Organisms obtian nutrients from the environment ..called?
nutrition
some nutrients gained by organisms can be..
carbs, proteiins, lipids, oxygen water, etc
organisms release energy from food in a controlled way
respiration
Chemical energy:
energy stored in chemical bonds of glucose, glycogen lipids, etc
free energy:
energy rapidly available to do work, which we keep on hand as ATP
ATP
stores energy in phosphate bonds (P)
usable form of energy
must be in constant supply
ADP
leftover wehne ATP bonds are broken and energy is released
when new energy is available, ATP is regormed from ADP and phosphate
AMP-
in desperate situations cells will break a second phosphate bond
not as much energy
anabolism uses ATP to
synthesize molecules
ex: Photosynthesis --> glucose-->H20 c02
Catabolism
makes ATP during degradation
ex: to break dwon--> smaller products from larger reactions
cellular respiration is the most efficient way for
organisms to obtain energy stored in nutrients
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
C6 H12 O6 +6O2--> 6CO2 + 6H2O
where does glycolysis take place?
cytoplasm
aerobic respiration requires..
oxygen
anaerobic respiration
doesnt require oxygen, it is simpler thus produces less energy than aerobic
Glycolysis Step 1.
molecule of glucose broken into two
Glycolysis Step 2.
Net of 2 ATP formed
Glycolysis Step 3.
hydrogen available for electron transport
Glycolysis enters the cell and is converted into? and uses ___ ATP molecules
into the form needed for the reactions which uses 2 ATP molecules
The prepared 6-Carbon Molecule splits into two 3-C phosphates called...
PGAL
PGAL is rearranged to form another 3 Carbon compound called
PYRUVATE
the end result of glycolysis is that ___ pyruvate are formed from each glucose molecule
2
Hydrogen ions and electrons are produced which which are carried away by NAD+ later producing
NADH
Oxygen lacking is also called?
fermentation
fermentation produces
no further ATP, and regenerates NAD+ from NADH
pyruvate is converetd into
lactate
when oxygen is present, pyruvate is transported to the
mitochondria
pyruvate is broken up to produce
CO2 and acetate
the acetate produced gets picked up by Coenzyme A and together they form
Acetyl CoA
Acetyl CoA will then go to the
Krebs Cycle
another ___ is produced
NADH
the ___ of the mitochondria contains most of the enzymes for the Krebs Cycle
matrix
the ___ of the mitochondria contain enzymes for electron transport, ATP formation and the Krebs Cycle reactions
cristae
the mitochondria is the location of
the krebs cycle and electron transport
The Krebs Cycle is also called
the Citric Acid Cycle
Krebs Cycle starts where
glycolysis ends when oxygen is present, thus needs aerobic respiration
Krebs cycle technically starts after pyruvate turned into
acetyl CoA
the reactants of Krebs cycle there are 2 Acetyl CoA per
there are 2 Acetyl CoA per glucose molecule
8 NAD+ and 2 FAD
3 molecules of 02
recycled 4C compounds of oxalocalate
Products of Krebs Cycle
2 molecules of ATP
8 NADH and 2FADH2
6 molecules of C02
oxaloacetate
Electron Transport System is a component of what type of respiration?
aerobic
electron transport produces the most
ATP than any of the other reactions
electron transport involves a series of electron carries called
cytochromes in the cristae of mitochondria
What are the 2 carrier molecules for the Electron Transport system called?
NADH and FADH2
what do these two carriers do
bring electrons to the chain via hydrogen
hydrogen atoms are split into
protons and electrons
electrons are transfered along a series of substances releasing
energy at each step
protons diffuse down
the concentration gradient which triggers the conversion of ADP to ATP
the energy ultimately captured is in the form of
ATP
the total ATP produced is around
32-34 molecules
the final cytochrome:
recombines electrons with hydrogen ions
bonds hydrogen atoms to oxygen
(3O2 needed)
(6H20 needed)
when the krebs cycle is in non-carb metabolism and it is dealing with LIPIDS the only difference is that
fatty acids break dwon into acetyl CoA rather than pyruvate then it enters the krebs cycle as usual
with proteins
amino groups are detached from carbon skeletons , chains converted into acetate, then enters Krebs cycle
cells use glucose in bloodstream to make
ATP
if blood glucose levels are low,
stored glycogen is broken down
glucose is converted to
glycogen
if excess glucose
the remainder is stored as fat
respiration and photosynthesis processes are
complimentary
Equation for photosynthesis
6CO2+6H20-->6O2+C6H12O6
in order to maximize photosynthesis leaves have (3 things)
wide blades
chloroplast streaming
individual pigment rotation
cuticle:
waxy coating to prevent water loss
water loss can be called :
transpiration
stomata
pores for gas and water exchange
guard cells
surround and control stomate operations
mesophyll
middle section where photosynthesis takes place
spongy mesophyll
lower layer of middle, more loosley packed so Co2 can move through to upper layer
palisade mesophyll
upper layer which is more ightly packed chlorplasts move around cell in both
Transpiration is
evaporation of water from leaf (water getting out of leaf)
Transpiration is controlled by
guard cells
excess water in guard cells cause them to
swell
swelling of guard cells
open stomata
Chloroplast Streaming is
chloroplasts circle in leaves to ensure equal access light and optimize photosynthesis
thylakoids
internal membrane system, flattened sacs
grana
stack of thylakod membranes, maximize surface area for capturing sunlight
stRoma
liquid solution around thylakoids, contains enzymes DNA RNA and ribosomes
3 different but most common types of chlorophyll are
Chlorophyll A & B, Xanthophylls, Carotenoids
Xanthophylls
bluish yellow
Carotenoids
orange
Light reactions are the absorbtion
of light energy
light reactions are the conversion of
light energy to chemical energy
Calvin Cycle is the
storage of chemical energy in sugars
calvin cycle reacion is
3CO2+3H20=>C3 H6 O3+3O2
