Q

how to adapt a respirometer for anaerobic respiration in yeast

A
  • measure co2 release
  • prevent oxygen entering by covering in oil
  • give supply of glucose
  • remove soda lime
19
Q

name 3 photosynthetic pigments

A

chorophyll a, b and carotene

20
Q

what is an accessory pigment

A

molecule that absorbs light and passes it onto chlorophyll a

21
Q

structure of chlorophyll

A

hydrophilic ring head with magnesium and hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail

22
Q

what does the absorption spectra show

A

the amount of light absorbed at different wavelengths by different pigments

23
Q

what does an action spectra show

A

the rate of photosynthesis at different wavelengths of light

24
Q

absorption and action have similar graphs what does this show?

A

light is trapped by pigments, pigments are needed for photosynthesis

25
Q

where does the light dependent stage occur

A

thylakoid membrane

26
Q

where does the light independent stage occur

A

stroma

27
Q

structure of a photo system

A

funnel shape with chlorophyll as the reaction centre

28
Q

role of membranes in photosynthesis

A
  • have electron carriers for an etc
  • helps set up an electrochemical gradient for chemiosmosis
  • have photosystems and atp synthase embedded
29
Q

what is photolysis

A

splitting of water using light

30
Q

what happens after electrons are excited in photosynthesis?

A

leave photosystem II, pass down an ETC generating energy to pump h+ across the gradient and enter photosystem I

31
Q

what happens to H+ from photolysis?

A

reduced NADP

32
Q

what happens to electrons from photolysis

A

replace lost electrons in photosystem II

33
Q

what do electrons do in non cyclic photophosphorylation

A

the reduce NADP

34
Q

products of light dependent reaction

A

ATP and reduced NADP

35
Q

what enzyme catalysed carbon fixation in LIR

38
Q

what do reduced GP form

A

GALP

39
Q

2 uses of GALP

A
  • regenerate ribulose biphosphate
  • convert to glucose, amino or fatty acids
40
Q

role of ATP in the calvin cycle

A

reduce GP

41
Q

role of reduced NADP in calvin cycle

A

oxidised to provide H+ and electrons for GP reduction

42
Q

why is the LIS not fully independent?

A

still requires products from the dependent stage

43
Q

fate of pyruvate in aerobic conditions

A
  • transported to matrix
  • link oxidises to form nadh + h+
  • co2 removed
  • molecule combines with acetyl coa to form coenzyme a
44
Q

role of the krebs cycle

A
  • to oxidise acetyl coa
  • to release energy
  • generates atp and allows oxidative phosphorylation to take place
  • produces nadh and fadh
