23
Q

How are polysaccharides broken down to provide energy

A

First hydrolyzed to glucose. Glucose then passes through glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the respiratory chain where its energy is captured in ATP

24
Q

How are lipids broken down to provide energy

A

lipids are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, an intermediate of glycolysis. Fatty acids are highly reduced molecules that are converted to acetyl CoA in a process called Beta oxidation.

25
Q

How are proteins broken down to provide energy

A

Hydrolyzed to their amino acid building blocks. 20 different amino acids feed into glycolysis or the citric acid cycle at different points

26
Q

wavelength

A

The distance between successive peaks of a wave train, such as electromagnetic radiation

27
Q

source of oxygen produced by photosynthesis comes from

A

H2O

28
Q

three processes of the calvin cycle

A

Fixation of CO2, Reduction of 3PG to form glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, regeneration of the CO2 acceptor.

29
Q

Calvin Cycle: Fixation of CO2

A

Initial reaction adds the one-carbon CO2 to an acceptor molecule. Immediate product in a 6 carbon molecule, which quickly breaks down into 2 three-carbon molecules.

30
Q

Rubisco

A

plants need a lot of this to perform enough photosynthesis to satisfy the needs of growth and metabolism. Is probably the most abundant protein in the world

31
Q

Calvin cycle: Reduction of 3PG to form glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate

A

Series of reactions involves a phosphorylation and reduction. The product is G3P which is a three carbon sugar phosphate, also called trios phosphate

32
Q

Calvin Cycle: Regeneration of the CO2 acceptor

A

Most of the G3P ends up as ribulose monophosphate, and ATP is used to convert this compound into RuBP so for every “turn” of the Calvin Cycle, one CO2 is fixed and the CO2 acceptor is regenerated.

33
Q

The calvin cycle

A

Uses ATP and NADPH generated in the light reactions to produce G3P from CO2. The G3P is used as a starting material for the production of glucose and other carbohydrates. Six turns of the cycle are needed to produce one molecule of the hexose glucose

The phosphate bond energy of ATP may be transformed into the energy in a magnetic field.

A

The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi is an exergonic reaction

A
