Unit 1: organelles
this organelle is the powerhouse of the cell
this macromolecule is used for immediate energy
what are carbohydrates?
this occurs in the thylakoid membrane
what is a light-dependent reaction?
this is how enzymes speed up reactions
what is lowering the activation energy?
this is the first step in cell signaling
what is reception?
this organelle is where photosynthesis occurs
what is the chloroplast?
this macromolecule is made of amino acids
what are proteins?
this is a product of photosynthesis
what is glucose?
these are the three stages of cellular respiration
what is glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the ETC?
this attaches to the receptor
what is a ligand?
this organelle contains genetic information
what is the nucleus?
this macromolecule is hydrophobic
what are lipids?
this cycle does not require light
what is the Calvin cycle?
this inhibits enzymes from working by attaching to a location other than the active site
what is an allosteric inhibitor?
this involves a plasmodesmata in plants or a gap junction in animal cells
what is direct contact communication?
this organelle makes proteins
what are ribosomes?
this macromolecule cannot be used for energy
what are nucleic acids?
these are reactants of photosynthesis
what is solar energy, water and carbon dioxide?
these are products of cellular respiration
what is water and 30-36 ATP?
this uses hormones to communicate
this organelle breaks proteins down
what are lysosomes?
this macromolecule’s monomers are monosaccharides
what are carbohydrates?
This is composed of a reaction center surrounded by light-harvesting complexes
what are photo systems?
these are the two types of cellular respiration that occur without oxygen
what is lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation?
this is a secondary messenger and amplifies the signal
what is cyclic AMP?
