Q

what are the three phases of glycolysis?

A
  1. prepatory phase: we add 2 phosphates to glucose, we use 2 ATP

34
Q

acetyl CoA (2 C) + oxaloacetate (4C) –> ciitrate 6C molecule

ETC: inner mitochondrial membrane

36
Q

what is the final electron acceptor in ETC

A

oxygen

37
Q

describe the two components of ATP synthase

A

The F0 subunit forms a channel (in inner mitochondrial membrane like ETC) that rotates as protons pass through it

The F1 subunit then uses this rotational energy to catalyze the synthesis of ATP
Where ATP is generated

38
Q

what are the final products of the ETC in cellular respiration

A

28 ATP, 6 H2O

39
Q

what is fermentation

A

fermentation is the process in which we extract energy from fuel molecules without the presence of oxygen
- do not rely on oxygen as a final electron acceptor
- instead they use organic molecules as the final electron acceptor

A

pyruvate

41
Q

in ehtanol fermentation what is the final electron acceptor

A

acedltedhye

44
Q

where do the dark reactions/ calvin cycle take place?

A

stroma of chrlorplast

45
Q

what are the inputs and outputs of the light reaction and the dark reaction

A

light reaction:
- input of water
- ouput of O2

dark reaction:
- input of CO2
- output of sugar

46
Q

what is the photosynthetic pigment

A

chlorophyll

47
Q

what is a reaction centre and their role

A

pair of chlorophyll pigments
- they change photons (light energy) into chemical energy

48
Q

The regeneration phase of the Calvin cycle regnerates______ molecules of _______ from _______ molecules of ________.

A

3 RuBP
5
triose

49
Q

can white plants perform photosynthesis

A

no they cannot because they lack any pigment so therefore they must use the help of fungi

50
Q

what are the roles of PSII and PS1

A

PSII: absorbs light and then pulls electrons from water
PSI: absorbs light and produces electrons donor needed to reduce NADP+

51
Q

what is the Z scheme

A

in the photosynthethic ETC is describes the relationship with energy between the two photosystems

52
Q

what is cyclic electron transport

A

electrons reenter the ETC, electrons from photosystem I are redirected from ferredoxin back into the ETC
ROLE: generate more ATP

53
Q

WHEN are ROS more likely to occur?

A

when the light density is too high

54
Q

what are the two defence mechanisms to ROS?

A
  1. Antioxidants: detoxify ROS
  2. Xanthophylls: yellow orange pigments that convert excess light energy to heat and therefore reducing the rate at which electrons enter the ETC
55
Q

what are two photosynthetic challenges

A
  1. excess light energy
  2. photorespiration
56
Q

what is photorespiration

A

when rubisco binds to O2 instead of CO2 during the calvin cycle

57
Q

what is a defence mechanism for photorespriation?

A

c4 plants increase the amount of CO2 around rubisco to increase the change of rubisco binding to CO2 rather than O2

58
Q

photosynthetic effecienty

A

how much light is acc turned into chemical energy (max 4%)

59
Q

what is horizontal gene transfer

A

transfer of genetic material
1) DNA transfer by conjuction: two cells closely alligned theres a bridge and DNA passed through the bride formed between the cells
2) DNA transfer by transformation: no contact, DNA released into the environment by dead cells is taken up by a recipient cell
3) DNA transfer by transduction: DNA is transferred from a donor to a recipient cell by a virus (virus transfers genetic material from one bacterium to another)

60
Q

what is a harpoon DNA

A

a stray piece of DNA

61
Q

What are the two theories of evolution of photosynthesis in eukaryotes?

A
  1. Horizontal gene transfer
  2. duplicarion and divergence
62
Q

explain hypothesis 2 of evolution of photosynthesis

A

endosymbiosis: cyanobacterium was engulfed by an ancient eukaryotic cell

63
Q

why does cell division occur (4 reasons)

A

growth, cell replacement, healing, reproduction

64
Q

nondisjunction results in:

A

extra or missing chromosomes

65
Q

why is the cell cycle regulated

A

so that cell division occurs only at appropriate times and places

66
Q

what is cancer

A

cancer is uncontrolled cell division that results from mutations in genes that control cell division

67
Q

What is the difference between nondisjunction I and nondisjunction II

A

Nondisjunction I: failure of homologous chromosomes to separate in anaphase I

Nondisjunction II: failure of sister chromtids to separate in anaphase II

  1. jack o lanterns
  2. death caps
  3. false morals
  4. destroying angels

A

asexually and sexually

72

no they are single celled

76
Q

what are mycorrhizal fungi

77
Q

what are two challenged fungi face in completing their life cycles?

A
  1. maintaining genetic diversity
  2. dispersal
78
Q

what does parasexual mean?

A

parasexual describes the crossing over process
-does not undergo meiosis

79
