week 11 life processes

Question 1

Cellular Respiration

Answer 1

The process of converting nutrients into biochemical energy and releasing waste products.

Combustion reactions

Question 2

ATP

Answer 2

The universal currency of energy in biological systems

Question 3

Anabolism

Answer 3

Builds molecules

Question 4

Catabolism

Answer 4

Breaks down molecules into simple

Question 5

Metabolism

Answer 5

Sum total of chemical reactions that take place in the cell

Question 6

Energy Metabolism

Answer 6

Large molecules are broken down into smaller (amino acids, sugars, fatty acids)
Small molecules are then broken into simple units (Acetyl - CoA, Pyruvate, oxaloacetate)

Question 7

Aerobic Respiration

Answer 7

Photosynthesis

Question 8

Glycolysis

Answer 8

Cytoplasm of cells
Glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvate
net 2 atp

Question 9

Citric Acid Cycle/ Krebs/ TCA

Answer 9

Acetyl coA oxidised to CO2, NADH and FADH2

Question 10

Oxidative Phosphorylation

Answer 10

glycolysis and TCA Cycle products

NADH and FADH2 converted to ATP using ATP Synthase

Question 11

Where is energy stored

Answer 11

Glycogen, triglycerides and proteins

Question 12

Glucagon and Adrenaline function

Answer 12

increase blood glucose concentration

inhibits glucose converting to glycogen, fats & pyruvates

promotes the conversion of glycogen, fats & proteins to glucose

Question 13

Insulin Function

Answer 13

Decreases blood glucose concentration

converts glucose to fats, pyruvate and glycogen
