Concept 1 pt.1
What is a Product?
Substances that are made by a chemical reactions
What are Enzymes?
Mostly proteins that speed up biochemical reactions by lowering activation energy.
What does ATP stand for
Adenosine Triphosphate
Where does all energy come from?
The Sun!
They eat other organisms.
All of the chemical reactions within each cell of an organism.
What is Metabolism?
What are enzymes that speed up a reaction called?
Catalysts
Adenine, Ribose , Triphosphate
Where do Consumers get their energy from?
Living or Once-living organisms.
What do Omnivores eat
Meat as well as vegetation.
Breaking down of larger molecules into simpler compounds
What does an enzyme bind to in a reaction?
An active site.
How does ATP become ADP?
ATP looses a phosphate while releasing energy
ATP --> ADP + P + energy
Autotrophs that get their energy from non- living sources are called?
Producers
What does a food web show?
multiple food chains at once and how they interconnect.
Absorbs energy (in the form of heat or light)
- Is it Endothermic or Exothermic?
Endothermic
What happens when an active site gets deformed and loses shape?
You get a Denatured Enzyme
What is Chemiosmosis?
The movement of an ion down a concentration gradient.
What is not an example of a consumer?
- Animals, plants, and fungi
Plants
What does the Energy Pyramid represent?
The energy available at each trophic level
- levels always get smaller as you go up in the pyramid
What is Light Energy stored as?
How does an Enzyme get denatured?
Extreme changes in Temperature, PH, Ion strength, and Solubility
What enzyme is used to add the 3rd phosphate to ADP, making ATP?
Where does Chemosynthesis get its energy from?
Chemicals like sulfur and methane.
What does the Biomass Pyramid represent?
The total mass of living organic matter at each tropic level.
