BIO 111 EXAM 2 Flashcards
the breakdown of glucose to ethanol in yeast cells is referred to as:
fermentation
during winemaking, why does the ethanol content only reach 12-14% even when glucose abundant
excess ethanol becomes toxic to the yeast
animals can only use oxygen as the final electron acceptor in electron transport chain..T/F
true- cant be anaerobic
a photoautotroph is an organism that
uses light energy to make organic molecules “from scratch” (that is, from inorganic molecules)
the carbon that is found in a plant is added to the plant from
the carbon dioxide it “breathes”
carbon dioxide is reduced to form glucose in photosynthetic organism….T/F
true
where is the photosynthetic electron transport chain of plants located?
the thylakoid membrane
in the PH of the different compartments of the chloroplast were to be measured during electron transport, which compartment would be the most acid?
the thylakoid lumen
what is the source of extracellular matric (ECM) in animals?
it is produced by cells in the animal body
a glycosaminoglycan is a
polysaccharide
the major constituents of the ECM of animals are
polysaccarides and proteins
structural proteins make up
collagen + elastic fibers
all types of collagen fibers are made in all cells of the body?…T/F
false
the primary cell wall of plants is composed mainly of ____, the secondary cell wall may contain _____
celulose; lignon
cells from malignant tumors often break free from the tumor, to initiate a process called invasion. in order for a cancer cell to lose its attraction to other cells, which type of protein must lose its function
cadherin
which type of junction prevents leakage of acidic stomach contents across the epithelium in the stomach?
tight junctions
a gap function in animals has the same function as ___ in plants
plasmodesmata
which f the following structure found in plants epidermis serves as a function similar to that of the anchoring junctions in animal epithelium
middle lamella
which cell junction types are found in animals?
anchoring, tight and gap junctions
during what stage of cellular respiration is the most ATP synthesized?
oxidative phosphorylation
what role does O2 play in aerobic respiration
it is the final electron acceptor at the end of electron transport chain
which of the following is an example of cellular respiration?
all of the above: breakdown of glucose, fats, and proteins
place the following steps of cellular respiration in the proper order
- glycolysis
- breakdown of pyruvate
- citric acid cycle
- oxidative phosphorylation
check all of the following organisms that carry out cellular respiration
corn plant, human, bacterium, yeast
NADH is produced during:
glycolysis and the citric acid cycle
what drives the production of ATP during oxidative phosphorylation?
chemiosmosis, electrochemical gradient, oxidation of NADH + FADH, and ATP synthase
why is maximal amount of ATP that can be made by oxidative phosphorylation rarely achieved?
mitochondrion may use some of H+ electrochemical gradient for other purposes.
some NADH and FADH are used for anabolic pathways
