Photosynthesis
What carries energized electrons from the LDR to the Calvin Cycle?
NADPH
Which step of cellular respiration does not require oxygen?
Glycolysis
What is an Enzyme?
A protein that makes or breaks chemical bonds.
Anaerobic Respiration, also known as fermentation, produces how many ATP?
2
What two colors do green plants absorb best?
Blue and Red
Name 3 different pigments found in leaves.
Chlorophylls, carotene, xanthophyll
How many times more efficient is Aerobic Respiration than Anaerobic?
19 (38/2)
Name 2 drugs that work by inhibiting an enzyme.
Ibuprofen
blood pressure medicines
antidepressants
antibiotics
protease inhibitors used to fight HIV
pesticides
deadly poisons for chemical warfare
What is the formula for glucose?
C6H12O6
Why does shivering keep you warm and extreme muscular exertion cause you to get hot?
The energy that is lost rather than transformed into ATP is lost as heat.
What is the role of RuBisCO in the Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reactions)?
RuBisCO catalyzes a reaction between CO2 and RuBP which forms a six-carbon compound that is immediately converted into two three-carbon compounds
Why would human cells choose to perform anaerobic respiration?
Human cells will chose anaerobic respiration when the demand from atp surpasses what can be generated from aerobic respiration alone.
Who is sierra's favorite celebrity?
Zendaya
What color from the visible spectrum has the longest wavelength and the least amount of energy?
Red
What compound do plants get from their roots for photosynthesis?
Water
Is photosynthesis an exergonic or endergonic reaction?
endergonic
What is created by humans if cells are forced to create ATP without oxygen?
Lactic Acid
How does an enzyme work?
1) Enzyme available with empty active site. 2) Substrate binds to enzyme with induced fit. 3) Substrate is covered to products. 4) Products are released.
The site of glucose production in a plant.
chloroplast
What features of chloroplasts help maximize the amount of light that can be absorbed?
Organization (no shade), larger surface area, parallel to the cell wall
Where is O2 generated in photosynthesis?
Oxygen is made when water is spilt in the LDR.
What is the role of O2 in cellular respiration?
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the chain and is reduced to become the water. (O2 + H+ + H+ = H2O)
What is Thomas' favorite shape?
Triangle
What gas is produced by yeast in alcoholic fermentation?
CO2
What would happen if the outer membrane of a mitochondria had a hole punched through it?
The protons would diffuse out of the mitochondria so it would lose the proton gradient and ATP synthase wont work because there are no protons so ATP can't be made.
