|
in cellular respiration, if oxygen is present, pyruvate and NADH will ________ |
enter the mitochondria |

NAD+ is reduced to NADH and 2pyruvates > 2NADH +2 acetyl co A |
|
Kreb's Cycle |

if oxygen is not present.... |
pyruvate cannot enter the mitochondria. then fermentation happens.
|
|
fermentation= |
pyruvate is converted into lactic acid or ethanol depending on the organism |
|
light reaction= |
taking light and splitting H2O, which releases oxygen. there are two parts. |
|
two parts of light reaction: |
1. photosystem II (makes ATP) 2. photosystem I (makes NADPH) |
|
calvin cycle= |
6 CO2 are used along with energy from ATP and NADPH from light reaction to make C6H12O6 (glucose) |
|
plants that need their stomata open in order to perform photosynthesis, problem with dehydration during hot days |
C3 Plants (oat, wheat, soy) |
|
in C3 plants, _______ enters the Calvn cycle as a 3 carbon sugar |
carbon dioxide |
|
plants that have a better way to store carbon dioxide, do not have to worry about dehydration |
C4 (sugar cane) |
|
plants that store carbon dioxide as molecule CAM. open their stomata only at night and store carbon dioxide as CAM and close their stomata during the day |
CAM plants (succulents, cacti) |
|
molecule oxidized to pyruvate during glycolysis: |
glucose |
|
what molecule enters the krebs cycle? |
acetyl co A |
|
what molecules enter the electron transport chain? |
10 NADH and 2 FADH |
|
what is the function of ATP synthase? |
to attach phosphate to ADP to form ATP using the energy from the electron transport chain |
|
the process by which millions of cells are made every second in an animals body. occurs to increase primary growth in shoots and roots and secondary growth in woody plants. |
mitosis |
|
_____ codes for all the proteins |
genes |
|
______ will condense (be packed tighter) to form chromosomes before the cell divides |
chromatin DNA |
|
before mitosis, all DNA is replicated by ____ |
forming chromatids |
|
the two identical chromatids will... |
join together to form sister chromatids |
|
sister chromatids are attached to each other at |
the centromere |
|
humans have 23 pairs of ______ |
homologous chromosomes |
|
humans have approximately ________ genes on the 23 pairs of chromosomes |
20,000 |
|
I _____ you! |
love! -stephen |
|
G1 (AKA Gap one/ growth one) is the ______ phase |
synthesis. DNA replicates |
|
G2 (growth or gap two) is when... |
DNA condenses |
|
G1, S, G2 = |
interphase |
|
the cell spends 90% of the time in ______ |
interphase |
|
S phase= |
DNA replicates. S stands for synthesis of new DNA |
|
mitosis= |
cells divide into two daughter cells with identical chromosomes and genes that are genetically identical to the parent cell that divided |
|
four phases of mitosis: |
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
|
prophase= |
sister chromatids condense and are visible. nucleolus fragments and disappear. spindle of microtubules forms and attaches to the sister chromatids at the centromere |
|
the attachment point of the spindle on the sister chromatids is called the.... |
kinetochore |
|
sister chromatids line up across the equator of the cell on the metaphase plate |
metaphase |
|
sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes during anaphase (they are no longer sister chromatids) the spindle pulls them towards the poles (each end) of the cell |
anaphase |
|
nucleus and nucleolus reform. the spindle disappears and cytokinesis occurs to form two daughter cells |
telophase |
|
cytokinesis |
the separation of two cytoplasm to form two daughter cells. in animals a cleavage furrow is formed during cytokinesis but in plant cells a cell plate from vesicles that carry cellulose fusing together. this forms the new cell wall in plants |
|
controls that set the timing of the cell cycle , these are proteins that signal the cell when to start the different parts of the cell cycle . they determine how long a cell spends in g1 and g2 |
cyclin |
|
caused by a mutation in cell cycle proteins (cyclin) |
cancer |
|
the longest parts of the cell cycle |
g1 and g2 |
|
normal looking cells just going through mitosis a little faster than normal cells, noninvasive to other tissues |
benign tumors |
|
cells do not look normal in biopsy. cells are constantly going through mitosis (g1 and g2 phases of cell cycle). these cells are invasive into other tissues and will break off into the lymphatic system or the circulatory system -metastases |
malignant tumor |
|
genes that code for normal growth factors. |
proto-oncogenes |
|
proto-oncogenes that turn on and stay turned on |
oncogenes |

unwinds double stranded DNA making replication bubbles |
helicase |
|
binds to DNA and adds nucleosides going from 3 to 5 |
DNA polymerase |
|

|
connects the lagging strands together, the glue that seals the free ends |
DNA ligase |
