Q

Name the principles of metabolic pathways

A
  1. Complex chemical reactions occur in a series of separate, intermidiate reactions that form a metabolic pathway
  2. Each pathway is catalyzed by a specific enzyme
  3. Most pathways are similar in all organisms
  4. In eukaryotes, most pathways are compartmentalized, making certain reactions occur in certain organelles
  5. key enzymes will either inhibit or activate which will determine the speed of the reaction

To keep the cycle going

28
Q

Where does the CO2 go?

A

Used in photosynthesis

29
Q

Where does the electron transport chain take place?

A

Mitochondrial matrix

30
Q

What is the final electron acceptor?

A

Oxygen

31
Q

Describe the order of transformations in the electron transport chain

A

NADH->NAD+ + H+

FADH2-> FAD

2H+ +1/2O2->H2O

32
Q

What are the two ways that ATP gets synthesized?

A

Substrate level phosphorylation

Chemiosmosis

33
Q

What happens in substrate level phosphorylation?

A

Phosphate + Substrate bind to active site of enzyme, turning ADP to ATP

34
Q

What happens in chemiosmosis

A

Hydrogen gradient is used to phosphorylize ADP to ATP

Also uses proton gradient (low and high concentration) where proton moves through ATP synthase and catalyzes in reaction, allowing motor protein to move

35
Q

During what process is the most ATP made?

A

electron transport

36
Q

What is released in cellular respiration?

A

CO2

37
Q

What process does CO2 go to?

A

40
Q

A

thylakoid

41
Q

What is used in photo synthesis?

A

42
Q

What is created in photosynthesis

A

NADPH (photosystem I)

ATP (photosystem II)

43
Q

What happens in photosynthesis?

A

Photon with the correct wavelength brings energy which is passed to chlorophyll to chlorophyll until the center.

Specialized chlorophyll get the energy which turns the electrons to their excited state to become chemical energy

44
Q

Where is the electron from in photosystem I?

A

photosystem II

45
Q

Which pathway takes place in photosystem I?

A

cyclic pathway

46
Q

What is in photosystem II?

A

Oxygen
Reaction center chlorophyll

47
Q

How is chemiosmosis related to light reactions?

A

chemiosmosis allows ADP to phosphorylize to ATP using proton gradient

48
Q

Which pathway makes more ATP than NADPH?

Noncyclic or Cyclic

A

cyclic

49
Q

What are the three procceses of the calven cycle

What is cAMP?

A

second messenger

made by adenyl cyclase
