Chapter 9b
Pyruvate processing is located here in eukaryotes
What is mitochondrial matrix
The two linked components (big picture) of photosynthesis
What is Light-capturing reactions and Calvin cycle (dark reaction)
Layer that helps cells attach to other cells and is formed by cell secretion (exocytosis)
What is the extracellular layer
Signal that acts on the same cell that secreted it
Neurons have a high concentration of this kind of channel in their plasma membrane
What is K+ leak channels
Where the electron transport chain is located in prokaryotes
What is plasma membrane
Reaction in which H20 is oxidized to O2 in photosynthesis
What is Light-capturing reaction
Counteracts the turgor pressure as water enters the cell by osmosis
What is primary cell wall in plants
Vehicle for neural signals
What is neurotransmitters
Converts chemical signals to electrical signals in a neuron
What is dendrites
The substrate of the citric acid cycle that is a product of pyruvate processing
What is Acetyl CoA
Pigments that absorb light of blue and red color
Connects the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton
Lipid soluble signal that bind to receptors inside the target cell
What is steroid hormone
The action potential depends on these channels that open and close in response to changes in membrane voltage
What is voltage-gated channels
The complex that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate
What is pyruvate dehydrogenase
The three steps of the Calvin Cycle
What is
1. Fixation of carbon dioxide
2. Reduction of 3-phosphoglycerate
3. Regeneration of RuBP
Connects the cytoskeletons of cells
What is desmosomes
Amplify the hormone signal and are usually produced quickly and in large quantities
What is second messengers
Number 2
What is Repolarization Phase
For each molecule of glucose that is oxidized, the cell produces what 4 things (give specific numbers)
1. 6 CO2
2. 4 ATP (as useable fuel)
3. 10 NADH
4. 2 FADH2
The process by which glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules produced by the Calvin Cycle are often used to make glucose and fructose
What is gluconeogenesis
Function of plasmodesmata
What is connect the cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells and allow them to communicate directly
Signal transduction may open ion channels through ________________.
What is ion channel-couples receptors
When volatge-gated Na+ channels open but K+ channels remain closed
What is depolarization phase
