Photosynthesis occurs in the…
..thylakoids
Photosynthesis -LDR
Step 1
- Light enters the chlorophyll which traps it
- Energy from the light splits the water
Photosynthesis -LDR
Step 2
- Hydrogen from the split water is transferred to the carrier molecule NADH+ which is turned into NADH
- ATP synthase produces ATP
Photosynthesis - LDR
Step 3
- -Oxygen from the molecules is also produced and is released as waste
Photosynthesis - LIDR…occurs in the
…stroma of the chloroplasts
Photosynthesis - LIDR
Step 5
- Enzyme rubisco joins a CO2 molecule with a 5-carbon molecule to produce a 6-carbon molecule
Photosynthesis - LIDR
Step 6
NADPH from the light dependent reaction and ATP react to produce glucose
Photosynthesis Equation
6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Aerobic
Respiration
Step 1
Glycoysis
- 1 glucose is broken into 2 pyruvates
- 2 ATP produced
- Occurs in the cytoplasm
Aerobic
Respiration
Step 2
Krebs Cycle:
- Pyruvate from previous step is moved into the matrix in the mitochondria
- Through enzyme reactions, pyruvate is broken down into CO2 waste an hydrogen atoms
- Occurs in the matrix
Aerobic
Respiration
Step 3
Electron Transport Chain
- Occurs in the cristae
- Hydrogen atoms are ionized to H+ as electrons are pushed apart
- The energy from the energy the electrions are used to turn ADP into ATP
- Water is produced as a waste product
Aerobic
Respiration - Equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6H2O + 36 ATP
Anerobic
Respiration
- Glucose partially broken down in the cytoplasm
- Short term
- Low ATP production
Anerobic
Respiration - Equations
Glucose -> ethanol + 2ATP
Glucose -> Lactic Acid + 2ATP
Co-Enzyme
Helps the substrate to fit
Anti-Codon
Three consecutive bases on the tRNA
Sister Chromatids
Excat copies of each other
Formed in DNA replication
Linked Genes and Independent Assortment
Linked genes cannot independently assort
Degeneracy of the Code
64 codons for 20 Amino Acids
Genes and Enzymes
Genes control the production of enzymes
If a mutation were to occur it can result in a faulty gene which may not have the correct production of enzyme
Mutations
Substutution Mutations
Replacement of a nucleotide base in the DNA sequence
Substitution Mutation
Silent Mutations
- Substitution os base where amino acid does not change
- Due to the degeneracy of the code
Substitution Mutation
Missense Mutation
- Substition of base leads to a different amino acid in the protein
- Can be sever depending on where the amino acid is changed
- E.g. stop/start codon
