Cellular Respiration
Carbon dioxide is produced during this stage of cellular respiration.
What is the Krebs Cycle (or citric acid cycle)?
By passive diffusion, which way does K+ move when a channel opens for it?
What is out of the cell?
This pigment absorbs light energy to produce sugar.
What is chlorophyll?
Converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin
What is renin?
A good example of exocytosis.
What are neurotransmitters? What are digestive enzymes?
These are the primary electron carriers during cellular respiration.
What is NADH?
Enzymes lower this to speed up chemical reactions.
What is activation energy?
These structures are where spindle fibers develop from.
What are centrioles?
Converts pepsinogen to pepsin.
What is hydrochloric acid?
A WBC engulfs a bacterial cell.
What is phagocytosis?
This is why we need to breathe IN air.
What is to bring in oxygen?
This term means polar or "water-loving"
What is hydrophilic?
This structure folds and transports protein.
What is the rough ER?
Converts fibrinogen to fibrin.
What is thrombin?
These factors increase the ability of glucose to enter cells.
What are insulin and exercise?
Each time an electron transport protein gets a momentary energy burst from a passing it electron, it uses the energy to do this.
What is pump a H+ ion out of the matrix of the mitochondria?
In biology, the term oxidize typically means this.
What is loss of electrons/breaking down/loss of H+ ions?
These structures are found in the center of plant cells and hold water.
What are central vacuoles?
Breaks starch down into individual glucose molecules.
What is amylase?
These channels allow water to move down its concentration gradient - particularly important in the kidneys.
What are aquaporins?
ATP synthase allows through lots of these that can bind to oxygen and form the stable compound of water.
What are H+ ions (or protons)?
A high fever may denature proteins - denature can be described in this way:
What is unfolded?
Enzyme/nanomachine that reads mRNA to build protein.
What is a ribosome?
Breaks down milk sugar.
What is lactase?
This is the purpose of the Na+/K+ ATPase pump.
What is maintain high Na+ extracellularly and high K+ intracellularly?
