25
certain molecule scan inhibit enzyme activity competitive inhibitor compete with the substarte for active site
INHIBITORS
26
organic molecule used for short term energy storage and transport in cell
ATP / ADENINE TRIPHOSPHASTE
27
all of chemical reaction occuring in a cell
METABOLISM
28
from large complex to small simple sample
CATABOLIC REACTION
29
from simple sample to large sample
ANABOLIC REACTION
30
what are the first law of thermodynamics
ENERGY CANNOT BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED CAN BE CONVERTED OR TRANSDUCED
31
what are the second law of thermodynamics
IN ANY ENERGY TRANSFORMATION THERE IS A LESSER AVAILABILITY OF ENERGY TO DO ADDITIONAL WORK
32
the loss of energy in process is a result of tendency for randomness or disorder
ENTROPY
33
if outside and reaction is spontaneous
EXERGONIC
34
if inside and reaction is not spontaneous
ENDERGONIC
35
what is highly negative in ATP
HYDROLYSIS
36
what happens when ATP is broken
ENERGY IS RELEASED AND FORMS ADP
37
what happens when ADP binds
ENERGY IS STORED AND FORMS ATP
38
what is the capacity to do work
ENERGY
39
not able to make their own food
HETEROTROPHS
40
able to make their own food
AUTOTROPHS
41
process of converting suns energy into chemical eneergy in the form of sugar or carbohydrate
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
42
organelle containing the pigment chlorophyll that absorbs light?
CHLOROPLAST
43
what is the two stages of photosynthesis
LIGHT DEPENDENT REACTION AND LIGHT INDEPENDENT REACTION
44
it requires photons from lights and takes lace in thylakoids
LIGHT DEPENENT REACTION
45
it does not require light and takes place in the stroma
LIGHT INDEPENDENT REACTION
46
takes place in the mitochondria for both animal and plant cell.
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
47
involves sugar and oxygen reacting to produce carbon dioxide water and energy in the form of atp
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
48
light from the sun is absorbed by colorful compounds
PIGMENTS
49
carry out light reaction
THYLAKOID DISC
50
carry out dark reaction
STROMA
51
absorbs green
CHLOROPHYLL
52
why does plants look green?
THEY HAVE LOTS OF CHLOROPHYLL
53
number of waves that pass a certain point per second
FREQUENCY
54
structurally only slightly different from chlorophyll A but its absorption spectrum is somewaht different
CHLOROPHYLL B
55
absorbs m ore blue and orange red and looks yellowish green
CHLOROPHYLL B
56
they absorb light from violet to the greenish blue range
CAROTENOIDS
57
appear in yellow and yellow orange to our eyes
CAROTENOIDS
58
do not participate in photosynthesis and may appear red , purple or blue
ANTHOCYANISIS
59
occurs in higher plants and give colors to flowers
ANTHOCYANISIS
60
pass along along light energy to chlorophyll A and act as antioxidants.
XANTHOPHYLLS
61
what gives the xanthophylss the ability to accept or damage electrons
MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
62
what does xanthophylls pigment produce?.
YELLOW COLORS AS IN FALL LEAVES
