Exam 3 Flashcards
What is the general equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2→ 6CO2+ 6H2O
What are the four stages of cellular respiration?
- Glycolysis
- Break down of Pyruvate
- Citric Acid Cycle
- Oxidative Phosphorlylation
True/False
Energy Investment is when ATP is used to make a chemical reaction happen
True
What stage of cellular respiration does not produce ATP?
Break down of Pyruvate
Why does cellular respiration not stop at glycolysis?
It doesn’t produce enough ATP
Describe how the electron transport chain produces an H+ electrochemical gradient
NADH and FADH2 pump their ions into the innermembranse space to make the H+ gradient
How does ATP synthase use H+ electrochemical gradient to make ATP?
ATP sunthase uses the H+ gradient to pump the ions back and phosphorylate ADP to make ATP.
What is the chemical equaiton for photosynthesis?
Light + CO2 + H2O → C6H12O6 + O2
Which step of cellular respiration happens in the cytosol, rather than the mitochonrial matrix?
Glycolysis only
Where does photosynthesis occur?
In the cholorplasts
Gamma rays are associated with the violet side of the color spectrum and frequency waves.
High
Do NADH and NADPH have the same function?
Yes
What two phases is photosynthesis broken down into?
Light Dependant and Light Independant
Light and Dark reactions
What are three ways cells can signal to eachother?
Autocrine, Paracrine, Endocrine
What are the three stages of cell signaling?
Receptor activation
Signal Transduction
Cellular Response
What happens during receptor activation?
Ligand binds to receptor, this causes conformational change… once released the receptor is no longer activated
What is Phosphorylation?
Adding a Phosphate
What are three types of cell receptors?
Enzyme linked
G-Protien
Ligand gated ion channels
Signal Transduction
Series of reactions that lead to a cellular response
What are the advantages of cAMP?
Signal amplification, speed
Hornmonal Signaling
Chemical Messenger produced in one cell or gland that has an effect on distant targe cells
Apoptosis
Programmed cell death
What four criteria must genetic material have?
Information
Replicaiton
Transmission
Variation
What are the 5 levels of DNA structure?
Nucleotides (building blocks)
Form and Strand
Forms double helix
Chromosomes
Genome
