Enzymes
How an enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction
What is lowering activation energy?
Site of photosynthesis
Site of cellular respiration
What are mitochondria?
The name of a process that occurs without oxygen
What is anaerobic?
This is a byproduct of water splitting during the light reactions
What is O2?
The two types of inhibitors that prevent enzymatic function
What are allosteric (noncompetitive) and competitive inhibitors?
The equation for photosynthesis
What is H2O + CO2 + light --> C6H12O6 + O2
Equation for cellular respiration
What is O2 + C6H12O6 --> CO2 + H2O + ATP
This type of fermentation can be conducted by animals and bacteria, when oxygen isn't readily available.
What is lactic acid fermentation?
Molecule used for energy
What is ATP synthase?
A particular flower absorbs green, blue, and purple light. What color would you expect the flower to be?
What is orange (or reddish orange)?
The final electron acceptor in cellular respiration.
What is O2
Glucose is an example of this type of macromolecule
What are carbohydrates?
Where mass goes when someone "loses weight"
What is the atmosphere (in the form of CO2)?
What is the molecule that an enzyme binds to?
These two molecules are energy carriers for the Calvin Cycle
What are ATP and NADPH
What is all organisms?
This process is the first step in fermentation and it also occurs in cellular respiration
What is glycolysis?
In the electron transport chain of cellular respiration and the light reactions of photosynthesis, the movement of this molecule through ATP synthase causes the formation of ATP from ADP and Pi
What are H+ (or protons)?
Enzymes facilitate these types of reactions; one occurs when water is added to break apart molecules, and the other occurs when water is removed to build larger polymers
What are hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis?
These become excited by light energy and provide energy to pump H+ across the membrane, establishing a concentration gradient
What are electrons?
These two molecules are reduced and become electron carriers for the ETC. They are made in the Krebs Cycle.
What are NADH and FADH2?
The three products of alcoholic fermentation
What are ethanol + CO2 + ATP?
Trees and other plants obtain their biomass with this molecule, while animals can lose their biomass due to the loss of this same molecule.
What is CO2?
