Cell Processes
study respiration, photosynthesis, and enzymes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| proteins necessary to speed up chemical reactions; can break molecules down or synthesize molecules. | enzymes |
| any name for a substance that is not changed or used up during a reaction | catalyst |
| substance an enzyme catalyzes | substrate |
| temperature, pH, # of enzymes, or # of substrates | factors that affect enzyme action |
| the best | optimal |
| proteins are changed or damaged | denature |
| theory to explain how an enzyme and a substrate fit together | lock and key |
| form of energy used directly by cells | ATP |
| break down of organic molecules to extract energy from their chemical bonds to produce ATP | cellular respiration |
| uses oxygen; more efficient means of producing ATP | aerobic respiration |
| does not use oxygen to produce a small quantity of ATP | anaerobic respiration |
| organic molecule primarily used to produce ATP | glucose |
| the three carbon molecule capable of further breakdown in oxygen is available | pyruvic acid |
| the number of ATP molecules produced by anaerobic respiration | 2 |
| the number of ATP molecules produced from the complete breakdown of glucose in aerobic respiration | 36 to 38 |
| waste products produced during respiration | carbon dioxide and water |
| location of glycolysis (anaerobic respiration) | cytoplasm |
| location of aerobic respiration | mitochondrion |
| waste product produced in human muscle tissue and in some single-celled organisms as a result of anaerobic respiration | lactic acid |
| waste products produced by yeast and some bacteria as a result of anaerobic respiration | alcohol and carbon dioxide |
| process by which energy is stored in the chemical bonds of organic molecules; process that makes glucose using the sun's energy | photosynthesis |
| waste product of photosynthesis | oxygen |
| organic molecule made from photosynthesis | glucose |
| complex carbohydrate produced from the storage of glucose in plants | starch |
| primary green pigment needed for photosynthesis | chlorophyll |
| location of photosynthesis | chloroplast |
| technique used to separate pigments in a lab | chromatography |
| pores on leaves | stomates |
| cells that surround the pores on leaves; regulates the intake of carbon dioxide and the giving off of water vapor | guard cells |
| protein molecules on cell membranes responsible for communication between cells | receptor proteins |
