all the chemical reactions that occur in living cells
metabolism
the addition of a phosphate group to a substrate
phosphorylation
True or False: when phosphorylation adds a negative charge to a protein, the electrons in the protein keep the same configuration.
False, the electrons in the protein change configuration
the amount of energy in an electron is based on its what?
based on its position relative to other electrons and the protons in the nuclei
Protein movement does what 3 things in a cell?
transports materials inside cells, powers flagella or cilia, and pumps ions across membranes
chemical reactions that involve the loss or gain of one or more electrons
Reduction-oxidation reactions
LEO
loss of electrons is oxidation
GER
gain of electrons is reduction
True or False:Oxidation events are always paired with a reduction
true
True or False: C-H bonds contain a lot of energy
true
Oxidized molecules have what kind of bonds?
C-O
oxidized molecules tend to have high or low potential energy?
low
in redox reactions, the electron receptor is oxidized or reduced?
reduced
glycolysis, pyruvate processing, citric acid cycle, electron transport and chemiosmosis
four steps of cellular respiration
one molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of the 3-carbon compound pyruvate. which process of cellular respiration?
glycolysis
processed to form compound acetyl-CoA. molecule of NADH produced
pyruvate processing
Acetyl-CoA is oxidized to two molecules of CO2
citric acid cyle
another name for the citric acid cyle
krebs cycle
any suite of reactions that produces ATP in an electron transport chain
cellular respiration
all 10 reactions of glycolysis occur in what?
the cytosol
True or Fase: Most of the time, the addition of a substrate slows the rate of a chemical reaction.
false, the addition of a substrate speeds the rate of a chemical reaction
this occurs when an enzyme in a pathway is inhibited by the product and the reaction sequence
feedback inhibition
enzymes active site or a location that changes the enzyme's activity where ATP can bind
regulatory site
When ATP concentrations are high, the molecule also binds at the regulatory site on what?
phosphofructokinase
the pyruvate produced by glycolysis is transported from what to what?
cytosol to mitochondria
the use of sunlight to manufacture carbohydrates
photosynthesis
organisms that make all of their own food from ions and simple molecules
organisms that obtain sugars and many of the other macromolecules they need from other organisms
True or False: Photosynthesis is endergonic where as Cellular Respiration is exergonic.
true
reactions that reduce carbon dioxide and produce sugar but only functions if the light-capturing reactions are occuring
Calvin Cycle
what two color photos are the most effective at driving photosynthesis?
red and blue
how do carotenoids protect chlorophyll molecules from harm?
they "quench" free radicals by accepting or stabilizing unpaired electrons
phases of mitosis
interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
most of cell life is in which phase?
interphase
type of reproduction that produces offspring genetically identical to the parent
asexual reproduction
single long DNA double helix wrapped around proteins in a organised manner
chromosome
DNA copy in a replicated chromosome
chromatid
parts of interphase
G1, S, G2
another name for interphase
miotic (M) phase
homologous chromosomes
chromosomes with the same genes
how many copies of each type would the organism usually have?
2
how many chromosomes do humans have?
46
