Enzymes
The term for minimum amount of energy required to start a reaction
What is activation energy?
Primary pigment involved in photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll?
Products of glycolysis
What are 2 pyruvate and 2 ATP
Organism used to carry out anaerobic respiration
What is yeast?
Organisms that produce their own organic compounds from inorganic sources, serving as the base of most food chains.
What are autotrophs?
An organic catalyst
What is an enzyme?
These flattened sacs within the chloroplast are where the light-dependent reactions occur.
What are thylakoids?
Process involved in anaerobic respiration
What is fermentation?
Purpose of using the syringe to create a vacuum with the leaves in the photosynthesis lab
What is to remove the gas so the leaves sink?
Photosynthesis and respiration have this in common
ETC or ATP synthase?
What is an active site?
This is the source of the oxygen gas released as a byproduct during photosynthesis.
What is water?
Products of the Krebs Cycle
NADH, FADH2 and ATP
Enzyme involved in the enzyme lab
What is catalase?
Molecule that fits the active site that is not the substrate
What is a competitive inhibitor?
Can be a result of change in pH or temperature
What is denaturation?
Converting inorganic carbon compounds into organic compounds
What is carbon fixation?
This process generates the majority of ATP during aerobic respiration
What is ETC (oxidative phosphorylation)?
Dependent variable in our respiration lab?
What is balloon circumference?
This law of thermodynamics states that the total energy in the universe is constant; energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
Regulatory site on an enzyme that can activate or inhibit a reaction
What is an allosteric site?
The process by which the movement of protons across the thylakoid membrane drives ATP synthesis via ATP synthase.
This is protein complex that phosphorylates ADP into ATP
What is ATP Synthase?
Tool used to quantitatively measure the dependent variable in the enzyme lab
What is a spectrophotometer?
The reaction that breaks down complex molecules into simpler ones, generally releasing energy.
What is catabolism?
