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
What waste is created in the Krebs cycle?
CO2
Where goes glycolysis take place?
cytoplasm
Where does Krebs Cycle take place?
mitochondria
Where does electron transport chain take place?
mitochondria
How many ATP’s are made from the electron transport chain?
34 ATP’s
What is the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport chain?
O2
What waste is created in the electron transport chain?
H20
Photosynthesis:
harvesting energy from sun, make organic food molecules using C02, minerals, H20
Steps in Photosynthesis
Light reaction, Calvin Cycle
What is the light reaction?
sun energy is converted to chemical energy
Different color pigments absorb…?
different wavelengths.
Chlorophyll is involved in
capturing light energy
What does chlorophyll do with light energy
it’s used to extract electrons from H20
During the light reaction, what waste is created?
O2
What else is produced during light reaction?
NADPH and ATP
What happens in the Calvin cycle?
NADPH and ATP used as energy source
What gas is used in the Calvin cycle?
CO2
what is the end product of the calvin cycle?
3 Carbon sugar molecules
what are the 3 Carbon sugar molecules used for
plant sugars and other organic molecules
