Systems Flashcards
1
Q
Amino Acids are…
A
Building blocks (monomers) of proteins
2
Q
Polymerization is…
A
The process of building large polymers out of small similar monomers
3
Q
Proteins function by…
A
- Cellular Structure
- Movement
- Internal transportation of molecules
- Defense
- Enzymes
4
Q
Aerobic cellular respiration
A
- with oxygen
- complete break down of glucose to CO2 due to the presence of O2
- 36 ATP of energy produced
5
Q
Anaerobic cellular respiration
A
- without oxygen
- Incomplete breakdown of glucose due to a lack of O2
- 2 ATP and alcohol fermentation or lactic acid are produced
6
Q
ADP
A
- Less potential energy
- 2 phosphate groups
- Requires energy to add a phosphate
7
Q
ATP
A
- More potential energy
- 3 phosphate groups
- Gives off energy when a phosphate is removed
8
Q
Light energy converts…
A
Light (kinetic) energy into ATP (chemical) energy
9
Q
Calvin cycle/dark reaction produce…
A
Sugar (glucose) from CO2
10
Q
Glycolysis occurs in…
A
All living things
11
Q
First and second law of thermodynamics…
A
- Energy is neither created nor destroyed, just changes form
- Every energy transfer results in the loss of some energy in the form of heat
12
Q
Chloroplasts are found primarily in…
A
- Eukaryotic cells
- producers
- leaves of the plant
13
Q
Electrons for the light reactions come from…
A
Water
14
Q
Oxygen in cellular respiration becomes…
A
Water, after being the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain
15
Q
Alcohol fermentation occurs when…
A
No oxygen is present and yeast is combined with photos in an anaerobic environment
