25
factors that affect enzymes
pH, temperature, and cofactors
26
cofactor
a stimulating factor for enzymes
27
coenzyme
organic cofactor
28
ways of inhibiting enzymes
competitive and non-competitive
29
feedback inhibition
when the product of a pathway acts as an inhibitor for the beginning
30
catalyst
drives a chemical reaction, lowering Ea
31
Redox reaction
transfer electrons from one reactant to another
32
oxidized
loses an electron (+1 charge)
33
reduced
gains an electron (-1 charge)
34
partial redox
when molc go from non polar to polar bonds
35
NAD+
electron shuttle
36
what bonds are broken in respiration
C-C | C-H
37
how many e- can an enzyme remove at a time?
2
38
Where is the ETC located?
mitochondria
39
What are the 3 phases of respiration?
glycolysis citric acid cycle ETC
40
net gain of glycolysis
2 ATP 2 NADH 2 Pyruvate
41
bonds broken in glycolysis
C-H (2)
42
bonds broken in citric acid cycle
C-C (6) | C-H (4)
43
When is an electron added to FADH?
when the 1st C-H bond is broken
44
How is ATP produced?
the electrons move down the proton | gradient and energy (ATP) is released
45
What are the ETC complexes?
proton pumps
46
2 types of fermentation
lactate & alcohol
47
difference/similarity between the 2 types of fermentation
alcohol removes CO2 from pyruvate (lactate doesn't) alcohol forms ethanol, lactate forms lactate both attach H to NADH
48
inhibitors of respiration
ATP & Citrate
49
What is the stroma?
the chloroplast "cytoplasm"
50
What are thylakoids?
membrane-bound, disk shaped | structures in the chloroplast
51
What is the interior of the thylakoid called?
thylakoid space
52
Equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O + light → C6H12O6 + O2
53
the 2 stages of photosynthesis
light reactions & the Calvin cycle
54
properties of light reactions
opposite of ETC light energy produces e- (passed to NADPH) Occurs in thylakoid
55
properties of Calvin cycle
opposite of CA cycle electrons are removed from NADPH (attached as H to CO2) produces GAP occurs in stroma
56
What is a photosystem?
membrane bound complex of proteins and pigments
57
What is the reaction center?
2 chlorophyll a molc that light energy is transferred to
58
path of electrons in photosynthesis

59
Where do the electrons bind before excited?

61
Where does ETC send e- in plants?

62
What does ATP synthase do?

63
What is ferrodoxin (fd)?
the carrier from PS I to the second ETC | iron containing protein
64
What does NADP+ reductase do?
transfers 2 e- from ETC to NADP+
65
Cyclic electron flow
only involves photosystem II | occurs when [ATP] is low
