Facts
Water is made out of H2O ( 2 Hydrogens & 1 Oxygen)
All plants & animals need this to survive.
Water is a polar molecule which is when one side is negative and the other side is positive.
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.
Oxygen is a partial negative charge and hydrogen is a partial positive charge. Water is unevenly charged.
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.
Carbohydrates - Glucose
Lipids - Glycerol, Fatty Acids,
Proteins - Amino acids, Glycine
Nucleic Acids - Cytosine
The structure of the molecules determines their function.
Facts
Made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO)
Includes simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose
It also includes more complex molecules like starches and cellulose(plant fibers).
Broken down by the body into glucose. Glucose is used as fuel by your body's cells, tissues, and organs.
Each time a glucose
The ratio of 1:2:1
Function
Living things use carbs as their main source of energy. Plants, some animals, and other organisms use carbs for structural purposes.
Simple Sugars
Single sugars like glucose are monosaccharides
Fructose is a simple sugar with the same chemical formula as glucose
-sucrose is a disaccharide, a compound made by joining 2 simple sugars together (using dehydration synthesis)
Complex Carbohydrates
Polysaccharides are large macromolecules formed from monosaccharides
Animals store excess sugar in a polysaccharide called glycogen, known as animal starch
When blood sugar runs low, glycogen is broken down into glucose and then released into the blood
plants have a different polysaccharide known as starch, to store excess sugar.
Plants also make another important polysaccharide called cellulose
The thought & flexible cellulose fibers give plants much of their strength and rigidity.
Relationships
Cows have a symbiotic relationship with enzymes.
Cells burn glucose and store the energy as ATP.
Formulas
Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose + H2O
Glucose + Glucose = Maltose + H2O
Glucose + Galactose = Lactose + H2O
Lipids are composed of a long hydrocarbon chain.
Diverse Group
Fats

Cushions organs
Insulates body
Fatty Acids
Be the same or different in one molecule
Vary in length
Vary in number/location of double bonds
Saturated are Single bonds
Unsaturated is double-bonded.
Fats usually form when glycerol molecules combine with fatty acids
Lipids have an oily fatty acid that interacts strongly with water
3 elements make up fatty acids: carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen
Lipid Bilayer
Gives cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings
The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also protects and supports the cell
Saturated Fats
All carbon bonded to hydrogen
No C=C double bonds
Long, Straight chains
Most animals fats
Solid at room temp
Unsaturated Fats
C=C double bonds in the fatty acids
Plants and fish fats
Vegetable oils
Liquid at room temp
If more double bonds are present it reduces the number of hydrogen atoms in the fatty acids.
Hydrophobic Vs. Hydrophilic
The fatty acid part of the lipid is hydrophobic (tails)
The opposite end of the molecule is hydrophilic (heads)
Hydrophilic is “water-loving” while hydrophobic is “water-hating”
Tails cluster together while the head attracts the water
Fatty acid tails form an oily layer inside the membrane (keeps water out)
Glycerol
Considered as alcohol
Glycerol + fatty acid = lipids
One of the two molecules that make up a monomer known as triglycerides
Phospholipids - 2 fatty acids instead of 3
Facts
Most diverse out of all the biological molecules
Due to the Amino acid, it can be so diverse.
Polymers of molecules called amino acids.
Proteins
Amino acids are compounds with an amino group (-NH2) on one end and a carboxyl group (-COOH) on the other end.
Peptide bonds link amino acids - create polypeptides.
Some proteins control the rate of reactions and regulate cell processes. Others form important cellular structures, while still others transport substances into or out of cells or help to fight disease.
Structure & Function of Proteins
Storage: proteins that serve as reserves of amino acids and metal ions. An example would be egg whites. It can be maintained as growth for organisms.
Transport: proteins that are found in your membrane and move your body materials.
Regulatory: proteins that protect your body's DNA sequence and increase or decrease the production of hormones.
Movement: proteins that allow your muscles to work.
Structural: proteins that are responsible for your cell shape and provide support for many things like bones, hair, and nails.
Enzymes: proteins that make cellular reactions. They can help speed up chemical reactions and metabolism in our bodies. They can also make substances and break others down as well.
Four Levels of protein structure
Primary structure: Amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds (straight chains)
Secondary structure: 3- dimensional folding arrangement of a primary structure into coils and pleats heal together by hydrogen bonds: coils and pleats
Tertiary Structure: Secondary structure bent and folded into a more complex 3-D arrangement of linked polypeptides. It folds due to H-bonds, ionic, and disulfide bridges (S-S) It is also called a subunit.
Quaternary Structure: Composed of 2 or more subunits, Globular in shape, formed in Aqueous environments. An example is enzymes(hemoglobin)
Levels of Organization
Amino acids are assembled into polypeptide chains according to the instructions inside the DNA.
Proteins have four levels of organization/structure.
A protein's primary structure is the sequence of its amino acids.
The secondary structure is the folding or coiling of the polypeptide chain.
The third/tertiary structure is a polypeptide chain's complete, three-dimensional arrangement.
Proteins with more than one chain are said to have a fourth level of structure, describing the way in which the different polypeptides are arranged with respect to each other.
The shape of a protein is maintained by a variety of forces, including ionic and covalent bonds as well as the van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds.
Protein structures are VERY IMPORTANT.
Proteins HAVE to be in the TERTIARY STRUCTURE to be functional.
Proteins are able to be Denatured by something that is highly acidic. This can make the protein lose its structure therefore its function.
What are Nucleic Acids?

Facts
Cellular Respiration produces water, CO2, & ATP.
Cells expel the CO2 into your blood which is then released through our lungs & breath.
Cellular respiration happens in all cells, in all living organisms.
Aerobic Respiration is synonymous with Cellular Respiration.
Difference between breathing and cellular respiration. They are two extremely
different things.
Bacteria have the ability to make ATP under anaerobic conditions (under no
oxygen).
36 ATP molecules can be made from one glucose molecule.
2 ATP molecules are created from fermentation.
After losing its third molecule, ATP becomes ADP, Adenosine diphosphate.
Bacteria, Arachae, Yeast, Muscle Cells (To extent) all perform anaerobic
respiration.
Sulfate is used instead of oxygen in the process of Fermentation.
LEO GER- Lose electrons oxidized, Gain electrons reduced.
Acetaldehyde is the derivative of pyruvate and can accept electrons with the
same easiness pyruvate can.
Photosynthesis makes glucose while cellular respiration breaks it.
Cellular Respiration can also occur by harvesting chemical energy.
All the reactions in your body are metabolism.
Electrons move in steps from carrier to carrier downhill to oxygen, which allows for more control for oxidation and release of energy.

Chemical Equations
C6H12O6+6O2 ---------> 6CO2+6H2O+ATP= cellular respiration
6CO2+6H2O ------------> C6H12O6+6O2= photosynthesis
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.
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
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:
Stoma - Pores
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 …
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.

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.

Facts
Water is made out of H2O ( 2 Hydrogens & 1 Oxygen)
All plants & animals need this to survive.
Water is a polar molecule which is when one side is negative and the other side is positive.
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.
Oxygen is a partial negative charge and hydrogen is a partial positive charge. Water is unevenly charged.
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.
Carbohydrates - Glucose
Lipids - Glycerol, Fatty Acids,
Proteins - Amino acids, Glycine
Nucleic Acids - Cytosine
The structure of the molecules determines their function.
Facts
Made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO)
Includes simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose
It also includes more complex molecules like starches and cellulose(plant fibers).
Broken down by the body into glucose. Glucose is used as fuel by your body's cells, tissues, and organs.
Each time a glucose
The ratio of 1:2:1
Function
Living things use carbs as their main source of energy. Plants, some animals, and other organisms use carbs for structural purposes.
Simple Sugars
Single sugars like glucose are monosaccharides
Fructose is a simple sugar with the same chemical formula as glucose
-sucrose is a disaccharide, a compound made by joining 2 simple sugars together (using dehydration synthesis)
Complex Carbohydrates
Polysaccharides are large macromolecules formed from monosaccharides
Animals store excess sugar in a polysaccharide called glycogen, known as animal starch
When blood sugar runs low, glycogen is broken down into glucose and then released into the blood
plants have a different polysaccharide known as starch, to store excess sugar.
Plants also make another important polysaccharide called cellulose
The thought & flexible cellulose fibers give plants much of their strength and rigidity.
Relationships
Cows have a symbiotic relationship with enzymes.
Cells burn glucose and store the energy as ATP.
Formulas
Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose + H2O
Glucose + Glucose = Maltose + H2O
Glucose + Galactose = Lactose + H2O

3 elements make up fatty acids: carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen
Lipid Bilayer
Gives cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings
The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also protects and supports the cell
Saturated Fats

No C=C double bonds
Long, Straight chains
Most animals fats
Solid at room temp
Unsaturated Fats
C=C double bonds in the fatty acids

If more double bonds are present it reduces the number of hydrogen atoms in the fatty acids.
Hydrophobic Vs. Hydrophilic
The fatty acid part of the lipid is hydrophobic (tails)
The opposite end of the molecule is hydrophilic (heads)
Hydrophilic is “water-loving” while hydrophobic is “water-hating”
Tails cluster together while the head attracts the water
Fatty acid tails form an oily layer inside the membrane (keeps water out)
Glycerol
Considered as alcohol
Glycerol + fatty acid = lipids
One of the two molecules that make up a monomer known as triglycerides
Phospholipids - 2 fatty acids instead of 3
Facts
Most diverse out of all the biological molecules
Due to the Amino acid, it can be so diverse.
Polymers of molecules called amino acids.
Proteins
Amino acids are compounds with an amino group (-NH2) on one end and a carboxyl group (-COOH) on the other end.
Peptide bonds link amino acids - create polypeptides.
Some proteins control the rate of reactions and regulate cell processes. Others form important cellular structures, while still others transport substances into or out of cells or help to fight disease.
Structure & Function of Proteins
Storage: proteins that serve as reserves of amino acids and metal ions. An example would be egg whites. It can be maintained as growth for organisms.
Transport: proteins that are found in your membrane and move your body materials.
Regulatory: proteins that protect your body's DNA sequence and increase or decrease the production of hormones.
Movement: proteins that allow your muscles to work.
Structural: proteins that are responsible for your cell shape and provide support for many things like bones, hair, and nails.
Enzymes: proteins that make cellular reactions. They can help speed up chemical reactions and metabolism in our bodies. They can also make substances and break others down as well.
Four Levels of protein structure
Primary structure: Amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds (straight chains)
Secondary structure: 3- dimensional folding arrangement of a primary structure into coils and pleats heal together by hydrogen bonds: coils and pleats
Tertiary Structure: Secondary structure bent and folded into a more complex 3-D arrangement of linked polypeptides. It folds due to H-bonds, ionic, and disulfide bridges (S-S) It is also called a subunit.
Quaternary Structure: Composed of 2 or more subunits, Globular in shape, formed in Aqueous environments. An example is enzymes(hemoglobin)
Levels of Organization
Amino acids are assembled into polypeptide chains according to the instructions inside the DNA.
Proteins have four levels of organization/structure.
A protein's primary structure is the sequence of its amino acids.
The secondary structure is the folding or coiling of the polypeptide chain.
The third/tertiary structure is a polypeptide chain's complete, three-dimensional arrangement.
Proteins with more than one chain are said to have a fourth level of structure, describing the way in which the different polypeptides are arranged with respect to each other.
The shape of a protein is maintained by a variety of forces, including ionic and covalent bonds as well as the van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds.
Protein structures are VERY IMPORTANT.
Proteins HAVE to be in the TERTIARY STRUCTURE to be functional.
Proteins are able to be Denatured by something that is highly acidic. This can make the protein lose its structure therefore its function.

Chemical Equations
C6H12O6+6O2 ---------> 6CO2+6H2O+ATP= cellular respiration
6CO2+6H2O ------------> C6H12O6+6O2= photosynthesis
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.
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
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:
Stoma - Pores
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.

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 …
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.

Austrian monk(ey) of Christianity
Studied the inheritance of traits in pea plants.
Developed the laws of inheritance.
Mendel’s work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century.
Between 1856 - 1863, Mendel cultivated and tested some 28,000 pea plants.
Found that the plant's offspring retained traits of the parents.
Called the “Father of Genetics”
Particulate Inheritance
Mendel stated that physical traits are inherited as “particles”
Did not know that the “particles” were actually Chromosomes & DNA.
Genetic Terminology
Trait - Any characteristic that can be passed from parent to offspring.
Heredity - passing of traits from parent to offspring.
Genetics - The study of heredity.
Dominant - Uppercase in punnett square
Recessive Lowercase in punnett square
Allele - Alternate form of a gene
Homozygous / Purebred (RR,rr) - Two of the same alleles
Heterozygous / Hybrid (Rr) - One dominant, one recessive gene.
Phenotype - the physical trait of the gene
Gametes - Sperm or egg cell of a human, carries half of an offspring's DNA.
Foil method - First, outside, inside, last (used in punnett square of 4x4)
MONOHYBRID CROSS
’
DIHYBRID CROSSES
A
Incomplete dominance
The traits from each parents mixes together
One allele is not fully dominant
Codominance
Both traits from the parents will be express
Polygenic Traits
A trait that is factor by many alleles
Epistasis
When a trait needs needs another alleles to work
Centromere
Hold 2 chromatids together
Gene
Segment of DNA that codes for a trait
Chromatids
Identical copies
Chromosome Number
All cells in the human body (SOMATIC CELLS) have 46 or 23 pairs of chromosomes
Called the DIPLOID or 2n number.
GAMETES (eggs & sperm) have only 23 chromosomes.
Called the MONOPLOID or 1n number.
Nondisjunction
Chromosomes may fail to separate during meiosis
Resulting gametes may have too few or too many chromosomes
Disorders
Down Syndrome - three 21st chromosomes
Turner Syndrome - single X chromosome
Klinefelter’s Syndrome - XXY chromosomes
💀💀💀 FAILING TO SEPARATE IS CALLED NONDISJUNCTION 💀💀💀
