Test 3 Flashcards
Law of thermodynamics
Second law
As energy changes form it goes from most usable (organized) to less usable (unorganized)
Energy in biological systems
Metabolism
Get, use, and store energy
Changing energy forms
A series of chemical reactions
Reactant-int-int-int-int-int-products
Energy in biological systems
Metabolism: Anabolic
Part of the metabolism.
Build big out of small, requires energy
Endergonic: Energy in
Energy in biological systems
Metabolism: anabolic: endergonic
Energy in
Energy in biological systems
Metabolism: Catabolic
Break big molecules into small molecules, energy released (cat story)
Exergonic: Energy out
Energy in biological systems
Metabolism: Catabolic: Exergonic
Energy out
Energy carriers: ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
Most important
(If we are hungry or tired we need ATP, more energy)
Energy carriers: ADP
Adenosine diphosphate
Same minus 1 phosphate
Less energy
Energy carriers: NAD
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
Electron buses
Energy carriers: NADH
NAD + H + e –> NADH
Reduction
Energy carriers: FAD
Flavin adenine dinucleotide
Precursor: Riboflavin
Carries electrons
Oxidized
Energy carriers: FADH2
Reduced
Energy carriers: NADP
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
Plants and photosynthesis
Energy carriers: NADPH
NAD + H + e
Oxidation
Follow H ___ —> H = Reduction
H ---> \_\_\_ = Oxidation
Taking away electron
Reduction
Follow H ___ —> H = Reduction
H ---> \_\_\_ = Oxidation
Adding an electron
Photosynthesis: Function
Takes light energy to make chemical energy (glucose)
Photosynthesis: Reactants
Sunlight, chlorophyll, CO2, H2O
Photosynthesis: Products
O2, H2O, C6 H12 O6 (glucose)-most important
Photosynthesis: Formula
6 CO2 + 12 H2O —> C6 H12 06 + 6 02 + 6 H2O
Photosynthesis: Light dependent pathway
Reactants (oxidized form)
Water, NADP, ADP, + (chlorophyll)&(sunlight)
Photosynthesis: Light dependent pathway
Products (reduced form)
Oxygen, NADPH,ATP
Photosynthesis: Light independent pathway (Calvin cycle) linked to dependent pathway
Carbon dioxide, NADPH, ATP
Photosynthesis: Light independent pathway (Calvin cycle) linked to dependent pathway
Products
C6 H12 O6(glucose), NADP, ADP
