Definition
Respiration - A group of chemical reactions that harvest the energy stored in glucose. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Glycolysis - Respiration Reaction. Oldest chemical reaction. Occurs in cytoplasm. Splits glucose into pyruvate. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Photosynthesis - A Group of chemical reactions that convert light energy into stored chemical energy. |
|
|
Term
List the properties of light |
|
Definition
Absorption - Light is taken in Reflection - Light bounces off Transmission - Light passes through |
|
|
Term
List the parts of the Chloroplast |
|
Definition
Thylakoid -Housespigment molecules (chlorophyll carotenoids) Grana -Stacks of thylakoids Stroma - Enzyme floor of chloroplast |
|
|
Term
Describe Light Dependent Reactions and the two types of photosystems |
|
Definition
Light Dependent Reactions - Need light energy, occur in Thyalkoid/Grana, divided into photosystems. Photosystem 2 -Produces ATP (energy carrier) and oxygen (from water) Photosystem 1 -Produces NADPH (electron carrier) |
|
|
Term
Describe Light Independent Reactions |
|
Definition
Light Independent Reactions - Occur in Stroma and first step is Carbon Fixation (convert carbon dioxide into glucose) |
|
|
Term
Describe the Laws of Thermodynamics? |
|
Definition
Laws of Thermodynamics - Energy can't be created or destroyed. Energy can change forms, but usable energy will decrease. |
|
|
Term
Describe the two types of energy. |
|
Definition
Kinetic Energy - Energy for motion Potential Energy - Stored energy
|
|
|
Term
Describe the two chemical reactions for thermodynamics (Endergonic and Exergonic) |
|
Definition
Endergonic - Products have more energy than reactants. Energy must be put into these chemical reactions. Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction. Example: A + B + Energy = AB. Think of it like this -- Ender = Enter. Energy enters. Exergonic - Basically the opposite of the above. Energy is produced. Respiration is exergonic. AB = A + B + Energy. Think of it like this -- Exer = Exit. Energy exits or results. |
|
|
Term
Define enzymes, active site, and substrates |
|
Definition
Enzymes - Proteins whose function is to speed up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy Active Site -Location on the enzyme where substrates bind. Substrates - Molecules that bind to enzymes. |
|
|
Term
What are the common features of cells? |
|
Definition
Common cell features - All cells have a plasma membrane (membrane around cell), a cytoplasm (space between plasma membrane and ribosomes (protein makers) |
|
|
Term
Describe the two types of cells |
|
Definition
Prokaryotic - Bacteria cells with no nucleus or nucleoid (???) Eukaryotic - Plant and animal cells with a membrane-bound nucleus. Plant cells have: Chloroplast (site of photosynthesis), Cell wall (for structure), and the Central Vaculoe (for storage) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Active Transport -Movement of material with energy (ATP) from low to high concentration |
|
|
Term
List and describe the two types of molecules that make up the Plasma Membrane. |
|
Definition
Phospholipid bilayer - Phosopholipids arranged tail to tail to make up the bilayer. Proteins: Transport Proteins - Move things in and out of cell. Receptor Proteins - Will cause cell to act in a certain way Recognition Proteins - Basically the identification tag of a cell. |
|
|
Term
What is Passive Transport? |
|
Definition
Passive Transport - Movement of material without energy from a high to low concentration. Look for words like "natural movement" |
|
|
Term
Is respiration, what is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic? |
|
Definition
Aerobic requires energy. Anaerobic does not. |
|
|
Term
What is simple diffusion? |
|
Definition
Simple Diffusion - Going across the phospholipid bilayer. Passive Transport. |
|
|
Term
What is Facilitated Diffusion? |
|
Definition
Facilitated Diffusion - Going through the transport proteins. Passive Transport. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Osmosis -Water moving across thephospholipid bilayer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Hypertonic Solution -More solute (salt, sugar, whatever). Low water outside cell. Water moves from the inside of the cell to the outside, causing it to shrivel/shrink. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Hypotonic Solution - Low solute and high water outside of cell. Water moves into the cell causing it to swell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Isotonic Solution - Equal solute and water. No net movement. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Fermentation - Respiration Reaction. Follows Glycolysis if oxygen ISN'T present. Occurs in cytoplasm. Converts pyruvate into alcohol or lactic acid. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Kreb Cycle - Respiration Reaction. Follows glycolsys if oxygen IS present. Produces Carbon Dioxide, ATP, and NADPH. Occurs in Matrix (Enzyme floor of Mitochondria).
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Electron Transport Cycle - Respiration Reaction which ALWAYS follows the Kreb Cycle. Produces largest amount of ATP. Occurs in the Cristae (folds and grooves of Mitocohdria). |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Endocytosis - Active Transport. Moving from outside to inside of cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
