  • Front
  • Back
the progressive increase of the Earth’s average temperature that has been occurring over the past century
Global Warming
total amount of energy associated with the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance
heat
measure of the intensity of heat—how fast the molecules in the substance are moving
temperature
can absorb and store large amounts of heat while warming up only a few degrees in temperature
water
is released into the atmosphere, where it can absorb heat, diffuse into the oceans, or be absorbed by forests and soils.
CO2
flows between plants and other organisms and so does energy
carbon
when plants use energy from sunlight to produce organic molecules
photosynthesis
the metabolism of organic molecules that produces not only energy but also carbon dioxide and water
cellular respiration
buried remains of ancient plants and microorganisms that have been transformed by heat and pressure into coal, oil, and natural gas
fossil fuels
5 Problems of Greenhouse Effect?
1. Sea levels reise
2. Plants—forced migration
3. Affects polar bears, seals, and various species
4. Shrinking Glaciers from warming temperatures
5. Mountain Glaciers losing snow/ice caps
Main function of cellular respiration?
convert the energy stored in chemical bonds of foods into energy that cells an use
stored in the electrons of chemical bonds
energy
chemical that cells use for their energy source
ATP
can supply energy to cells because it stores energy obtained from the movement of electrons that originated into its own bonds
ATP
are one of the four main categories of biological molecules required by cells (carbs, lipids, and proteins)
nucleic acids
are polymers of nucleotides
nucleic acids
consist of a nitrogenous base (ACGT) plus a sugar and a phosphate group
nucleotides
is a nucleotide TRIphosphate—meaning it has not one, but THREE phosphates with the base adenine and a sugar
ATP
each phosphate in the series of three is?
negatively charged
The phosphate group that is removed from ATP can be transferred to another molecule—adding a phosphate
Phosphorylation
ATP is synthesized by adding back a phosphate group to ADP during this process?
cellular respiration
Cells use glucose and oxygen to produce?
carbon dioxide and water
Because some of the steps in cellular respiration require oxygen, they are said to be?
aerobic
Cellular respiration is called?
aerobic respiration
begins at the beginning of the pathway, while proteins and fats enter at later points
Carbohydrate metabolism
is energy rich, but carbon dioxide and water are energy poor
glucose
The energy released during the conversion is used to?
synthesize ATP
6-carbon glucose molecule is broken down into?
two 3-carbon pyruvic acid molecules
First part of cellular respiration
glycolysis
Glycolysis occurs outside of any organelle, in the fluid?
cytosol
1. does not require oxygen (anaerobic)
2. produces small amount of ATP
glycolysis
is decarobxylated (loses a carbon dioxide molecule) and the 2-carbon fragment that is left is further metabolized inside the mitochondria
pyruvic acid
loses a carbon dioxide molecule
decarobxylated
organelles found in both plant and animal cells
mitochondria
surrounded by an inner and outer membrane
mitochondria
Space between the two membrane
intermembrane space
the semifluid medium inside the mitochondria
the matrix
once inside the M, the energy stored in the bonds of pyruvic acid is converted into?
energy stored in the bonds of ATP
A series of reactions catalyzed by eight different enzymes
Kreb's Cycle
Breaks down remains of a carbohydrate, harvesting its electrons and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Kreb's Cycle
the first reactant in the Kreb's cycle, a 4-carbon molecule called?
oxaloacetate
