Exam 3 Lecture Notes Flashcards
Plants
life depends on plants
4 things about plants
life depends on plants, photosynthesis; plants absorb carbon pollution, plant diversity, role in ecosystem
3 Characteristics of plants
photosynthesis, cell wall, alternation of generations
Plants alternated between the…?
gametophyte and the sporophyte generation
Gametophyte 1N
produce gametes 1N
Sporophyte 2N
produce spores 1N
What are the 5 trends in plant evolution
Vascular, Seeds, water loss, flower/pollinators, change from gametophyte to sporophyte stage
4 major plants groups
Bryophytes, Pterophytes, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms
What are bryophytes?
mosses and liverworts
What are pterophytes?
vascular plant that produces spores instead of seeds
What are gymnosperms?
(cone-bearing plants)
Angiosperm what are they?
flowering plants
Cellular respiration
done by both plants and animals; havesting energy from food
Photosynthesis
harvesting energy from the sun’s energy
ATP
bonds are store in the 3 phosphates
Energy is absorbed each time phosphate is broken from the molecule. True or False?
False, energy is released
what requires ATP?
muscle contractons; transporting molecules; some enzyme reactions
Steps in Cellular respiration
Glycolysis, The Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain,
Glycolysis
glucose splits into 2 pyruvic acid molecules
The Krebs Cycle
pyruvic acid broken down into CO2
Electron Transport Chain
electron carriers release their electrons to provide energy, this creates a H+ pump, creating more energy which creates lots of ATP molecules
Where do electrons transfer to in Glycolysis?
NADH
How many ATP are made in glycolysis?
2 ATP’s but ATP is also used
How many ATP
s are made in the Krebs Cycle?
2
