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
|
