Question
Answer
What is life built on   chemical reactions; transofrming energy from one form to another  
🗑
What is the first law of thermodynamics   energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transoformed  
🗑
What do living systems need to continually acquire and transform to remain alive   energy  
🗑
what is free energy   the energy available in a system to do work  
🗑
What is the 2nd law of thermodynamics   Every time energy is transformed the entropy (disorder) of the universe increases  
🗑
How do organisms maintain order?   by coupling cellular processes  
🗑
coupling cellular prcesses    
🗑
What are metabolic reactions that can form bonds between molecules   dehydration synthesis; synthesis; anabolic reactions; endergonic  
🗑
metabolic reactions that can break bonds between molecules   hydrolysis; digestion; catabolic reactions; exergonic  
🗑
energy released   exergonic; downhill  
🗑
energy input   endergonic; uphill  
🗑
What does breaking down large molecules requie?   an initial input of energy; activation enery  
🗑
large biomolecules are   stable and must absorb energy to break bonds  
🗑
Why don't reactions just happen spontaneously   because covalent bonds are stable  
🗑
activation energy   the amount of energy needed to destablize the bonds of a molcule  
🗑
how does a cell get help for reactions   enzymes  
🗑
Organisms are?   endergonic systems  
🗑
What do we need energy for?   synthesis; reproduction; active transport; movement; temperature regulation  
🗑
What happens when there is insufficient free energy production?   disease or death, decline of a population; complexity in an ecosystem  
🗑
Formula of free energy   ΔG = ΔH - TΔS.  
🗑
change in enthalpy   - = exothermic, + = endothermic  
🗑
change in entropy   - = entropy decrease, + = entropy increase  
🗑
spontaeous reactions   continue once they are initiated  
🗑
non-spontaneous reactions   require continual input of energy to continue  
🗑
reaction that are always spontaneous/exergonic   exothermic reactions that increase entropy  
🗑
always non-spontaneous/endergonic   endothermic reactions that decrease entropy  
🗑
why do we have ATP   need a short term energy storage molecule  
🗑
ATP   modified nucleotide that is energy  
🗑
How does ATP store energy?   stored energy in each PO4 bond (phosphate group attached)  
🗑
What makes ATP an excellent energy donor?   instability of its P bonds  
🗑
How does ATP transfer energy?    
🗑
What is the enzyme that phosphorlates   kinase  
🗑
we can't store ATP   too reactive and only short term energy storage  
🗑
Why do cells make ATP if it takes a lot of time   chemical, mechanical and tranport work  
🗑
Why to we need energy   to run reactions  
🗑
how do you measure metabolic rate   find amount of heat loss or O2 consumes or CO2 produced  
🗑
thermoregulation   eat regulation in mammals often involves the integumentary system (insulation behavioral responses, etc...)  
🗑
Where is energy stored   organic molecules  
🗑
Where is harvested energy stored   glucose  
🗑
cellular respiration   catabolism of glucose to produce ATP  
🗑
How do we harvest energy from fuels?   digest large molecules into smaller ones; break bonds and move electrons from one molecule to another  
🗑
As electrons move they carry what with them   energy  
🗑
how do electrons move    
🗑
redox reactions   coupling oxidation and reduction  
🗑
oxidation   loss of electron  
🗑
reduction   gain of electron  
🗑
what releases energy as breakdown molecules   redox reactions  
🗑
what is the most electronegative atom in biology?   oxygen  
🗑
what is oxidized in respiration   glucose  
🗑
what is reduced in respiration   oxygen  
🗑
How are electrons moved in respiration   electron carriers move electrons by shuttling H atoms around  
🗑
anaerobic respiration   glycolysis; the breaking down of glucose; in cytosol  
🗑
aerobic respiration   in mitochondria; pyruvate oxidation; kreb's cycle; etc  
🗑
What's the point?   to make ATP  
🗑
glycolysis   breaks down 6C glucose to 2 3C pyrvate  
🗑
ATP generated glycolysis   2 ATP  
🗑
How is NADH recycle to NAD+   another molecule must accept H from NADH; anaerobic respiration (fermentation)  
🗑
Why is pyruvate a branching point   can be used for fermentation or kreb's cycle  
🗑
kreb's cycle -what happens to pyruvate   oxidized to acetyl COA  
🗑
kreb's cycle occurs (#)   2x for each glucose molecule  
🗑
Krebs produces   8 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP, 6 CO2  
🗑
Why glycolysis and krebs   value of NADH and FADH2  
🗑
ETC   series of molecules built into inner mitochondrial membrane; mostly transport (integral) proteins  
🗑
ETC electron tranport   transport of electrons down ETC linked to ATP synthesis  
🗑
chemiosmosis   H atoms move across inner membrane to intermembrane space  
🗑
What pulls the electrons down the ETC   oxygen  
🗑
each carrier   more electronegative  
🗑
ATP synthase   enzyme to make ATP in ETC; only channel permeable to H+; powered by H+  
🗑
metabolism   coordination of digestion & synthesis by regulation enzyme  
🗑
feedback inhibition   regulation & coordination of production; self-limiting; final product is inhibitor of earlier step  
🗑
where does CO2 enter into leaves   stomates  
🗑
Where does photosynthesis occur   chloroplasts  
🗑
pigment in chloroplasts   chlorophyll  
🗑
How does photosynthesis get energy?   absorbing wavelengths of light  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
