  1. fish/some amphibians/aquatic insects- bacteria clean out of water since its their food
  2. mammal/some amphibians- NH3+H2O-> urea. nontoxic soluble in H2O
  3. reptile/birds/terrestrial insects-NH3->urea-> uric acid(pasty solid) dont want to waste water

34
Q

define simple equilibrium dynamics

A

state of balance between opposing forces where a system can operate at its best by adjusting to achieve its desired outcome

35
Q

define feedback inhibition

A

at [high] product binds to inhibition site on an enzyme and lowers its affinity to reactants so more of it needed and reaction is slowed

36
Q

photosynthesis formula and what is opposite?

opposite is cellular respiration

37
Q

light dependent reactions and light independent reactions

38
Q

define light dependent reactions

A

(LDR) energy from light is captured and used to create ATP+NADPH

39
Q

define light independent reaction and formula

A

(LIR)-ATP+NADPH+CO2-> sugar
use stored chemical energy from the light-dependent reactions to “fix” CO2 and create a product that can be converted into glucose

40
Q

what is photosynthesis done by?

A

plants, algae, photosynthesis bacteria, and cyanobacteria

41
Q

light definition

A

electromagnetic energy traveling in packets of enegry (photon) that move in waves (visible-400nm-740nm)

42
Q

how can photon become energy source?

A

it must strike electron in photosynthesis pigment molecule

43
Q

how is photon of light reflected or absorbed in pigment molecule?

A

reflected if frequency of photon is not equal to frequency of electron, absorbed of frequency of photon does equal frequency of electron. generates high energy electron=excited electron

44

ATP

52
Q

define noncyclic photophosphorylation and 2 products

A

light strikes AC in P680, energy->RCC, RCC passes two excited e- -> ETC, energy also used to split water generating both ATP and NADPH, ETC-> e- to low energy state on P700, light in P700 generates two excited e-
ATP and NADPH

56
Q

exergonic reaction vs endergonic

A

An exergonic reaction releases energy and is considered spontaneous, while an endergonic reaction absorbs energy and is non-spontaneous, meaning it requires an external energy input to proceed

57
Q

describe graph of exergonic energy

y axis- potential energy
xaxis- time
top left starts AB which experiences a catalyst making a hump of activation energy in line then continues back down to bottom right where A+B is

A

60
Q

describe process of AB -> A+B

A

AB binds to active site of ABace enzyme with coenzyme or cofactor. ABace will change shape and stress bond btwn AB until bond breaks and enzyme loses affinity to A+B and enzyme and A+B separate

61
Q

A

top left AB to downslide of A+B while crossing paths of bottom lefts C+D line upslide to CD. and endergonic rxn needs exer to occur

1FADH2-> 2ATP

65
Q

reduction vs oxidation

A

reduction-gain of electrons
oxidation-loss of electrons

66
Q

Absorption Spectrum: Describes the wavelengths that are absorbed or the light that is harvested.
Action Spectrum: Describes the wavelengths that actually drive photosynthesis.
