In ___________, ATP production is very low and there is a buildup of lactic acid as a byproduct
|
Anaerobic respiration
|
|
In anaerobic respiration gluecose is broken down into _______ _________
|
Lactic acid
|
|
In the Nazi gas chambers, ___________ was used to cause death as this gas which blocks the enzyme that transfers hydrogen to oxygen
|
Hydrogen cyanide
|
|
Hydrogen cyanide inhibits ________ _________ by blocking the enzyme that transfers hydrogen to oxygen
|
Aerobic respiration
|
|
When you eat food, your body utilizes the ________within it to make carbon dioxide and water
|
glucose
|
|
In physical exercise _________ provides the chemical energy to power muscle contractions
|
ATP
|
|
Enzymes accelerate chemical reactions but remain _________ themselves
|
Unchanged
|
|
___________. are proteins that facilitate biochemical reactions
|
enzymes
|
|
Your body is only a temporary home for hydrogen, oxygen, and _________ atoms
|
carbon
|
|
The French scientist, Antoine Laviosier, developed the Law of ________ to describe the fact that matter cannot be created nor destroyed
|
Conservation of Matter
|
|
Compare and contrast anaerobic and aerobic respiration
|
aerobic and anaerobic respiration are the processes by which animals make energy from the conversion of carbohydrates into water and carbon dioxide. Aerobic respiration requires the presence of oxygen to produce ATP. Anaerobic repiration can occur in the absence of oxygen, but only produces 5% of the ATP as aerobic respiration, and can lead to the build-up of lactic acid
|
|
In ___________, ATP production is very low and there is a buildup of lactic acid as a byproduct
|
Anaerobic respiration
|
|
How is aerobic respiration related to photosynthesis?
|
Respiration and photosynthesis can be thought of as interrelated chemical processes. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are used to produce energy (carbohydrates) and oxygen. Respiration requires carhobydrates and oxygen to produce energy (stored as ATP) with the byproduct of carbon dioxide
|
|
In anaerobic respiration gluecose is broken down into _______ _________
|
Lactic acid
|
|
Describe the Law of Conservation of Matter. Explain how Earth can be considered a closed system and give an example from class/text which illustrate the effect of anthropogenic environmental contamination of human and animal health
|
The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter is neither gain nor lost in a chemical reaction, but that elements are only rearranged with an input or release of energy.
Earth can be considered closed system as most all of the elements here are cycled, and thus man-made chemicals stay in the environment, to be utilized again and again. In Missouri, it was discovered that men were experiencing low sperm count, which was most likely a result of the inputs of farm chemicals into the local drinking water. Beluga whales living in the St. Lawrence Seaway were discovered to have a very high cancer rate. These cancers were linked to the interaction of the many chemicals to be found polluting this waterway. Although individually these chemicals may not cause cancer, their interaction could potentially have serious consequences to wildlife including the whales. |

|
Hydrogen cyanide
|
|
What are enzymes and what are their properties?
|
Enzymes are proteins that have complex structures allowing them to catalyze highly specific biological reactions. Enzymes contain active sites that bind the compounds involved in the chemical reaction, substrates. Enzymes remain unchanged during the chemical reactions even thought they facilitate changes in teh substrate. An enzymes function can be affected by inhibitors which prevent the enzyme from binding the substrate normally.
|
|
Discuss 2 inhibitors of aerobic respiration. Tell how they inhibit and what is the end result to the organism
|
Hydrogen cyanide: Is a competitive inhibitor for one of the enzymes responsible for the transfer of hydrogen to oxygen. It kills the same way as suffocation does.
Carbon monoxcide: this exhaust gas kills by disrupting aerobic respiration. It has the ability to displace oxygen from binding to hemoglobin. It is 200x stronger affinity to hemoglobin than oxygen. It results in oxygen deprivation killing the organism. |
