Energy
Reactions that release energy
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?
Ion gradient used by ATP synthase
What is a H+?
What is a proton?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but energy can be transferred or transformed
What is the 1st law of thermodynamics?
Reduce enzyme activity by binding to the active site and blocking substrates.
What are competitive inhibitors?
The sugar molecule created during the Calvin cycle.
What is G3P?
The first stage in cellular respiration
What is glycolysis?
Category of enzymes that break down complex molecules into simple ones.
What are catabolic enzymes?
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 chemical energy molecules created in the light dependent reactions
What are ATP and NADPH?
Main product of pyruvate oxidation
What is acetyl CoA?
A loss of e-
What is oxidation?
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?
Molecules that assist enzyme function
What are cofactors/coenymes?
The location of water splitting during photosynthesis
What is inside photosystem II?
Electron carriers created during glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation and the Krebs cycle
What are NADH and FADH2?
The purpose of sunlight in photosynthesis (be specific)
What is to excite electrons?
All of the chemical reactions in an organism
What is metabolism?
Enzymes will change the shape of their active site to allow the substrate to bind better
What is induced fit?
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 enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in photosynthesis
What is rubisco?
