Q

proteins that do not span the whole
membrane, only partway through the hydrophobic interior

A

integral proteins

25
proteins that span whole membrane
transmembrane proteins
26
proteins that do not penetrate the membrane at all loosely bound to the surface
peripheral proteins
27
6 major functions carried out by proteins in the plasma membrane
transportation enzymatic activity signal transduction cell to cell recognition intercellular joining attacking to cytoskeleton and ECM
28
these molecules that easily cross phospholipid bilayer
hydrocarbons and non polar molecules because they are hydrophobic and can cross the lipid bilayers hydrophobic interior
29
these molecules cannot cross the philips blister easily
hydrophobic polar molecules such as water
30
loss of electrons is called
oxidation
31
addition of electrons is called
reduction
32
partial degradation of sugars or other organic fuel without the use of oxygen
fermentation
33
more efficient that fermentation used oxygen and a reactant along with organic fuel
aerobic respiration
34
1- glycolysis
-occurs in cytosol, breaks down one glucose molecule into 2 molecules of pyruvate can be divided into energy investments phase and energy payoff phase. energy investment phase - glucose is phosphorlated before it is split into two three carbon molecules payoff phase - 2 ATP AND 2 NADH are produced per glucose molecule net energy yielded to prepare pyruvate to enter citric acid cycle, it is oxidized and decarboxylatied, and the removed electrons are used to reduce NAD to NADH
35
2 Pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle
pyruvate is oxidized into acetyl CoA, and acetylCoa is oxidized into CO2 - electron carriers NADH and FADH2 Transfer electrons derived from glucose to electron transport chains - most of NADH produced for electron transport chain is produced here - at the end of citric acid cycle 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH are produced
36
net products at the end of glycolysis per glucose molecule
2 ATP, 2 NADH
37
produced at the end of citric acid cycle
2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH
38
most of NADH produced for electron transport chain is produced here
citric acid cycle
39
oxidative phosphorylation - electron transport chain and chemiosmosis
electron transport chain converts chemical energy to a form used for ATP synthesis in chemiosmosis - at the end of the chain the electrons are combined with molecules oxygen and hydrogen ions to form water - energy released at each step of the chain is stored in a form the mitochondria can used to make ATP from ADP. this is oxidative phosphorylation. inner membrane of mitochondria is site of electron transport chain and chemiosmosis, together making oxidative phosphorylation.
40
_____ acccounts for 90 % of ATP generated by respiration
oxidative phosphorylation
41
muscle tissue makes lactate from ____ to _____ which can then be used to oxidize sugar by glycolysis
pyruvate, regenerate NAD
42
sacs containing chlorophyll sacs together called grams.
thylakoid
43
contains photo stems 1 and 2, found within chloroplast
thylakoid
44
had two membranes surrounding a dense fluid called steins, thylakoids are suspended here
chloroplast
45
which photo system functions first in light reactions
2
46
electrons from photosystems 2 comes from
splitting of water molecules
47
two stages of photosynthesis
light reactions and calvin cycle
48
site of light reactions
thylakoid
49
site of calvin cycle
stroma
50
in photosynthesis, _____is ___ and ______ is _____
water is oxidized, Co2 is reduced
51
three stages of calvin cycle
carbon fixation, reduction, regeneration of co2 acceptors RuBP is regenerated
52
photostrms consist of these structures
chlorophyll, reaction centre complex, primary electron acceptor light harvesting complex
53
situated between upper and lower epidermal layers of leaf
mesophyll
54
these cells contains chloroplasts
parenchyma cells
55
a microscopic pore in leaf that allows for gas exchange
stomata
56
this reaction consumes water to produce oxygen
light reactions
57
the energy used to produce ATP in the light reaction comes from
the movement of H+ through a membrane
