19
Q

Effect of exceeding optimal temperature on a plant and the effect on photosynthesis

A

The enzymes within the plants active sites denature and their tertiary structure is destroyed. Substrates can’t bind and photosynthesis is unable to be performed or not at a fast enough rate

20
Q

What is feedback inhibition

A

The product being made from an enzyme is used as a non-competitive inhibitor of the original enzyme to stop the production of that particular product

21
Q

Coenzymes involved in photosynthesis

A

NADPH+ and ATP

22
Q

Do plants gain or loose weight overnight?

A

All plants loose weight over night as their is no sun to photosynthesise as night so they can’t create energy yet they need to respirate which required glucose

23
Q

What is also the outputs of the light dependant reactions

A

The inputs of the light independent reactions plus CO2

24
Q

Factors which effect enzyme activity include…

A

Ph, temperature, presence of inhibitors, concentration of substrates and enzymes, presence of cofactors

25
Q

What is the purpose of folds of the Cristae of the Mitochondria

A

The folds increase the surface area to allow more chemical reactions to occur

26
Q

In which things does photosynthesis occur in?

A

Plants and algae

27
Q

What coenzyme does Rubisco rely on?

A

NADPH

28
Q

what happens to enzymes when exposed to heat?

A

Enzyme and substrate molecules gain kinetic energy allowing for more frequent collisions between substrates and active sites, hence more enzyme-substrate complexes are formed. Therefore, increasing reaction rates.

29
Q

what happens to enzymes exposed to excess heat?

A

enzymes denature meaning their 3-D conformational shapes change, hence the tertiary structure of their active sites are destroyed. Meaning enzyme-substrate complexes cannot form and reaction rates fall.

30
Q

what happens to enzymes after excessive heat loss?

A

enzyme and substrate molecules lose kinetic energy, so collision between active sites and substrates occur less often. Therefore, enzyme-substrate complexes are less likely to form and reaction rates fall. The effect is fully reversible with the addition of heat.

31
Q

What are cofactors?

A

non-protein molecules or ions that are necessary for the function of particular enzymes. Inorganic cofactors are not changed during the reaction and are firmly bound to the enzyme while organic cofactors (coenzymes) are altered.

32
Q

what are coenzymes?

A

small organic(non-protein) molecules that are necessary for certain enzymes to catalyse a reaction. They loosely bind with the enzyme to form the active enzyme only when the enzyme is acting on the substrate.

33
Q

what is a competitive inhibitor?

A

it mimics the substrate and competes for the active site.

34
Q

what is a non-competitive inhibitor?

A

binds to enzyme at location away from active site, but alters the shape of the enzyme so that the active site is no longer functional.

35
Q

what is allostery?

A

a form of non-competitive inhibition.

36
Q

what are reversible inhibitors?

A

attach to enzymes with non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds.

37
Q

what are irreversible inhibitors?

A

usually covalently modify an enzyme and inhibition can therefore not be reversed.

38
Q

what is photosynthesis?

A

the synthesis of organic molecules (eg.glucose) from water and carbon dioxide using light energy absorbed by chlorophyll.

39
Q

what organisms photosynthesise?

A

plants, algae and cyanobacteria

40
Q

what is the thylakoid?

A

membranes that form stacks (grana) which contain chlorophyll a and accessory pigments (site of the light dependent reactions)

41
Q

what is the stroma?

A

the inner membrane encloses fluid called stroma which is the site of the light independent reactions

42
Q

Light dependent reaction inputs and outputs?

A

inputs: light energy, 12H2O, NADP+, ADP + Pi.
outputs: 6O2, NADPH, ATP

43
Q

Light independent reaction inputs and outputs?

A

inputs: NADPH, ATP, 6CO2
outputs: NADP+, ADP + Pi, glucose, 6H2O

44
Q

what is rubisco?

A

an enzyme which captures carbon dioxide during the light independent stage of photosynthesis. It is the most common protein on earth!!!

45
Q

what are chloroplasts?

A

the site of photosynthesis in many plants cells and protists.
