Energy + Reactions
Average kinetic energy of a system
The energy required to set off a chemical reaction
What is Activation Energy?
The chemical process that converts sugars into ATP
What is Cellular Respiration?
The organelles in which photosynthesis occurs
What are Chloroplasts?
The substance that enzymes work on
What are Substrates?
Potential energy released in chemical reactions
What is Chemical Energy?
What are Cofactors?
A watered-down, more basic version of Cellular Respiration that is anaerobic. Processes may create lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts
What is Fermentation?
Second part of Photosynthesis
What is Calvin Cycle/Dark Cycle?
In Redox Reactions, the gain of electrons
What is Reduction?
This part of the ATP molecule is directly related to energy release
The substances bind to enzyme to inhibit its function all-over
The first step of Cellular Respiration. Turns Glucose into ATP and Pyruvate
What is Glycolysis?
The enzyme used to grab CO2 during Citric Acid Cycle
What is Rubisco?
The final product of photosynthesis (HINT: NOT Glucose!)
What is G3P (Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate)?
All the chemical reactions in an organism
What is Metabolism?
What is Allosteric Regulation?
The second step of Cellular Respiration
What is Citric Acid Cycle or Kreb's Cycle?
Alternative to Linear Electron Flow (in light reaction)
What is Cyclic Electron Flow?
Molecules that receives electrons and carry them to Oxidative Phosphorylation
What are Electron Carriers?
Chemical reactions that break down substances into smaller parts (releases energy)
What are Catabolic Reactions?
Regulation where activator binding to one site of enzyme improves binding all over enzyme
What is Cooperativity?
The structure found on membranes used during Oxidative Phosphorylation
What is Electron Transport Chain?
C4 Plants: Use PEP Carboxylase and second cell to maximize co2 binding
CAM Plants: Open stomata at night to minimize dehydration
Chemical reactions that increase entropy
What are Spontaneous Reactions?
