ATP formation in chloroplasts.

Glycogen is

a polysaccharide found in animals

Cellulose

a carbohydrate composed of many monomers

A carbohydrate that yields many monosaccharides when hydrolyzed is a


Polysaccharide

A simple sugar is composed of equal parts carbon and water, which gave rise to the general name of any sugar as a

Disaccharide

Energy can be extracted from what bonds in a sugar molecule?

both C-H bonds and C-C bonds

Carbohydrates are formed in the process of photosynthesis from the starting materials of

carbon dioxide and water.

Carbohydrates are burned in cellular respiration for the purpose of producing

energy for the cell.

1 glucose + 1 fructose combine to form _______ by ___________.

sucrose; dehydration synthesis

The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. What would be the molecular formula for a disaccharide linking two glucose molecules via dehydration synthesis?

C12H22O11

To calculate how many C, H, and O are in a polysaccharide, one can simply multiply the C, H, and O present in each monomer by the number of monomers contained in the polysaccharide, and then ADD one H2O molecule for every monomer.

False

High-fructose corn syrup consists of

55% fructose and 45% glucose.

To which sugar are human taste buds most sensitive?

fructose

The sugar transporters in the human gut are best at transporting which two in equal proportion?

fructose and glucose

From the fact that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) tastes sweeter than regular table sugar, one can conclude that

the percentage of fructose in HFCS must be higher than that in table sugar.

Lactose tolerance is highest in human populations

with a long history of dairy farming over many generations.

Starch functions in

energy storage in plants but not in animals.

Glycogen functions in

energy storage in animals but not in plants.

Cellulose functions in

providing structural support in plant cell walls.

The polysaccharides used for energy storage should be expected to be _______ to break down.

Easy

The polysaccharides used for structural support should be expected to be _______ to break down.

Difficult

Because starch and cellulose have different functions, they

must have different structures.

Compared to fat, glycogen is mobilized _______ and ________ to become exhausted as an energy source in human metabolism

more quickly; is faster

9; 4; 4

True or false? If ATPs third phosphate group were more tightly attached, ATP would be an even better energy donor.

False

Which of the following is least stable?

ATP

ATP is produced

by producers and by consumers.

Two species that harbor microbes capable of breaking down cellulose for energy are

termites and cows.

False statement: Starch and cellulose

are both structural components of plant cell walls.

Because it is branched and can be broken down to ________ by multiple enzymes at the same time, _________ is digested more quickly than _________.

monosaccharides; amylopectin; amylose

Which of the following dietary carbohydrates activate genes that promote fat storage most strongly?

sugars and amylopectin

The polysaccharides ________________ occur in plants, while ___________ occur(s) in animals.

C15H26O13

DOMAIN BACTERIA

• single-celled
• found everywhere
• some cause disease in
humans, but most are
beneficial

DOMAIN ARCHAEA

• single-celled
• often live in extreme
conditions, such as
environments that are
very hot, salty, or acidic


DOMAIN EUKARYA

• single-celled or
• multicellular, larger, more
sophisticated cells

“Pro-karyote”

“before nucleus” (no nucleus = no
membrane around the DNA)

“Eu-karyote”

“real nucleus” (with
membrane around the DNA)

Kingdom Plantae

• multicellular
• use sunlight to
produce sugars via
photosynthesis

Kingdom Fungi

• single-celled or
multicellular
• decompose and
digest dead
organisms

Kingdom Animalia

• multicellular
• eat and digest other
organisms

Protists

• single-celled or
multicellular
• catch-all category
for all remaining
eukaryotes
• includes many
kingdoms

All living cells share these key components:

• Nucleic acids (DNA) to store
genetic information for protein synthesis
• Proteins to perform diverse tasks (and
ribosomes to make proteins)
• Outer cell membrane to maintain a
suitable internal environment
• Ability to acquire energy from the
environment for ATP formation & the 3 types
of cellular work

Eukarya (Eukaryotes)

Larger cells,
compartmentation by
multiple inner membranes
for “multi-tasking”

Bacteria & Archaea

Small cells; lack internal
compartmentation
(i.e., have no membrane around the DNA, no
mitochondria, no chloroplasts, no Golgi apparatus, no
rough or smooth ER),
different species specialize in unique
biochemical pathways

Mitochondria

the eukaryotic cell’s powerhouses



Burn energy-rich molecules with O2
to gain lots of ATP energy for cellular work

All eukaryotes have mitochondria for
making lots of ATP: plants, animals,
fungi, protists

.

Prokaryotes do not have
mitochondria; many prokaryotes
cannot burn food molecules with O2
and instead use fermentation to
make small amounts of ATP.

.

Chloroplasts

solar energy collectors/converters



Role: Convert solar energy
into energy-rich sugars in
photosynthesis



Prokaryotes do not have chloroplasts;
(photosynthetic bacteria perform
photosynthesis using other structures)



Chloroplasts occur only in
