I: Anabolism Flashcards
biochemical pathways of anabolism:
-Dehydration Synthesis: Making polymers
-Biosynthesis: Building up of small molecules into larger molecules
–Energy is required: Photosynthesis
chloroplast is an example of?
anabolism
chloroplast (plants & protists)
-where does photosynthesis occur?
-how many membranes?
-Organelle where photosynthesis occurs
–The organelle consists of a triple membrane.
* Outer
* Inner
* Thylakoid
in anabolism, production of energy can happen with:
Photosynthesis: Dark Reactions (Light independent): Make food for plant
Photophosphorylation: Light reactions (Light-dependent): Reduce (recycle) NADH and Make ATP
anabolism: light
purpose?
where?
reactants?
products?
-Purpose: Producing Energy using a ETC and Chlorophyll
-Where: Thylakoids
-Reactants:
Light
H2O
NADP+
-Products:
O2
NADPH
ATP
anabolism: light
oxygenic vs anoxygenic
-Oxygenic (H20): Algae, green plants, cyanobacteria
-Anoxygenic (H2S): Archaea and Other bacteria
good news and bad news of anabolism light
-Good News: More ATP is made, Oxygen is made
–Bad News: NADPH is made
anabolism: dark
purpose?
where?
reactants?
products?
-Purpose: Producing food for the organisms
-where: stroma
-reactants:
NADPH
ATP
CO2
-products:
NADP+
Glucose (Starch)
the calvin cycle:
invest CO2
undergo multiple reactions
recycling NADPHs
which produce molecules of glycerol which lead to glucose
results for dark reactions:
-ATP and NADPH energy generated in light reactions are used up to build food for organism
–Products (Good News): Glucose and NADP+ regenerated
