Enzyme and ATP & ADP Test Flashcards
What is the function of ATP in living things?
provides energy for the cells
what tp in atp stand for?
tri (3) phosphates
what bond of the atp molecule is broken in order to release energy?
the third phosphate (end)
what are the parts of the atp molecule?
adenine, ribose, & phosphate groups
where is the energy stored in the atp molecules?
in the phosphate bonds
how does an enzyme speed up a reaction?
raising the activation energy
what type of reaction occurs when the energy moves out?
exothermic
what type of reaction occurs when the energy moves in?
endothermic
which macromolecule does your body use first to make atp for you body’s cells?
carbohydrates
what is it called when a cell takes in a liquid?
pinocytosis
what is it called when a cell takes in a solid?
phagocytosis
define turgor pressure.
pressure in a plant cell, when the vacuole is filled with water
what is semi-permeable?
only some things go in and out
what is the purpose of a catalyst?
substrate that decreases the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction
what are the 4 themes of biology?
structures & function, evolution, homeostasis, systems
what are the 4 characteristics of living?
reproduce, made up of cells, adapt to change, ability to metabolize
what are the 4 macromolecules?
protein, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acid
what are the monomers to each of the 4 macromolecules?
protein: amino acids
carbohydrates: monosaccharides
lipids: fatty acids
nucleic acid: nucleotides
what are the polymers to each of the 4 macromolecules?
protein: polypeptide
carbohydrates: polysaccharides
lipids: phospholipids
nucleic acid: DNA
what are the 4 structures that EVERY cell has?
DNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm, & membrane
what is the difference between adapt & evolution?
evolution is genetic change over time, adaptation is how something changes to suit its environment
how is atp made?
cellular respiration
Which phase of mitosis do the sister chromatids seperate?
anaphase
What and when is cytokinesis?
The division of cells, at the very end
