Complex proteins within chlorophyll molecules are network like an antenna capturing photons |
|
|
Photosystem 1 leads to formation of NADPH |
Consist of chlorophyll molecules electron transport system form NADPH powering production of H atoms to build sugars and organic compounds |
|
|
Photosystem 2 leads to formation of ATP |
Consist of chlorophyll a & b capture energy photon reaction center gives excited electron primary electron acceptor; used produce ATP build sugar |
ATP <ADP+P |
|
Chemiosmosis |
Production of ATP involving photosystem, electron transport system special protein channel, ATP synthase |
|
|
C3 photosynthesis |
ATP & NADPH incorporate CO2 from air Rubisco starting material glucose during process of carbon fixation; carried by most plants in mesophyll cells |
1st enzyme of the Calvin cycle |
|
Stomata |
Opening epidermis of leaves, formed guard cells, water vapor and o2 to pass out co2 passes in |
|
|
Photorespiration |
Hot weather, plants close stomata to conserve water o2 builds up in the leaves, enzyme Rubisco binds O2 instead of co2 |
|
|
C4 photosynthesis |
Carried by plants, higher temperatures; oxalacetate, 4- carbon molecules produced, transferred inner bundle sheath cells breaks down co2 enters calvin-benson cycle |
|
|
CAM photosynthesis |
Succulents pineapples, agave, orchids ferns and cone bearers. Open stomata at night when cooler closed during daytime when hot. Fix CO2 into organic acids stored in vacuoles |
|
|
Phytoplankton |
Photosynthetic algae and bacteria oceans carry much photosynthesis then cell respiration |
|
|
Autotrophs are producers |
Make own food photosynthesis include green bacteria, algae, and plant |
|
|
Heterotrophs or consumers |
Depends on others |
Carnivores omnivores detrivore and parasite |
|
Cellular respiration |
Organisms acquire energy break down food by eating plants or other animals |
|
|
Oxidation |
Loss of electrons |
|
|
Reduction |
Gain of electrons |
|
|
Cell respiration has two stages |
Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm, oxidation in the mitochondria |
|
|
Anabolism |
Building molecules or synthesis reactions |
|
|
Catabolism |
Breaking down molecules or degradation reactions |
|
|
Catalyst |
Proteins accelerate forward and backward reactions lowers activation energy. Not all enzymes are proteins |
|
|
Free energy |
Energy available work in any system |
|
|
Enthalpy |
Energy contained in molecules chemical bonds |
|
|
Activation energy |
Energy needed to destabilize chemical bond initiate chemical reaction |
|
|
Biochemical pathways |
Enzymatic reactions occurring sequence where product of one reaction becomes substrate of another |
|
|
Enzyme inhibition |
Occurs when active enzyme prevented from combining with its substrate |
|
|
Feedback inhibition |
When product is in abundance he competes with substrate for the enzyme's active site |
|
|
Competitive inhibitor |
Interferes with active site of enzyme the substrate cannot bind |
|
|
Allosteric inhibitor |
Shape of enzyme by binding to location other than active site so enzyme can't bond to substrate |
