Unit 3 Flashcards
Explain how the laws of thermodynamics applied to cellular respiration
the first law staes that energy can be convented but cannot be destoryed. the second law states that no energy conversion is 100.
What is the universal compound that supplies energy needed for cells
ATP
Define potential energy
free energy, energy available to do work
Define kinetic energy
energy at work
Define endergonic reactions
energy in, forms bonds
Define exergonic reactions
break the bonds, free energy out
What compound joins to form ATP and where is the energy stored?
ADP and the energy is stored in the bonds between phosphates
How many high energy bonds are found in ATP and where they located
has 2 high energy bonds between the last 2 phosphates
What is a ~bond
an high engery bond
When is the most of our ATP produced?
when our body is at rest
What are the two compounds that are bonded together to form adenosine in ATP
Adenine + Ribose
Define catalyst
large polypeptides that speed up chemical reactions. they are not used up, destroyed, or permanently changed
What is the energy of activation in a chemical reaction? What supplies this energy in the lab or in the cell?
molecules frequently don’t reach each other and have to add energy to them to cause a reaction. in the lab, energy is added with heat. in the cell, enzymes supply the energy of activation
What is a substrate?
the reactants acted upon by the enzyme
Referring to enzymatic actions what are synthesis reactions
an enzyme joins substrates
Again, referring to enzymatic reactions what is degradation reaction
an enzyme breaks apart substrates
What is the activation site in a enzyme?
the actual site on the enzyme where synthesis or degradation occurs. brings substrates together for reaction to occur, provides a reaction surface that acts like a work bench
What kind of bond holds the substrate in place on the activation site of the enzyme?
van der waal bond
How many kcal are required to break a Van der waal bond?
1-2 kcal
What scientific project map the 23 pairs of human chromosomes
project genome
What are most of our gene formulas for?
enzymes
What factors can speed up enzymatic activity?
faster if substrate concentration is high
faster if temperature is increased
each enzyme has a preferred ph at which it operates
What happens to an enzyme in the surrounding temperature gets too high
the enzyme denatures, or falls apart and cant bind to a substrate
What is the importance of PH to enzyme activity?
each enzyme has a preferred ph, change it, and it the enzyme is deactivated
What are enzyme inhabitants?
prevent substrates from binding to the activation site of an enzyme
What is the effect of cyanide on humans?
cyanide blocks the activation sites on an enzyme needed to make ATP in cellular respiration : kills humans
What type of inorganic compounds are cofactors and what are their function?
minerals, assist an enzyme in forming products
What type of organic compounds are coenzymes and what is their function?
vitamins, co-enzymes accept electrons–pass them down– electron transfer chains–prducting ATPS
What are redox reactions?
If a substance loses electrons it is said to be oxidized. if subtance gains electrons its is said to be reduced
Which redox reaction loses electrons
oxidation
Which redox reaction gains electrons
reduction
What does OILRIG stand for
oxidation is losing; reduction is gaining
What are the three types of phosphorylation?
substrate phosphorylation, oxidative phosphorylation, photophosphorylation
Which type of phosphorylation is associated with glycolysis in the Krebs cycle with etc with photosynthesis
substrate phosporylation
List the three phrases of respiration and where each occurs
glycolysis-occurs in the cytoplasm
krebs- occurs in the inner compartment of the mitochondrion
electron transport chain- occurs on the cristae of the mitochondrion
What is the formula for cellular respiration
C6 12H 6O + 6O2 + 38 ADP + 38P –> 6CO2+ 6H2O +38 ATP’S, NET 36
What is glucose 6 phosphate
phosphorylated glucose with P added to 6 carbon
What is fructose 1, 6 Bi-phosphate
compound produced after glucose has been phosphorylated at the 1 & 6 carbons and then rearranged into phosphorylated frucoste
What is phosphoglyceraldehyde
PGAL
What is PGAL
Phosphoglycerldehyde
What is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide=bus
NAD
What is NADH+H
hydrogen bus
What is adenosine triphosphate
ATP, our engery
What is ATP
adenosine triphosphate
