EXAM 2 Flashcards
Transport energy is not always released where you need the energy at. TRUE or FALSE
TRUE
What kind of classes of molecules are used to transport energy?
ANY cells; It is universal to all cells (prokaryotic cells/ Eukaryotic cells)
Electron carriers are also known as
Energy Carrier rmolecules
ATP: What Is It & Why Is It Important?
For your muscles – in fact, for every cell in your body – the source of energy that keeps everything going is called ATP. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the biochemical way to store and use energy.
Chemically, ATP is an adenine nucleotide bound to ____ __________.
3 phosphates (bonds) and a ribose sugar
There is a lot of energy stored in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups that can be used to fuel ________ _________.
chemical reactions
In SOME instances, the second phosphate group can also be broken to form WHAT?
AMP; adenosine monophosphate, because AMP only has 1 adenine, 1 ribose sugar and 1 phosphate
NADH and NADPH are what?
High-energy electron carriers
NADP+ (+) 2 e- and H+ —> ________
NADPH (more energy rich, high electrons)
NAD+ (+) 2 e- and H+ —–> ________
NADH
The Calvin cycle takes place in the ________
stroma
The light reactions take place in the ___________
thylakoids
Each chloroplasts has a network of internal membranes that contain _____- _________ pigments, including the green pigment __________.
- light-absorbing
* chlorophyll
Name the 3 structures of the Chloroplast.
1) Double membrane
2) Stroma
3) Thylakoid disks
Whats a Stroma?
An internal fluid of the inner compartment of the chloroplast
What a Thylakoid disks?
A membranous disk with pigments and an internal thylakoid space
What would happen if we had Chloroplasts?
we would be green
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6 CO2 + 6 H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Photosynthesis is an inorganic carbon. True or False
True
Whats a Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight(solar energy) into chemical energy.
Name the 2 reactions of photosynthesis.
1) Light reactions(thylakoid disks)
2) Calvin Cycle
Light reactions capture _____ _______
light energy
Light reactions take place on __________
thylakoids
Light reactions use the pigment ______
chlorophyll
