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
Light reactions _______ solar energy into ______ energy
- CONVERT ( remember, conversion is NOT the same as making it)
- Chemical
The Calvin Cycle occurs in the ______
stroma
Calvin cycle use the energy produced by the _____ _________
light reactions
Calvin Cycle synthesizes sugar from ______
CO2
Name the 3 Redox reactions
1) oxidation-reduction AKA redox
2) oxidation
3) reduction
Whats an oxidation-reduction aka redox?
the transfer of electrons, when atom A electrons are going to atom B.
Whats an oxidation?
Loss of electrons
Whats a reduction?
Gain of electrons
Potential energy can be stored in an object based on its ________
position
Electrons can store _____ or ______ potential energy based on their position. (like an electron occupying an orbital; 8 electrons etc)
- more
* less
What does it mean for an electron to be in an “ Excited state?”
It means that it has more stored energy
Why would electrons try to release their extra store energy?
because they are less stable, so they will absorb it, and TRY get rid of it.
Energy from sunlight excites electrons in chlorophyll molecules to a higher _____ ________
energy state
The closely packed arrangement of _______ molecules in an antenna complex facilitates the transfer of high-energy electrons from one _______ molecule to another (slide pic)
- chlorophyll
* pigment
High energy electrons from chlorophyll are transferred to the electron _______ _______
transport chain
