Enzymes and Biochemical Reactions
Enzymes belong to which category of organic molecule?
What is Protein?
The energy molecule necessary for supplying energy for life is called
What is ATP
Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from?
what is the sun?
Where does photosynthesis occur in the plant?
What is the Chloroplast?
Enzymes attach to molecules called
What are Substrates
What is the function of ATP in living things?
Energy Storage and use
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make:
What is Glucose?
What are the two parts of a chloroplast?
Enzymes function by ____________________________ the activation energy.
What is lowering?
Energy is released from an ATP molecule for cellular processes when it
has a phosphate removed
What is a reactant in photosynthesis?
What is H2O or CO2
What is the purpose of the light-dependent reactions?
To turn sunlight into ATP.
Enzymes fit with their substrates in a region known as the
What is the Active Site?
Where does your body get the energy for reattaching a third phosphate to ADP, creating ATP?
What is food? Specifically Carbs
What is the chemical formula for glucose?
C6H12O6
What is the purpose of the light-independent reactions?
To turn ATP into Glucose.
How does temperature or pH affect the function of an enzyme?
What is altering success or denaturing the enzyme
What is the only thing recycled during the ATP-ADP cycle?
What is the ADP molecule?
Explain the chemical equation for photosynthesis:
6H2O + 6CO2 With Sunlight= 6O2 + C6H12O6
Where do each of the two types of reactions occur (In which parts of the Chloroplasts?)
Light Dependent: Grana
Light Independent: Stroma
Explain what would happen to the world if photosynthesis were to cease and/or plants could not photosynthesize. How would it impact us humans and why?
Can be answered many ways
