BIO TEST 2 Flashcards
Potential energy
stored energy
Kinetic energy
motion energy
Chemical energy
stored in chemical compounds and is released from a chemical rxn.
mechanical energy
the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that does work.
Law of thermodynamics
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another
-Energy cannot be changed to another without a loss of usable energy
Entropy
Second law of thermodynamics
- Energy transformation makes the universe less organism and more disorder
- chaos and disorder
ATP
..
Free energy
The amount of energy available
How is free energy calculated
I subtract the energy of the reactants from that of the products
Exergonic
Energy is released and Delta G negative
-Products have less free energy reactance
Endergonic
Requires input of energy and Delta G is positive
-Products have more free energy than reactants
Metabolic pathway
Every step of the metabolic pathway has a different enzyme that is unique to the previous substrate
Oxidation
Loss of electrons
Reduction
Gain of electrons
Metabolism
Is the sum of all chemical reactions that occur in a cell
Cellular respiration formula
Glucose + oxygen= Co2 + water + ATP
Reactants of CR
Oxygen and glucose
Products of CR
Water, carbon dioxide and Energy
Where does glycolysis occur
In the cytoplasm
What is glycolysis
The breakdown of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate
What happens in the Krebs cycle
Series of oxidative reactions occur that produce one ATP and carbon dioxide per turn
- Acetyl CoA is converted to citric acid and enters cycle
- cycle turns twice because 2 acetyl CoA’s are produced per glucose
ETC
Makes 32-34 ATP per glucose molecule
Where does the krebs cycle occur
Matrix
Where does ETC occur
The cristae
Phases of cellular respiration
- glycolysis
- preparatory reaction
- citric acid cycle
- ETC
Heterotroph
Feed on other organisms
Autotrophs
Carry out photosynthesis, make their own energy
Photosynthesis
Convert solar energy into chemical energy
Equation of photosynthesis
Solar energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
Are there a lot of pigment chlorophyll
There are many pigments of chlorophyll
White light
The latency is the lightning but all other wavelength lights are being absorbed
Stomata
Carbon dioxide enters through opening in leaves
Chlorophyll
green pigment reflected in plants
