Exam 2 Flashcards
Redox
-Electrons are moving
-Oxidation is loss
-Reduction is gain
-Energy transfer
Photosynthesis
-C02+H2O->Glucose Oxidation
Gibbs Free Energy
-potential energy of molecule
-bonds of molecule store energy C-H(nonpolar=energy)
-property of molecule
Active Site
Where substrates bind
Enzymes
-lowers activation energy
-link receptors
Kinases
-an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to a specified molecule
Lysosome
-animal cells only
-the recycling center
-enzymes present that hydrolyze molecules
-acid hydrolases
Cytoskeleton
-cell skeleton
-system of protein fibers
-provide cell shape and stability
-helps move materials around the cell
-organized all organelles in the cell
Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes
-cell membrane
-cytoplasm
-ribosomes
-DNA
-chromosomes
Nuclear Pore Complex
-30 proteins
-connects nucleus to cytoplasm
-allows selective transport of molecules in and out of nucleus
Plasmodesmata
-shares ER materials
Energy Transfer
-transfer of electrons
-phosphorylation
