Chapter 8 Flashcards
Ednergonic
Requires energy
Exergonic
Energy exits
Molecular structure of ATP
Nitrogen base - adenosine
5 carbon sugar - ribose
3 phosphates
Metabolism
Anabolism - build up
Catabolism - breakdown
Glycolysis
Catabolism of glucose
Aerobic
Fermentation
Anaerobic
Aerobic respiration
Glucose is the starting compound = creates pyruvic acid
Largest amount of ATP
Net gain of 38 ATPs
Anaerobic respiration
Without oxygen
Nitrate and nitrite reduction systems
Denitrification
Produces few ATP
Fermentation
Incomplete oxidation of glucose Uses organic compounds Small amount of ATP Can create alcohol, organic acids, dairy products, vitamins, antibiotics Either alcoholic or acidic
Alcoholic fermentation
Ethanol and co2
Yeast
Acidic fermentation
Lactic acid
Noncarbohydrate compound catabolism
Lipase - fats
Protease - proteins
Amphibolism
Catabolic or anabolic
Anabolism
Monosaccharides Amino acids Fatty acids Nitrogen bases Vitamins
Photosynthesis
Two phases
Light dependent and light independent
Light dependent
Chlorophyll - green
Carotenoids - yellow orange red
Phycobilins - red or blue-green
