26
Q

What provides electrons to an ETC

A

Activated carriers

27
Q

Electron transfer results in what

A

Release of energy (redox reactions)

28
Q

Membrane proteins use the energy to pump what across a membrane

A

H+

29
Q

High-energy electrons move from one complex
to another in the ETC, then finally to what

A

O2 to form H2O

30
Q

Process of Electron transport in the inner membrane

A

High-energy electrons move from one complex
to another in the ETC, then finally to O2 to form
H2O
Energy is released each time an electron pair
moves
* That energy powers H+ pumps
* H+ pumped across

31
Q

The H+ pumped across during electron transport in the inner membrane results in

A

both a proton concentration gradient and an electrochemical gradient which is known as the proton motive force

32

A

ATP synthase

Q

The kinetic energy of H+
movement turns ATP synthase, what type of bond is formed

A

a high-energy phospho-anhydride bond
forms w/Pi + ADP => ATP

35
Q

1st step of cellular respiration

A

carbon from food is converted to acetyl-CoA

36
Q

2nd step of cellular respiration

A

Acetyl-CoA oxidized in CAC, carbon is released as CO2

37
Q

3rd step of cellular respiration

A

Many activated carriers are created that carry e-

38
Q

4th step of cellular respiration

A

e- movement fuels H+ pumps, and O is the final electron acceptor

44
Q

A

mitochondrial structure (multiple membranes)

45
Q

What do chloroplasts do

A

capture sunlight energy and convert it
to chemical energy

46
Q

Photosynthesis

A

Organics + O2  CO2 + H2O + Energy (sunlight)

47
Q

chloroplast structure

A

Stroma contains metabolic enzymes;
analagous to the mitochondrial matrix
* Three membranes are present
* The third membrane surrounds
thylakoids, which contain chlorophyll
* This membrane contains the enzymes
used to convert light energy to chemical
energy

48
Q

Energy from sunlight is used to create ATP and NADPH, which are then consumed to synthesize organic compounds and have two steps which are what

A

1) Light reactions, and 2) The Calvin cycle

49
Q

What happens in light reactions

A
  • The light reactions generate ATP & NADPH
  • These products occur as a result of light-activated
    photosystems that contain chlorophyll
  • Photosystem II produces ATP through generation of a PMF
  • Photosystem I produces NADPH through electron transfer
50
Q

Photosystem II

A

Photosystem II first produces ATP
* Light excites chlorophyll molecules, which excite electrons
* High-energy electrons are transferred to an ETC
* ETC provides energy to proton pumps to generate a PMF
* The PMF fuels ATP synthase, and ATP is made
* The electrons are transferred to plastocyanin

51
Q

Photosystem I

A

Photosystem I produces NADPH
* Electrons from plastocyanin moved to PS1
* Light again excites the chlorophyll, and electrons are energized
* High energy electrons are transferred to ferredoxin
* Ferredoxin transfers electrons to NADP+ to form NADPH

52
Q

What is the electron source for photosystem II

A

Water ( then those electrons move on to photosystem I)

53
Q

What does the removal of electrons (H) from water generate

A

O2

54
Q

What do the electrons fuel

A

ATP production and ultimately end up on NADPH

55
Q

Organics + O2  CO2 + H2O + Energy (sunlight)

A

Photosystems I and II Are the
Light Reactions
* Light, water, and oxygen have been used; CO2 is not
used yet, and organic compounds are not created yet

56
Q

The Calvin Cycle

A

light-independent reactions

57
Q

First step in the Calvin Cycle

A

The first step of the Calvin cycle is carbon fixation
* This CO2 to a 5-C sugar (RuBP) using the enzyme
RUBISCO!!!!!!* The 6-C compound is split to form two molecules of
3-phosphoglycerate (3PG)

58
Q

Second step in Calvin Cycle

A

Sugar formation is the second step
* 3PG is converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P)
* NADPH and ATP from light reactions are used to perform these reactions
* G3P is used to build various organic compounds and to regenerate RuBP

59
Q

Third step in calvin cycle

A

RuBP regeneration is the third step
* Also requires ATP from light reactions

60
Q

Of the G3P is produced, how many of every six molecules goes towards RuBP regeneration

A

5

61
Q

In building macromolecules, The sixth G3P is used to build macromolecules that are needed for what

A

Cellular structures, energy storage, or used
in cellular respiration to generate additional ATP

62
