyll Cell of Leaf

  • Photosynthesis occurs in these cells.

  • Includes: Cell Wall, Nucleus, Central Vacuole, Chloroplast.

  • Chloroplasts are filled with a pigment called chlorophyll.

Chloroplast

  • Organelle where photosynthesis takes place.

  • Thylakoid stacks are connected together within the chloroplast.

  • Includes: Inner Membrane, Outer Membrane, Stoma, Thylakoid, Granum.

  • Has a double membrane like the mitochondria.

Concentration gradient is made up of hydrogen ions in the chloroplast membrane.

The Hydrogen ions are going to fall through ATP synthase to produce ATP.

THYLAKOID

  • Includes: Thylakoid Membrane, Thylakoid Space. Stacked inside Granum. Grana makes up the inner membrane.

CHLOROPHYLL MOLECULES

  • Chlorophyll molecules are located in the thylakoid membranes.

  • Chlorophyll have Mg+ (MAGNESIUM) in the center

  • Chlorophyll pigments harvest energy (photons) by absorbing certain wavelengths (blue-420 nm and red 660nm are most important)

  • Plants are green because the green wavelengths are reflected and not absorbed.

  • Chlorophyll has an alcohol attached to it.

Wavelengths of Light (nm)

Short wave has more energy than a long wave, which has less energy.

Absorption of Light by Chlorophyll

  • Chlorophyll absorbs blue-violet and red light the best.

  • With green light, chlorophyll does not absorb, which is why it is reflected back.

Falls Colors

  • In addition to the chlorophyll pigments, there are other pigments present.

  • During the fall, the green chlorophyll pigments are greatly reduced revealing the other pigments.

  • Carotenoids are pigments that are either red, orange, or yellow.

Redox Reaction

  • The transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another

  • There are two types of redox reactions.

  • Oxidation is the loss of electrons.

  • Reduction is the gain of electrons.

Oxidation Reaction

  • The loss of electrons from a substance of the gain of oxygen.

  • In the chemical formula of photosynthesis, the oxidation process is found in the reactants of CO2, and 6 oxygen molecules.

Reduction Reaction

  • The gain of electrons to a substance or the loss of oxygen.

  • In the photosynthesis chemical equation, reduction can be seen in …

PHOTOSYNTHESIS STEPS

Light reaction:

Light and water enter the Thylakoid Stroma.

Light splits the water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen. The oxygen created by the light reaction is a byproduct of photosynthesis and is forced out of the cell.

The oxygen from the CO2 that enters the calvin cycle, then makes G3P or glucose.

Calvin cycle:

The calvin cycle has three phases.

2 spins of the Calvin Cycle create ATP.

FIXATION, REDUCTION, REGENERATION

CELL CYCLE

Facts

  • 90% of the cell cycle is spent in the interphase. The other 10% is spent during mitosis.

  • CELL PLATES ARE ONLY FOUND IN PLANT CELLS.

  • In animal cells, the cell pinches in and creates a cleavage furrow

Definition

  • Tumor - Hard lump of thousands of cancer cells condensed together.

  • Phagocytes - White blood cells

s

Interphase

Dna replication & cell growth

Prophase

Chromosomes become visible, the nucleolus disappears, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and spindle fibers form in the cytoplasm.

Metaphase

Chromosomes line up in the middle, the nucleus disassembles, the spindle fibers pull and push the chromosomes to create a straight line.

Anaphase

Chromosomes move away, towards the poles of the cells by spindles.

Telophase

Chromosomes are on opposite ends of the cell, this causes two new nuclei to form. The spindle fibers disintegrate due to the presence of it not needed.

Cytokinesis

When the cytoplasm splits and create two genetically identical daughter cells.
