23
Q

What makes pyruvate break down into acetyl COA and then react with OAA to begin Kreb cycle?

A

Coenzyme

24
Q

Where do we get the source of oxygen to make water at the end of electron transport?

A

Ventilation, the air we breath

25
Q

What is the point of phosphorylating a substrate?

A

So that the shape changes and an active side is ready.

26
Q

What is Chemiosmosis?

A

It is the production of H2O in the electron transport chain.

27
Q

What is needed for electron transport to take place?

A

Oxygen

28
Q

For each glucose in glycolysis how many ATP are produced and how many are used up?

A

4 produced

2 used up

29
Q

Discuss the production of ATP during cell respiration?

A

ATP s a high energy nucleotide which acts as a source for instant energy. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions which convert biochemical energy to ATP and release waste products. ATP is then used as a source of energy. One glucose will 38 ATP. There are 2 ATP at the beginning of Phaase 1 in glycolysis and then 4 come out at the end of phase two in glycolysis. The other 34 are produced in the electron transport chain.

30
Q

Explain the following terms relative to glycolysis: phospohorilation, lysis, oxidation and reduction.

A

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell. Phosphorylation of glucose is required to increase reactivity in order for the molecule to be split into two pyruvate molecules. Lysis means splitting so glycolysis mean “sugar splitting”. Lysis comes after phosphorylation.

31
Q

What molecule is the hydrogen acceptor of glycolysis?

A

NAD+

32
Q

What is ATP a result from>

A

The phosphorylation of ADP

33
Q

What is the hydrogen acceptor found at the end of the Kreb cycle?

A

FAD

34
Q

how many ATP produced at the end on electron transport?

A

34

35
Q

What reacts with what to start the Kreb cycle?

A

OAA reacts with COA

36
Q

What is the original source of the hydrogen ions accepted by ADP+?

A

Water molecules.

37
Q

What does the pyruvate pass in order to enter Kreb cycle?

A

Cristi and outer membrane of mitochondria.

38
Q

What other than electrons are used in electron transport?

A

Protons.

39
Q

What is Photosynthesis?

A

The conversion of light energy into chemical energy.

40
Q

What is the light spectrum from longest waves to shortest waves?

A 
Radio waves 
Micro waves
Infrared 
visible light 
Ultra violet 
x rays 
gamma waves
41
Q

Visible light spectrum?

A

red - violet

42
Q

Why are leaves green?

A

Because the chlorophyll inside the chloroplast absorbs all colours expect green which it repells.

43
Q

What is the overview process of photosynthesis?

A 
Light strikes
Photosystem 2 
Electron transports chain 
photosystem 1 
Calvin cycle
44
Q

What happens in Light dependent reactions?

A
  • A photon of light strikes the chlorophyll molecule.
  • Two electrons are excited to a higher energy level
  • The two don’t of back down to original but are grabbed by thlakiod membrane.
  • To replace electrons lost H2O is split and the hydrogen is sued in electron transport chain.
45
Q

Main results from Light dependent reactions?

A

O2 is released
H+ is fixed
e- replace those excited from chlorophyll
ATP is produced

46
Q

Three stage of the light independent reactions? Calvin cycle

A

Carbon fixation
Reduction
Regeneration of CO2 acceptor.

47
Q

Explain the calvin cycle?

A

CO2 Fixates onto RuBP catalysed by rubisco to make a 6 carbon compound.
It then splits into two PGA (3 carbon compound).
Those two PGA’s then phosphorylate by ATP which came from the electron transport chain in the light dependent reaction to form another compound.
This compound is the reduced by NADH which came from the end of photosystem 1 in the light dependent reaction to produce G3P.

48
Q

What is RuBP?

A

a 5 carbon compound

49
Q

What is phosphorylation?

A

To make a substrate fit into the next set of enzymes.

50
Q

How many molecules of G3P does it take to produce 1 molecule of glucose>

A

12 molecules of G3P

51
Q

How many turns of the calvin cycle to produce 1 molecule of glucose?

A

6 turns of the cycle.

52
Q

What are the main results from the light independent reactions?

A

Carbon dioxide fixed
ATP and H+ from light dependent reaction used
Organic compounds produced - glucose.

53
Q

What is the stoma?

A

The opening at the bottom of a dicot leaf that lets in CO@ and lets of oxygen.

54
Q

How to directly measure the photosynthetic rate?

A

O2 production

CO2 uptake

55
Q

Indirect measurement of photosynthetic rate?

A

Biomass increase

56
Q

What is biomass?

A

The wet mass over the dry mass

57
Q

What different factors effect photosynthesis?

A

Light intensity, temperature and CO2 concentration.
