Respiration and Photosynthesis Flashcards
If the products have more energy than reactants….
Then energy must be supplied
If the products have less energy than reactants…
Then energy must be released
Activation Energy
The energy must be processed by a molecule in order for it to undergo a chemical reaction
Catalysts (lower/increase) activation energy
Lower
Active Site
The region of an enzyme surface to which a specific set of substrates bind
Why don’t reactions go out of control?
Feedback Inhibition
Feedback Inhibition
The control mechanism; an increase in the concentration of the same molecule inhibits the synthesis of that molecule
ATP is made in the….
Mitochondria/Chloroplasts
Simple Sugar
3-6 carbons
Monosaccharides
Simple Sugar
Transport Molecules
Disaccharides
Lactase Enzyme Inefficiency
Lactose Intolerance
Storage/Structural Molecules
Polysacchardies
Long term energy storage
lower water content
How are polysaccharides stored in plants?
Starch
