Substance that lowers the energy of activation for a reaction?
|
Catalyst (enzymes) |
|
_______are proteins that act as a catalyst in chemical reactions.
|
Enzymes |
|
Energy of activation?
|
The energy required for a reaction to take place |
|
Type of reactions are used to obtain energy?
|
Catabolic (they break down) |
|
Enzymes always end in what suffix?
|
-ase |
|
Process where energy (ATP) can be transferred directly is called?
|
Substrate phosphorylation |
|
Chemical equation for glucose? |
C6H12O6 |
|
Means Removal of a substance and will lose electrons
|
Oxidation |
|
Means adding of a substance and will gain elections |
Reduction
|
|
What is glucose oxidation?
|
Chemical process that provides energy for an organism |
|
Process where energy (ATP) is transferred indirectly? |
|
|
Process more common (oxidative phosphorylation or substrate level phosphorylation)? |
Oxidative phosphorylation |
|
Exchange rate for NADH to ATP
|
For every 1 NADH= 3 ATP
|
|
Exchange rate for FADH to ATP
|
For every 1 FADH= 2 ATP |
|
________is required for cellular (aerobic) respiration
|
Oxygen |
|
Four stages of cellular respiration for glucose oxidation?
|
Intermediate stage Kreb Cycle (Inner folds of mitochondria) ETC or Electron Transport Chain |
|
Aerobic respiration uses?
|
Oxygen |
|
Two processes of cellular respiration produces C02 that you exhale? |
Intermediate and Kreb cycle |
|
ATP produced by the Krebs Cycle for each molecule of glucose?
|
Two |
|
Portion of cellular respiration nets the most ATP |
ETC |
|
Process of converting glucose into energy is called?
|
Cellular respiration |
|
Cellular respiration requires in "investment" of 2 ATP
|
Glycolysis and ETC |
|
The step of cellular respiration can occur with oxygen
|
Glycolysis
|
|
Which steps are aerobic respiration?
|
Intermediate, Kreb cycle, and ETC |
|
Glycolysis is catabolic or anabolic? |
Catabolic (break down) |
|
When pyruvate is produced and there is no O2 present what happens at the end of glycolysis?
|
Two pyruvate is converted into lactate and starts fermintation |
|
When pyruvate is produced and O2 is present what happens? |
Goes to the intermediate stage |
|
Stage linked between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle
|
Intermediate cycle |
|
The catalyst in the intermediate stage
|
Pyruvate |
|
Two substances combine during intermediate stage to produce Acetyl CoA
|
Coenzyme A and Pyruvate |
|
Net products form intermediate stage
|
2 NADH 2 Co2 |
|
Cellular respiration exergonic or endogenic?
|
Exergonic overall
|
|
What is happening in the Kreb cycle?
|
Acetyl CoA molecule is broken down by mitochondrial enzymes and its energy is released |
|
What is photosynthesis?
|
Chemical steps in plants and algae that deal with the conversion of light into stored "food" energy such as sugars and starches. There are also secondary compounds produced. This process occurs in the chloroplast. |
|
Organic compounds such as NAD or FAD that aid in metabolic reactions, usually by transporting elections. Vitamins are good examples are what? |
Co-enzyme |
|
A series of reactions that occur in the stroma of the chloroplast using ATP and NADHP to fix CO2 into glucose and eventually starches? |
Calvin cycle |
|
A reaction in which phosphate is added to a compound. There are three ways this can occur: substrate level and oxidative?
|
Phosphorylation |
