Enzymes
What is the suffix for Enzyme Names?
-ase
How many photosystems are involved in Photosynthesis, and what are they called?
2, Photosystem I and Photosystem II
What is the point of cellular respiration?
To make ATP
What are the steps of Mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What is metabolism?
All of the chemical reactions that take place in a cell
What is Denaturation?
Alters shape of enzyme which can hurt its ability to act with its substrate
What are the products of the Light Reaction?
ATP & NADPH
What is the first step?
Glycolysis, where glucose becomes two pyruvates
What occurs during Anaphase?
The chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell by the spindle fibers
What is the purpose of all cellular processes?
To maintain Homeostasis
What is the Allosteric Site?
The site at which non-competitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme which leads to the enzyme’s shape change and a less effective active site
What are the products of the Dark Reaction?
Sugar molecules and other organic molecules necessary for cell function and metabolism
Where does Cellular Respiration take place?
Mitochondria, except for glycolysis, which happens in the cytoplasm
When does the chromatin condense and what else happens in this phase?
Prophase; the spindle begins to form
What is the purpose of metabolic pathways?
To break down reactions into smaller steps to give more control
What is induced fit in relation to a substrate and enzymatic bondage?
Induced fit is the process in which the Enzyme slightly changes shape in order to accommodate the presence of the substrate
Within Chloroplasts, what are grana?
Grana are the structures stacked together to form thylakoids
How much ATP is produced at the end of cellular respiration?
30-36
What is binary fission?
When prokaryotic cells use mitosis to reproduce
What is an exergonic reaction?
Net release of free energy because of spontaneity
What is a cofactor?
Nonprotein enzymatic helpers that can be inorganic (ions + metals), or enzymatic (coenzymes)
Where is the cytochrome located?
The intermembrane of the mitochondria
What are the products of the Citric Acid Cycle?
6NADH and 2FADH2
When does the M checkpoint happen and what does it do?
Between Metaphase and Anaphase; ensures that each chromosome is attached to a spindle fiber
What is the anabolic Pathway?
The pathway that consumes energy in order to build complex molecules from simple molecules
