Exam 3 Flashcards
CO2 enters and O2 exits the leaf
stomata
_____ CO2 needs water to make carbohydrates and make oxygen as a by-product
plant
green pigment molecule within
chlorophyll
found in plant and green algae
Mg2+ is an important component in chlorophyll
chlorophyll a and b
reactant
light
Co2
2H2A
Product
carbohydrate (CH2O) and oxygen (H2O)
chlorophyll
energy capturing molecule
Photosystem I and II
wavelength at which they receive photons
Photosystem 2
680 (appeared first)
Photosystem 1
700 (appeared second)
converting of solar energy (photon) to chemical energy
photosynthesis
Steps of photosynthesis
photosystem II—plastoquinol(Q8H2)—cytochrome b6/complex—photosystem I—Ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR)
Calvin cycle
Rubisco enzyme(found in plant and helps in Calvin cycle)
Rubisco enzyme
the most abundant protein on the planet
The product of C3 plants is
3-phosphoglycerate
the product of C4 plants is
oxaloacetate
microtubule
alpha and beta tubulin, nucleotide is GTP
form helix structure(spyro around) and have positive and negative ends
microtubules
Function as cytoplasmic microtubules and axon microtubules
microtubules
G actin monomers, plus and negative ends but will need ATP hydrolysis in order to form larger polymers
microfilament
function as muscle contraction, cell locomotion, maintain cell shape and intercellular transport
microfilament
8 G protein joined end to end that staged overlaps, 6 classes of protein.
intermediate filament
intermediate filament
for structure support and helps maintain cell shape.
function as cell movement, cell division, and organelle movement within the cell
cytoskeleton
3 main type of bacterial cytoskeleton are
Mre B, Ftsz and Crescentin
crescentin
regulate cell shape
