24
Q

What does diffusion use?

25
What does osmosis do
Move water from high concentration to low concentration
26
What does facilitated diffusion use
Protiens, channel ions, carriers, glucose
27
What are the two types of endo cytosis?
Phagocytosis(eat), and pinocytosis(drink)
28
Gas and water exchange occur where?
The stomata
29
What does the mitochondria generate?
ATP energy
30
What is ATP?
the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level
31
Where is the site of photosynthesis?
Autotrophs
32
Where are chloroplasts found?
Palisade and spongy tissue and in gaurd cells
33
What is around chloroplasts?
A double membrane to control movement between chloroplast and the cytoplasm
34
What are chloroplasts filled with?
Fluid called stroma where carbohydrates are made
35
Where is the site of cellular respiration?
Mitochondria
36
What are the mitochondria surrounded by?
Flat outer membrane and a folded inner membrane. Folds are called cristae and increase the surface area available for making atp
37
What is mitochondria filled with?
Fluid called matrix
38
Formula for photosynthesis?
Light energy+ 6Co2+ 6H2O= C6 H12 O6 + 6o2
39
Formula for cellular respiration?
C6 H12 O6 + 6o2=6co2+ 6 H2O + ATP(36-38)
40
What is a metabolic pathway?
Step by step series of enzyme controlled reactions in a cell.
41
What is metabolism?
All the reactions within a cell to support or sustain life
42
What are anabolic reactions?
They use energy to make large molecules from smaller ones
43
What is a catabolic reaction?
Releases energy by breaking large molecules into smaller ones
44
What speeds up anabolic and catabolic reactions?
Enzymes are used because they lower the amount of energy needed for the reaction to start
45
What is oxidation?
When an atom or molecule loses an electron
46
What is reduction?
When an atom or molecule gains an electron
47
Reduced molecules with large amounts of energy have what?
Reducing power
48
What are thylakoid pigments?
Molecules that absorb and reflects some wave flanks of light
49
Plants appear to be green, because?
It is being reflected by the chlorophyl
50
What does cellular respiration do?
Breaks down glucose into useable energy for the cell
51
What does cellular respiration use? (intermediate products)
ATP, FADH2 NADH
52
What are the three methods of releasing energy?
Aerobic, anaerobic, fermentation
53
What is the kreb cycle?
An aerobic process within the mitochondrial matrix
54
Where does pyruvate move?
To the matrix of the mitochondria
55
What does pyruvate lose and what does it form?
Loses a carbon, and it forms CO2
56
What is the purpose of the Krebs cycle?
To transform the energy from pyruvate into reducing power of NADH and FADH2
