Fitness
genetic material that is passed from one generation to the next that specifies the functioning of living cells and organisms.
What is DNA relating to fitness?
During oxidative phosphorylation, what is chemiosis coupled with?
What is electron transport.
What type of inhibitor functions by competing with a similarly shaped substrate by binding to a specific enzyme’s active site and inhibiting its activity?
What is competitive inhibitors.
What is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration?
What is oxygen?
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
What is 6CO2+6H20+ light energy →> C6H1206 +
602
What are contributions of genomics and proteomics to biology?
What is evolution, conservation biology, paleontology, medical science, and special interactions.
Where is the electron transport chain embedded?
What is the mitochondria.
What inhibitor functions by binding to an allosteric site that then causes a change in active site shape and inhibiting its activity?
What is allosteric inhibitors.
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
What is photosynthesis using light energy to convert CO2 and H2O into glucose while cellular respiration uses glucose and O2 to produce CO2 and H2O and releases energy.
What are the inputs and outputs of both light-dependent and independent reactions in photosynthesis?
What is H20, 02, glucose, and CO2
What is fitness a measure of ?
What is how well an organism’s DNA and the molecules it produced contributes to the next generation.
What products of glucose oxidation are essential for oxidative phosphorylation?
What is NADH and FADH2
What happens if an enzyme’s temperature is outside its optimal range?
What is the enzyme activity decreases or even stops because of denaturation.
What is the energy released from glucose metabolism used for?
What is to create ATP that can be used to fuel cellular processes.
What is the function of the ATP synthase in photosynthesis light-dependent reactions?
What is harnessing the flow of protons to yield ATP from ADP and phosphate?
How you can determine protein sequences in an organisms.
What is using biochemical techniques that allows the translation of the DNA sequences that code for them.
How can phosphorylation cascades amplify a signal pathway?
What is by creating chain reaction of one phosphorylation protein activating another and then another (and so on)
How do enzymes speed up the rate of a reaction?
What is by lowering the activation energy.
How is NADH production affected when there is a deficiency in pyruvate dehydrogenase complex?
What is a decrease in amount of NADH produced.
How does the Calvin Cycle utilize the outputs or products of the light-dependent reactions?
What is by using the ATP and NADH products to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
How can we extend the concept of molecular genealogy to relationships between species?
What is closely related species will share anatomical properties.
How can adding a phosphate group to a molecule (protein), alter its activity or function within a cell?
What is by changing its shape, ability to interact with other molecules, and charge
What cycle occurs when a substrate enters the active site, is held by induced fit and weak interactions, and are converted to products that are release, leaving active site available for a new substrate?
What is the catalytic cycle of enzymes.
Whaat is the difference between fermentation and regular cellular respiration?
What is fermentation being an anaerobic process that produces 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule while regular respiration is an aerobic process that produces 32 ATP molecules per glucose molecules.
What are the differences between chlorophyll a and b?
What is having a difference in molecular structure that allows the two chlorophylls to absorb different colors of light?
