Q

What happens in Photosynthesis?

A

Water is split in the chloroplast
Then Hydrogen from water are used to make water in another part of the chloroplast
They need to be carried or else they would acidify in the chloroplast’s cytoplasm

Energy is stored in an AMP molecule through ________.
addition of phosphate groups
37
During a process called photoact, ________ give up an electron as a part of the light-dependent reactions.
chlorophylls
38
Photosynthesis occurs inside the ________ of plants.
chloroplast
39
Part of the light-independent reactions is known as ________ because it converts inorganic carbon dioxide into organic carbohydrates.
FIXATION
40
Chemiosmosis involves ________.
the movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane
41
The direct products from the citric acid cycle are ________.
temporary electron storage compounds
42
During the second half of glycolysis, what occurs? Responses
ATP is made
43
At the end of ________ the starting glucose molecule has been oxidized.
pyruvate oxidation
44
The process of ________ utilizes an organic molecule to regenerate NAD+ from NADH.
fermentation
45
The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase generates ________ during fermentation.
alcohol
46
What is the result from photosynthesis?
simple sugars
47
The main purpose of the light-independent reactions is to ________.
build carbohydrates for long-term energy storage
48
________ reactions of photosynthesis generate NADPH and ATP to carry solar energy.
Light dependent
49
The energy from sunlight is absorbed by ________ inside photosynthetic organelles.
pigments
50
What is removed from pyruvate during its conversion into an acetyl group?
carboxyl
51
Lactic acid generated by fermentation in muscles ________.
Is sent to the liver for conversion back into pyruvic acid
52
How is ATP produced?
Substrate- level Phosphorylation
53
What is an example of Substrate- level Phosphorylation?
Glycolsisi
54
What is glycolysis?
Chemical reaction that does not need O2 “ To split sugars” 2 ATP Net are produced Allows a yeast cell to survive without O2 for a few hours Will keep producing alcohol until it dies in own alcohol
55
Explain Substrate-level Phosphorylation
ATP is formed when an enzyme transfer a phosphate group from a substrate to ADP
56
What is Chemiosmosis?
movement of H across the membrane) and Oxidative Phosphorylation (the use of oxygen in the process as the acceptor across the membrane):
57
______ 0f the ATP generated during glucose catabolism is derived from Chemiosmosis
90%
58
Where for chemiosmosis occur?
Takes place in michondria with a eukaryotic cell or the plasma membrane of a prokaryotic cell.
59
This process uses oxygen and from ATP generated during glucose catabolism is called
oxidative phosphorylation
60
________ produces ________
Chemiosmosis/oxidative phosphorylation
61
Explain the steps in chemiosmosis
1) Hydrogen atom accumulate in the space between the two membranes in the mitochondria 2)When it does 2 H + an O equals H2O O is the acceptor of this process When the H cross the membrane it generates ATP in the process
62
What is Oxygenic Photosynthesis?
The energy of sunlight is captured and used to energize electrons, which are then stored in the covalent bonds of sugar molecules
63
Oxygenic Photosynthesis power _______of Earth’s ecosystems
