Energy
Release energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds
What is a catabolic pathway?
Area for substrate to bind
What is an active site?
Green pigment in thylakoid membranes
What is chlorophyll?
The final electron acceptor
What is Oxygen?
A loss of e-
What is oxidation?
Consume energy to build complicated molecules from simpler compounds
What is an anabolic pathway?
Reduce enzyme activity by blocking substrates from binding to the active site
What are competitive inhibitors?
The location of water splitting during photosynthesis
What is inside photosystem II?
The first stage in cellular respiration
What is glycolysis?
The purpose of sunlight in photosynthesis (be specific)
What is to excite electrons?
During energy transfers or transformations, some energy is unusable and often lost as heat
What is the 2nd law of thermodynamics?
Bind to the allosteric site, which changes the shape of the active site preventing substrates from binding
What are noncompetitive inhibitors?
The sugar molecule created during the Calvin cycle.
What is G3P?
Main product of pyruvate oxidation
What is acetyl CoA?
Ion gradient used by ATP synthase
What is a H+?
What is a proton?
The bond broken in ATP that releases energy. (Hint: Not a type of bond)
What is the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group?
Enzymes will change the shape of their active site to allow the substrate to bind better
What is induced fit?
The chemical energy molecules created in the light dependent reactions
What are ATP and NADPH?
Electron carriers created during glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle
What are NADH and FADH2?
The enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in photosynthesis
What is rubisco?
All of the chemical reactions in an organism
What is metabolism?
Non protein molecules that assist enzyme function
What are cofactors?
One way that plants have adapted to avoid photorespiration.
What is C4 plants have a spatial separation of the steps in photosynthesis?
What is C4 plants partially close their stomata to conserve water?
What is CAM plants open their stomata at night to absorb carbon dioxide and keep them closed during the day?
Location of the electron transport chain
What is the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
The impact on the human body when lactate is unable to be broken down
What is lactic acidosis?
What is excessively low blood pH?
