9
Q

A
a chemical reaction that forms bonds to build molecules , requires energy, because the products have more energy than the reactants
10
Q
what is a exergonic reaction?
A
chemical reaction that breaks bonds to release energy stored in bonds, products have less energy than reactants
11
Q
what is oxidation reduction (Redox)?
A
electrons are transferred from donor to acceptor
( oxidation and reduction occur at the same time)
12
Q
what occurs when a molecule is oxidized?
A
this is the molecule or atom that is donating an electrons
13
Q
what occurs when a molecules is reduced?
A
this is the molecule or atom that is accepting the electron but is reduced because the charged on a electron is negative.
14
Q
what is an example of oxidation reduction?
A

15
Q
What is phosphorylation?
A
addition of phosphate to a molecule, phosphate group of ATP is transferred causing recipient to either become:
- more energised
- change shape
EX. ATP donates a phosphate group to protein which cause protein to change shape.
16
Q

25
what is the allosteric site of an enzyme?
a site that allows molecules to either activate or inhibit (or turn off) enzyme activity.( inhibitor bound to the allosteric site because when this interaction it change the overall shape of the enzyme)
26
what is competitive inhabitation?
( substrate competing to enter the active site, inhibitor[stop reaction that are not needed] will block substrate, molecules fight for active site)

27
what is noncompetitive inhabitation?
inhibitor changes the shape of the active site and prevent substrate and enzyme from bonding together.
28
What does it mean to say enzymes are specific?
the shape of active site will make enzyme specific and only certain molecules can interact/ enter active site

60
what is the 1st stage of photosynthesis
light reaction or light dependent
- occurs in thylakoid membrane in membrane space
- solar/ light energy will be stored and converted to ATP & NADPH
WHAT HAPPENS:
- light energy strikes photo system 2
- chlorophyll pigments will absorb the light energy
- electron within photo system 2 will be excited
- this will then cause electrons to down the ETC
- electrons from chlorophyll are replaced with electron from H2O, O2 is the waste product
- This will then have H ion to build up in the thylakoid space, making a concentration gradient and ion swill move through the protein enzyme ( ATP SYNTHASE) across plasma membrane, the energy occurring from the movement is to be used to add to phosphate group ADP creating ATP
- back to ETC
Electrons from photosystem II arrive at photosystem I. Light strikes photosystem
I, exciting electrons to move down a second electron transport chain reduce
NADP+ to NADPH.
▪ NADP+ and H+ will form a bond when an electron is accepted from the
2nd electron transport chain (from photosystem I). NADP+ is reduced in
this step because its overall charge becomes more negative when it
accepts the electron.
▪ NADPH is referred to as an electron carrying molecule because it will
carry electrons that can be used in oxidation reduction reactions. The
NADPH will be oxidized when it donates its electron in an oxidation
reduction reaction.
- NADPH and ATP will then move to stroma to start Calvin cycle
61
what is the purpose of light reactions?
to create ATP & NADPH to fuel carbon reactions
62
where do light reactions occur?
In thylakoid membrane and space in the photosystems
63
what is the dark reaction stage?
ATP& NADPH
- CO2 will enter the Calvin cycle and will interact with enzyme rubisco and react with ribulose biphosphate ( RuBP)
- the energy stored in ATP & NADPH so that rubies can convert CO2 and RUBP to molecule PGAL
- some of the PGAL will be used to make starch, glucose, sucrose OR make another RUBP to keep cycle going
- in order for Calvin cycle to continue you need the RUBP to interact with CO2
-

69
where does the 1st electron transport chain start and end?
light energy strikes photo system 2 and excites electrons and this causes electrons to move down the ETC to photo system1
70
where does the 2nd electron transport chain start and end ?
photo system 1 will also have light energy that will strike it exciting the electrons again and moving down the ETC and the energy from this movement is going to be used to make NADPH molecules
- NADP+ and H+ will form a bond when an electron is accepted from the
2nd electron transport chain (from photosystem I). NADP+ is reduced in
this step because its overall charge becomes more negative when it
accepts the electron.
ends at NADPH
71
what is produced in electron transport chain one?
proton gradient of H ions that make ATP
72
what is produced in electrons transport chain two?
NADP+ is reduced in this step because its overall charge becomes more negative when it accepts the electron making NADPH
