Dual Credit Biology - Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesiis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is substrate level phosphorylation? | ADP -> ATP by adding a phosphate from an attached organic molecule. |
| Where does substrate level phosphorylation occur? | Glycolysis and Krebs. Cytoplasm and Mitochondrial matrix |
| What is oxidative phosphorylation? | ADP -> ATP by adding an inorganic phosphate. |
| Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur? | ETC and Chemiosmosis. Mitochondria. |
| Why is energy not stored at ATP. | The phosphates in ATP are all negative charges meaning they don't like each other and are easily split which is not good for storage. |
| How is energy captured during catabolism (break down) of glucose during Glycolysis and Kreb's Cycle? | ATP, NADH, FADH |
| How does phosphofructokinase regulate the rate of Glycolysis? When does this happen? | When lots of ATP is present the active site changes shape so that nothing can bind with it. |
| Why is fermentation important to cells? | They allow cells to continue making ATP when there isn't a sufficient amount of oxygen present. |
| What is the chemiosmotic hypothesis? | A proton-motive force was responsible for driving the synthesis of ATP. Protons would be pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane as electrons went through the electron transfer chain. |
| What happens to the rate of the phases of cellular respiration if you increase any of the intermediates through the pathways? | If one pathway is faster than the others that would cause an imbalance. If one speeds up they should all speed up so there is no abundance of one certain thing. |
| What is the function of a pigment? | Pigments absorb light. |
| What is the primary pigment in green plants? | Chlorophyll. |
| Why are there several different pigments in plants? | So that the plant can get all of the wavelengths of light. Different color = different wavelength |
| Why are carotenoids and flavonoids important to plant cells? | Carotenoids absorb colors that chlorophyll can't absorb. Flavonoids protect the plant by absorbing UV light (sunscreen) |
| What happens when energy is absorbed by pigments? | The electrons within the cells that absorb the pigment become energized. |
| Why do leaves change color in the fall? | Chlorophyll production slows down as the tree goes dormant and no longer needs |
