Bio- Chapter 2

Test- Friday, November 7th, 2014

QuestionAnswer
all life has the ability to __________ & ___________. absorb energy from the environment and convert it to other forms
what are the characteristics of life? ingestion, excretion, reproduction, response to stimuli, growth/development, structural organization
in what form do organic molecules store chemical energy? C (carbon)
free energy= amount of energy usable for work
what are the different types of work? transport, mechanical & chemical
transport work moves nutrients
mechanical work structural movement- muscles, flagella
chemical work break up large molecule
what is the 1st law of bioenergetics? thermodynamics- conversion of energy between heat and others. energy can neither be created nor destroyed- total remains constant
endothermic heat energy absorbed (photosynthesis)
laws of bioenergetics energy flow and change
exothermic energy released (respiration)
what is the 2nd law of bioenergetics? entropy- nature tends toward disorder, amount of free energy decreases with each conversion by loss of heat to the environment
arenwarm blooded animals endothermic or exothermic? endothermic
all biochemical reactions in an organism metabolism
metabolism balances bewteen synthesis (_______) and breakdown (________) reactions anabolic, catabolic
chemical reactions that use small molecules-monomers to build complex molecules (polymers) anabolism
uses energy anabolism
anabolism or catabolism: amino acids building proteins anabolism
anabolism or catabolism: monosaccharides building bigger carbohydrates anabolism
anabolism or catabolism: CO2 + H2O builds glucose + O2= photosynthesis anabolism
anabolism or catabolism:nucleotides building DNA + RNA anabolism
degradation reactions catabolism
breaks down large molecules into small molecules catabolism
anabolism or catabolism: proteins are broken down by proteases into a.a. catabolism
anabolism or catabolism: muscles cells break down clycogen into glucose catabloism
anabolism or catabolism: cellular respiration degrades C6H12O6+O2 into H2O + CO2 catabolism
anabolism or catabolism: hydrolysis- degrades carbohydrates catabolism
ATP->ADP gives energy
ADP-> ATP when chemical energy is added
___ acts as energy carrier by forming and being used rapidly ATP
___ is the link as anabolism and catabolism cycle ATP
___ energy is the "currency" used ATP
_________ reactions provide the ATP energy that most _______ reactions require catabolic, anabolic
most chemical energy is lost as "_____ ____." waste heat
what is "waste heat?" not wasted, essential in maintaining a constant body temperature
proteins that lower activation energy to speed reactions; don't get used up when catalyzing reactions; are specific to substrate enzymes, fit their substrates like a lock + key or can change slightly to fit enzymes
examples of enzymes (2) lactose-lactase
enzymes speed up specific reactions in (both/1) direction(s) both
enzymes end in "___" "ase"
enzymes ____ and _____ must be within certain limits temp and pH
uses water and enzymes to break starch into disaccharide maltose to monosachharide glucose to cells via the bloodstream in humans digestion
________ and _____ get broken down to their building blocks bia pepsin and lipase, respectively proteins and fats
nutrients are absorbed by the _____ of the small intestine villi
unused materials that are undigested are exerted in the _____ feces
step 1 of the digestive system: epiglottis protects the trachea and allows food to pass to the esophagus
step 2 of the digestive system: peristalsis causes food to move through the gastrointestinal tract
step 3 of the digestive system: pancreas secrets juices that raise the pH of the small intestine
step 4 of the digestive system: carbohydrates and other foods are completely digested in the small intestine, but protein digestion begins in the stomach. once digested theyre absorbed through the villi to produce ATP for cell use
step 5 of the digestive system: large intestine removes water from food and absorbs it back into the body

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
