Isotonic
Balances
Hypertonic
More water/Less solute; Cells shrink
Hypotonic
Less water/More solute; Cells swell
Phagocytosis
Large sized materials taken into the cell; Cell eating
Pinocytosis
Liquids or small molecules such as proteins taken into cell; Cell drinking
Diffusion
Molecules move down a concentration gradient from higher to lower concentration untill equal distribution
Facilitated Diffusion
Occurs when certain sugars and amino acid molecules are transported across the membrane by a carrier protein down a concentration gradient at a faster rate than simple diffusion; this does not need energy
Osmosis
A net of movement of water molecules from a region of greater concentration to a region of lesser concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.
Active Transport
Requires energy
Passive Transport
Does not require energy
Catalyst
Another name for an enzyme
Solute
Substance being dissolved.
Solvent
Dissolving agent.
Solution
Homogeneous mixture where one or more of the substances are distributed equally.
How many total ATPs are produced in aerobic cellular respiration?
38
Equation for photosynthesis
CO2+H20 --light--energy----> C6H12O6+O2
Anaerobic
No oxygen
The substrate and products of glycolysis
Substrate: glucose
Product: pyruvic acid
Denatured
Changed in nature or natural quality
What determines the function of a protein?
Shape
Oxidation
The loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
Reduction
The gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplasts
The substrates of photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide and water
The products of photosynthesis
Oxygen and glucose
What structure provides energy for work?
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
What is the role of the ATP synthase?
It uses a hydrogen ion gradient to make ATP.
Naming enzymes
Protein + -ase
Example:
Cellulase acts on cellulose
Enzyme inhibitors
Molecules that bind to enzymes and decrease their activity
What determines the function of an enzyme?
Shape
__________ energy is converted to ____________ energy in photosynthesis.
Solar energy; chemical energy
Thylakoid
Flattened membranous sacs that form the chloroplast membranes
Stroma
The fluid of the chloroplast surrounding the thylakoid membrane.
Granum
Stack of thylakoids
Stomata
Microscopic openings on the surface of leaves.
Producers
Organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis or other reactions and are a food source for other organisms.
Consumers
Organisms that ingest other organisms, like plants, in order to gain energy.
What does pyruvic acid need to be converted into before the Citric Acid Cycle?
Acetyl co-enzyme A
What are the products of cellular respirations?
Carbon dioxide, water, and energy
What are the substrates of cellular respiration?
Glucose and oxygen
What allows the plants to obtain most of their water?
Chlorophyll
Enzyme and rate of reaction relationship
As the substrate concentration increases so does the reaction rate because there is more substrate for the enzyme react with.
Slow Twitch Fibers
Marathoners; Less power, lasts longer, generate ATP WITH oxygen.
Fast Twitch Fibers
Sprinters; Generates more power, fatigue quicker, generates ATP WITHOUT oxygen
Exocytosis
Takes materials out of cell
Endocytosis
Takes materials into cell
Once electrons reach the end of the ETC, they produce large amounts of _____.
ATP
Which part of the process of photosynthesis do you get glucose?
Calvin Cycle
Which part of the process of photosynthesis do you get oxygen?
Light Reaction
The first electron acceptor of cellular respiration.
NAD+
Where does glycolysis occur?
Cytosol
Where does the Citric Acid Cycle occur?
Mitochondria
Where does the electron transport chain occur?
Eukaryotes: Mitochondria.
Prokaryotes: Plasma membrane
What directly produces most of the ATP in cellular respiration?
Electron Transport Chain
What is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?
Oxygen
Glycolysis
A six-carbon glucose molecule is split in half to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. These two molecules then donate high energy electrons to NAD+ forming NADH. It uses two ATP molecules per glucose to split the six carbon glucose. Makes four additional ATP directly when enzymes transfer phosphate groups. Net gain of two ATP.
Citric Acid Cycle
In this step of aerobic respiration, the ATP is ready to release the energy stored in the molecular bonds of pyruvates.
Electron Transport Chain
In this step, these high energy electrons are again used to convert ADP into ATP. This chain consists of a network of electron-carrying proteins which are present in the inner membrane of the cell, mitochondrion. Electrons are transferred from one place to another by the proteins.
Chlorophyll A
Absorbs blue-violet, and red light; participates directly in light reactant.
Chlorophyll B
Blue and orange; Indirectly involved in light reactant
Carotenoids
Blue to green; Indirectly involved in light reactant; absorbs and dissipates excessive light energy that may damage chlorophyll; Reflecting most in autumn.
Light behaves as a _______.
Photon
Photon
Packets of energy
Light reactant
Converts solar to chemical energy. Oxygen produced
Calvin Cycle
Uses products of light reactants to make sugar.
Why would a pyruvic acid molecule enter into fermentation versus into the citric acid cycle?
Oxygen
Turgid
Swollen, distended, pressing out against sides.
Plasmolysis
Osmotic condition in which a cell loses water to its outside environment; Shrinks
What molecule is required for aerobic respiration to occur beyond glycolysis?
Either ATP or oxygen
