test 3 Flashcards
fexothermic
energy is released into surroundings as heat
less potential energy
endothermic
energy is taken up/absorbed
high potential energy
exergonic
high potential energy for a product
free energy in the beggining
spontaneously happening
ends up with a low energy product
ball falls down hill
endergonic
nonspontaneous action because it requires energy
low free energy
high energy product
push ball up hill
energetic coupling
energy produced by one reaction is used to drive another reaction
oxidation
when a molecule loses an electron
reduction
when an molecule gains electrons
phosphorylation
attaching a phosphate group to a molecule or ion
stomata
tiny openings on the epidermis of leaves
gas exchange by opening and closing pores in leaves
homologous
relatedness of two chromosome pairs (one from mom, one from dad)
sister chromatids
chromatids attached at the centromere
what dictates how strong a covalent bond is in context of how long the bond it is ?
longer=weaker
shorter= stronger
is exergonic spontaneous or nonspontaneous
spontaneous
is endergonic spontaneous or nonspontaneous
nonspontaneous
what reactions have lower energy products
exergonic
what reactions have higher energy products
endergonic
what reaction drives/catalyzes the other
spontaneous exergonic reactions release energy that is used to catalyze non-spontaneous endergonic reactions
when NAD+ converts to NADH, is NAD+ being reduced or oxidized, is NADH low or high energy product
reduced
high energy product
what determines if a covalent bond is polar or nonpolar
how strong/weak the bond is
- weaker bonds= nonpolar
-stronger bonds=polar
is there more or less potential energy in weaker bonds
more
The amount of chemical energy in a covalent bond is based on
Position of shared electrons
Distance from positive charges in nuclei (protons)
what does it mean if electrons are shared down the middle
a weak bond
how does phosphorylation catalyze reactions in an enzyme
phosphorylation causes a change shape in an enzyme
- energy released and phosphate group causes a change in the proteins shape to carry out endergonic reactions
-using released energy, we attach a phosphate group to the enzyme to activate it
what goes in glycolysis
glucose, atp, and NAD+
what goes out glycolysis
pryuvate, NADH, H+,ATP
What regulates glycolysis
NAD+, ATP, and glucose
what goes in pyruvate oxidation
pryuvate and NAD+
what goes out pyruvate oxidation
NADH, acetyl coA, c02
what regulates pyruvate oxidation
NAD+ and pyruvate
what goes in the Krebs cycle
acetyl coA, NAD+, FAD
what goes out the Krebs cycle
NADH, FADH2, C02, ATP
