Actual Unit 3 AP Biology Review Flashcards
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but only change form
First law of thermodynamics
Energy tends to go to a less ordered form or higher state of entropy
Second law of thermodynamics
A measure of disorder or randomness
Entropy
Break down larger molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy
Catabolic
Build larger molecules from smaller ones, using energy
Anabolic
How does an enzyme affect a reaction?
An enzyme makes a reaction happen faster and needs less energy to do so
Label the parts of the diagram (The second card)
You got this!
How does changing the pH affect an enzyme?
It can slow down or stop enzyme activity if the pH is too high or low
How does decreasing the temperature affect an enzyme?
It slows down enzyme activity
How does increasing the temperature affect an enzyme?
It speeds up the enzyme activity (up to a point), but can denature the enzyme if too high
How does adding more substrate affect an enzyme?
It increases enzyme activity until the enzyme is fully used
How does adding more enzyme affect an enzyme?
It increases enzyme activity by speeding up the reaction
How does adding a competitive inhibitor affect an enzyme?
It slows down enzyme activity by blocking the active site
How does adding a noncompetitive inhibitor affect an enzyme?
It slows down enzyme activity by changing the enzyme’s shape
Competes with the substrate for the enzyme’s active site, blocking the reaction
Competitive Inhibitor
Binds to a different part of the enzyme, changing its shape and making it unable to work properly
Non-competitive inhibitor
A substance binding to an enzyme producing a structural change in the enzyme allowing it to function
Cofactor
How does an activator effect an allosterically regulated enzyme?
Increases the enzyme’s activity by changing its shape
It works better
How does an inhibitor effect an allosterically regulated enzyme?
It decreases the enzyme’s activity by changing its shape so it works less or stops working
A process where the end product of a reaction pathway stops or slows down the enzyme that started the process
Feedback inhibition
How does feedback inhibiton allow a cell to manage its resources?
Prevents the production of too much of a product
Saving energy
Saves raw materials
Summary equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O + Light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Label the structures in the chloroplast (third one)
You’re doing great!
Shows the wavelengths of light that a pigment absorbs for photosynthesis
Absorption spectrum
Shows the overall effectiveness of different wavelengths of light in driving the process of photosynthesis
Action spectrum
Which pigments are most effective for photosynthesis? Least effective?
Most effective are chlorophyll a and b (blue and red)
Least effective is green light
Convert solar energy into chemcial energy in the form of NAPH and ATP
Light Reactions
Where does the light reactions take place?
Thylakoid membrane
