Cellular Respiration
The role of oxygen in cellular respiration
What is the final electron acceptor?
What is RUBISCO?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is first law of thermodynamics?
Where the light reaction takes place
What is thylakoid membrane
You eat food and you digest it into smaller macromolecules for your body to use
What is catabolism?
The total products of glycolysis.
What is 4 ATP, 2 NADH and 2 pyruvate?
The calvin cycle needs to run x amount of times to form one molecule of glucose
What is 6 times?
Glycolysis breaks down a glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules
What is catabolism?
The calvin cycle produces a product that is not used in the light reaction
What is glucose (sugar)?
A dam stores a large reservoir of water
What is an example of potential energy?
This last step of cellular respiration produces the most ATP and happens in the mitochondria
What is oxidative phosphorylation?
The calvin cycle would first be effected by the absence of light at this stage
What is reduction?
An inhibitor binds at a site other than the active site, changing the shape of the enzyme and reducing the rate of the reaction
What is noncompetitive inhibitor?
The light reaction has two reactants entering the chloroplast and two reactants used from products of the calvin cycle
What is light and H2O?
What is NADP+ and ADP?
This type of reaction requires energy, builds up molecules, and does not happen on its own.
What is anabolic and nonspontaneous?
Plants, and mammals undergo this alternative pathway when there is no oxygen present
What is fermentation?
If Rubisco binds to O2 it will undergo this reaction
What is photorespiration?
Lowering activation energy would not change this
What is the free energy of a reaction?
Electron carrier that captures energy released from the breakdown of glucose
What is NADH and FADH2?
The breakdown of these bonds in this molecule releases the most energy because the bonds store the most potential energy
What is phosphodiester bonds and ATP?
Glycolysis uses an enzyme to catalyze the first step that requires ATP
What is phosphofructokinase?
The light reaction creates some products that are used in the calvin cycle and some that are not used in the calvin cycle
What is ATP and NADPH?
What is O2?
Nonspontaneous reactions can be grouped with spontaneous reactions so that the reaction can proceed
What is energetic coupling?
Plants and animals store glucose in different ways
Plants: What is starch?
Animals: What is glycogen?
Chemiosmosis occurs in the ETC with protons flowing from the ___ to ____ through ____ enzyme
Intermembrane space, mitochondrial matrix, atp synthase
