Macromolecules
This macromolecule is needed for every cell function
Proteins
Why are enzymes specific in their action?
Certain ones only work with certain substrates
What are the inputs for photosynthesis
Sunlight, Carbon Dioxide, Water
What are the inputs for cellular respiration?
Oxygen and Glucose
Proteins are made up of long chains of...
Amino Acids
This macromolecule stores energy
Lipids
What are two characteristics an enzyme might need for a reaction to happen?
Specific pH and temperature
What are the outputs for photosynthesis?
Oxygen and glucose
What are the outputs for cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide, water and 38 ATP
Are the proteins produced by each of your cells the same?
No
Carbohydrates
What happens when an enzyme is exposed to too high of heat?
It no longer functions
What cell organelle is needed for photosynthesis?
What is ATP?
Energy
Where is hereditary information in your DNA?
Nuclear bases (A, G, T, C)
This macromolecule stores genetic information
Nucleic Acids
The body's ability to stay in balance
Homeostasis
What reaction is the inverse of photosynthesis?
Cellular Respiration
What part of cellular respiration makes the most ATP?
Electron Transport Chain
What are two roles proteins have?
What are the 4 macromolecules?
Proteins, Lipids, Carbohydrates and Nucleic Acids
Why do different enzymes have different structures?
They have specific active sites (like puzzle pieces)
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Write the equation for cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> 6CO2+6H2O + 38 ATP
What is the difference between transcription and translation?
Transcription is in the nucleus when RNA is copied. Translation is in the ribosome when protein is made.
