Purine
The bases adenine and guanine with double rings of nitrogen and carbon atoms
Stomata
Surface pores on plants surfaces that can be closed to retain water or open to allow the entry of CO 2, needed for photosynthesis and the exit of oxygen and water vapor

Telomeres
A region at the ends of the eukaryotic chromosomes where a specialized form of DNA replication occurs.
What enzyme produces ATP?
ATP synthase
Chemiosmosis
A process for making ATP in which energy stored in an ion electrochemical gradient is used to make ATP and ADP and P
What are light particles
A type of electromagnetic radiation consists of energy in the form of electric and magnetic fields.
What is regenerated in fermentation
NAD is regenerated in fermentation by donating the H from NADH to pyruvic acid
Bonds in DNA
Base pairs in DNA are attached to each other via hydrogen bonds. The base pairs are attached to the backbone by covalent bonds.
Product of Photosystem 1
Photosystem 1 finally produces just NADPH through another electron transport chain
Product of Photosystem 2
Photosystem II finally produces oxygen which goes into the atmosphere and also ATP through an electron transport chain and ATP synthase.
Types of Photosyntheis
1. C3 Photosynthesis
2.C4 Photosynthesis
3. CAM Photosynthesis
Semi conservative replication
Each daughter DNA copy contains one strand of parental DNA and one newly constructed strand
Helicase
6 ring protien that unzips DNA into 2 seperate strands
Single Stranded Binding Protein (SSB)
Bind to each single strand of DNA to stop them from reannealing (pairing again)
Primase
Synthesizes short RNA primers to start DNA replication
Polymerase
Strings nucleotides together to form a DNA strand
Sliding Clamp
Holds Polymerase onto DNA strand during replication
RNase H
Removes primers put there to start DNA replication
Ligase
Link short strands of DNA together to create one long continous chain
What serves as the template during DNA replication?
Each strand of the unzipped double helix.
What does the electron pump through the ETC?
Hydrogen Ions
DNA backbone
Made up of deoxyribose
Base Pairs in DNA
1.Adenine
2.Thymine
3.Guanine
4.Cytosine
Base Pairs in RNA
1.Adenine
2.Uracil
3.Guanine
4.Cytosine
The final electron acceptor in respiration?
Oxygen
Where does photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts. The chloroplasts contains the pigment called chlorophyll where it receives sunlight
What is the source of Oxygen in photosynthesis?
Water (H2O)
What is the final product of the original glucose in glycolysis?
Pyruvic Acid
X-Ray Diffraction
Method Rosalind Franklin used to show DNA was shaped like a double helix.
What information is carried by DNA
Carries the "blue print" to construct other components of cells...our genes
What enzyme combines with CO2 in the Calvin Cycle?
Rubisco (RuBP carboxylase)
What is regenerated in the calvin cycle?
ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)
What is the replication fork?
Is the split created by the helicases when the hydrogen bonds holding it together are broken
Leading Strand
Strand oriented in 3' to 5', is replicated continuously going towards replication
Lagging Strand
Is oriented in the 3' to 5' manner built in opposite direction of replication fork, is replicated in short strands that are joined by ligase
Role of topoisomerase
Helps releive strain put on DNA ahead of replication fork by helicase when it unzips the double helix.
When does fermentation occur?
Fermentation occurs if there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration. Fermentation occurs when molecular oxygen is not available
What is are telomerase?
Telomerase is an enzyme (it ends in -ase) and it reattaches telomeres to chromosomes
What is a telomere?
Telomeres are bunches of DNA on the end of chromosomes. They are kind of like glue because they help prevent deterioration of chromosomes. They also help to determine the longevity of a cell. When chromosomes do their thing, some telomeres break off.
What type of energy is light energy converted into?
Chemical Energy
What is needed for photosynthesis?
1.chlorophyll
2. Sunlight
3. water
4. carbon dioxide
DNA components
1. sugar (deoxyribose),
2. phosphate group,
3. nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine or guanine).
Light Energy is converted into what kind of energy?
Chemical Energy
Properties of Light
1. Intensity
2.Frequency or Wavelength
3.polarization

What is a photosystem?
A multisubunit complex found mainly in the thylakoid membranes of plants and algae, and in the cytoplasmic membranes of photosynthetic bacteria. It is primarily involved in capturing light to cause a series of redox reactions.
