What is the Golgi apparatus?

A

-stacked array of membrane sacs

36
Q

What does the Golgi apparatus do?

A

-each membrane sac within the Golgi apparatus has enzymes for producing and modifying cell materials
-as chemicals are synthesized, part of the Golgi membrane pinches off to form a vesicle carrying the molecules where they’re needed

37

– Watery matrix contains other
enzymes for energy metabolism

41
Q

A

reactions release energy

42
Q

endergonic means…

A

reactions require energy

43
Q

What are endergonic and exergonic reactions usually coupled with?

A

ATP (and other carriers)
– Energy is stored in bond between P groups

44
Q

How is ATP made?

A
  • Chemiosmosis
    – Use Electron Transport Chain to set up a proton
    gradient (H+)
  • ATP synthase protein captures energy as
    protons travel “downhill”
  • Uses energy to add P to ADP
  • Occurs in Chloroplasts and Mitochondria
45
Q

Explain the electron transport chain.

A

-As electrons move down
chain energy is lowered
-Electron acceptors-
accept and lose
electrons
-Some energy given
off as heat and some
stored in ATP

46
Q

Photosynthesis is…

A

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
– 1-carbon units (CO2) going to 6-carbon units (glucose)
– Uses water, releases oxygen

– In Chloroplast thylakoids (internal membranes): Electron
Transport Chain, chemiosmosis, and phosphorylation using
ATP synthase
– In Chloroplast stroma: “C link-up reactions” (“fixation” or
“Calvin cycle”)

47
Q

Respiration is…

A

6O2 + C6H12O6 → 6H2O + 6CO2
– 6-carbon units (glucose) going to 1-carbon units (CO2)
– Uses oxygen, releases water

In Cytoplasm and Mitochondria matrix: “Glucose Breakdown
Reactions”
– In Mitochondria cristae (internal membranes) Electron
Transport Chain, chemiosmosis, and phosphorylation using
ATP synthase

48
Q

what does the absorption of light do for photosynthesis?

A

Plants use visible light for photosynthesis
– right amount of energy to excite electrons in
organic molecules.
– Chlorophyll a absorbs light in the red and blue-
violet region and reflects green light
Chlorophyll a absorption

49
Q

What does Chlorophyll A do?

A
  • Chlorophyll A: light energy
    excites electrons in the ring
    structures
  • electrons jump to a higher
    energy level
50
Q

How is ATP synthesized in the chloroplast?

A
  • Photosystems and electron transport molecules are in
    the thylakoid membrane
  • As electrons pass down the electron transport chain,
    part of the energy is used to pump protons (H+) from
    stroma of chloroplast into the space inside the
    thylakoid membranes
  • Buildup of positive charges and acidity inside the
    thylakoid: an electrochemical gradient
  • the ATP synthase complex provides a channel for
    protons to flow back to the stroma and as they do,
    ATP molecules are made by adding phosphate to
    ADP.
51
Q

Explain carbon link-up (“Calvin cycle” or carbon fixation)

A
  • Enzymes and reactions occur in the stroma of chloroplast
  • CO2 molecules are hooked together through multiple reactions
  • Energy required to hook CO2 molecules together comes from
    energy carriers ATP and NADPH
    – Breaking the bond releases energy: ATP to ADP and NADPH to NAD
  • 6 turns of Calvin cycle, each using one CO2 , needed to
    produce 1 glucose.
52
Q

Explain the electron transport chain in mitochondria

A
  • Protein complexes containing electron carrier molecules in
    inner mitochondrial membranes
  • High energy electrons in come from Glucose breakdown
    reactions and are carried by NADH and FADH2
  • Electrons that have passed through Electron Transport Chain
    interact with O2 to from water.
    – Poisons which prevent oxygen from accepting electrons (such as
    cyanide) shut down the ETC and energy production.
  • As electrons passed along,
    – some energy released used to pump protons across the inner
    membrane of the mitochondria to the space between the inner and
    outer membranes
    – Sets up an electrochemical gradient similar to that in chloroplasts.
