Week 3 Flashcards
Synthesis
NADH -> 2.5ATP, FADH2 -> 1.5ATP
Glycolysis
2ATP + 2NADH -> 5 ATP
Citric acid cycle
2 ATP + 8, 28 ATP after oxidative phosphorylation, total of around 36-38 ATP
Electromagnetic waves
Waves in electromagnetic field, electromagnetic radiation, occurs in packets called photons
Wavelength or frequency is correlated with
The energy of the photon
Velocity/Frequency =
Wavelength
Pigment
A molecule that absorbs visible light, each pigment absorbs only light of certain wavelengths, when a pigment absorbs light, it absorbs energy from the photons
Photosynthesis
The use of the light energy to synthesize carbohydrates out of CO2 and H20
Photosystem 1
Cluster of pigment with reactive center, middle there is a reactive center called chlorphyll A, absorbs light that is transformed to reactive electrons
Reproduction
An amoeba, a single called eukaryote is dividing into 2 cells each new cell will be an individual organism
Interphase
G1: cell growth
S period: synthesis of DNA, dna replication
G2: cell growth, preparation for mitosis
Mitotic phase: mitosis
Division of the nucleus
Mitotic phase: cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm
Mitosis
1) prophase
2) prometaphase
3) metaphase
4) anaphase
5) telophase
Prophase
Nucleolus disperses, chromatids form from DNA strands, spindles begins to form around centrosomes
Prometaphase
Nuclear envelope breaks up, spindle attaches to chromosome at centromere
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up at the plate
Anaphase
Chromosomes split, pulled to opposite ends, cell elongates, each former chromatid is now a chromosome
Telophase
Chromosomes disperse, nucleoli forms
