Lab Final Flashcards
__________ catalyze (accelerate) reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur
Enzymes
Enzymes bind to reacting molecules called ___________ and its site of attachment is the __________ site
- Substrates
2. Active
When an enzyme _________, it destroys its effectiveness by altering the active site and slowing the reaction
Denatures
Know what enzyme we used during the lab
Peroxidase (Turnip)
Know what substrate we used during the lab
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)
Know what optimum conditions mean for an enzyme
The range of values for environmental factors (such as temperature & PH within) which an enzyme functions best
Concentration Activity
Increase concentration-> Increase activity
Temperature Activity
Increase temperature -> Increase activity (until denurtaration)
PH Activity
depends on its environment
Know what a water bath is and what we use it for
warming up substances
Know the equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen) -> 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) + ATP + heat
Energy is stored in bonds of _______, which is later used as a direct source of energy for cellular metabolism
ATP
The 3 main stages of respiration include:
1.Glycolysis, 2.Krebs Cycle, 3.ETC
Know what organism we used to determine CO2 production during fermentation
yeast
What a fermentation tube is
P.S the one that looks like a weed bong
Know how magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) an activator and Sodium Flouride (NaF) an inhibitor affect glycolysis
activator: helps glycolysis
inhibitor: stops glycolysis
The experiment with pinto beans involved the use of phenol red. Using this chemical, how could we tell if respiration occurs?
It turned orange/yellow because of CO2
______ is a complex process that converts radian energy (light) to chemical energy (sugar)
Photosynthesis
Know the equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 12H2O (water) ->(light) C6H12O6 (glucose/sugar) + 6H2O (water) + 6O2 (oxygen)
