1592186916Chemical energyEnergy available in molecules for release in a chemical reaction; a form of potential energy10
1592186917ThermodynamicsThe study of energy transformations that occur in a collection of matter.11
1592186918First law of thermodynamicsThe principle of conservation of energy; energy can be transferred and transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed12
1592186919Entropya measure of disorder, or randomness13
1592186920Second law of thermodynamicsEnergy transfer. The principle stating that every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy of the universe. Usable forms of energy are at least partly converted to heat14
1592186921Spontaneous processWithout Energy. Spontaneous processes occur without energy input; they can happen quickly or slowly15
1592186922What is the second law of thermodynamics?The principle stating that every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy of the universe.16
1592186923What is the first law of thermodynamics?Energy can be transferred and transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed17
1592186924How does the second law of thermodynamics help explain the diffusion of a substance across a membrane?The second law is the trend toward randomization, or increasing entropy. When the concentration of a substance on both sides of a membrane are equal, the distribution is more random than when they are unequal. Diffusion of a substance to a region where it is initially less concentrated INCREASES ENTROPY, making it an energetically favorable (SPONTANEOUS) process.18
1592186925Describe the forms of energy found in an apple as it grows on a tree, then falls, then is digested by someone who eats itPotential. Chemical. Kinetic. Thermal. As it sits on the tree, the apple has potential energy because of its position and chemical energy because of its nutrients. As it is falling it has kinetic energy. When eaten and digested, some chemical energy becomes work and the rest is heat.19
1592186926If you place a teaspoon of sugar in the bottom of a glass of water, it will dissolve completely over time. Left longer, crystals will reappear. Explain these observations in terms of entropySugar crystals are less ordered - more entropy as they dissolve. As the water becomes less ordered - more entropy and evaporates, the sugar becomes more ordered- decrease in entropy, becoming crystals20
1592186927Concept 8.2 The free energy change of a reaction tells us whether or not the reaction occurs spontaneously....21
1592186928Free energyThe portion of a biological system's energy that can perform work when temperature and pressure are uniform throughout the system. The change in free energy of a system is calculated by the equation delta G = delta H - T delta S, where delta H is the change in enthalpy (in biological systems, equivalent to total energy), T is the absolute temperature, and delta S is the change in entropy.22
1592186929Exergonic reactionEnergy is released. A reaction is exergonic if more energy is released than supplied. delta G<023
1592186930Endergonic reactionEnergy must be supplied. A reaction is endergonic if more energy is supplied than is released. delta G>024
1592186931Endergonic reactionThe reaction will not occur spontaneously delta G>025

1592186933Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen, which have high levels of free energy, and releases CO2 and water, which have low levels of free energy. Is it exergonic or endergonic?Cellular Respiration is an EXERGONIC process27
1592186934Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen, which have high levels of free energy, and releases CO2 and water, which have low levels of free energy. What happens to the energy released from glucose?The energy released from glucose is used to do work in the cell or is lost as heat28
1592186935As we saw in figure 7.20 on page 137, a key process in metabolism is the transport of hydrogen ions (H+) across a membrane to create a concentration gradient. Other processes can result in an equal concentration of H+ on each side. Which situation allows the H+ to perform work on the system?At equilibrium, the H+ concentration is the same and the Hydrogen ions can no no work. When there is an imbalance, or a gradient Hydrogen ions go to work.29
1592186936As we saw in figure 7.20 on page 137, a key process in metabolism is the transport of hydrogen ions (H+) across a membrane to create a concentration gradient. Other processes can result in an equal concentration of H+ on each side. Which situation allows the H+ to perform work on the system and how is the answer consistent with what is shown in regards to energy in figure 7.20?Figure 7.20 shows that an energy input via ATP hydrolysis is required to establish a concentration gradient that allows the Hydrogen ions to go to work.30
1592186937Glow in the dark necklaces start glowing once activated which usually involves snapping the necklaces in a way that allows two chemicals to react and emit light in the form of chemilluminescence. Is the chemical reaction exergonic or endergonic?The reaction is EXERGONIC because it releases energy in the form of light.31
1592186938Concept 8.3 ATP powers cellular work by coupling exergonic reactions to endergonic reactions...32
1592186939Energy couplingIn cellular metabolism, the use of energy released from an exergonic reaction drives an endergonic reaction33
1592186940ATPAdenosine Triphosphate34
1592186941ATP (adenosine triphosphate)An adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed. This energy is used to drive endergonic reactions in cells.35

1592186943What are the three main types of work that a cell does?Chemical Transport Mechanical37
1592186944How does ATP typically transfer energy from ergonic to endergonic reactions in the cell?By Phosphorylating, adding phosphate groups to, other molecules. Exergonic process phosphorylate ADP to regenerate ATP38
1592186945Which of the following combinations has more free energy: Glutamic acid + ammnia +ATP or Glutamine + ADP + P1? ExplainA set of coupled reactions can transform the first combinations into the second. Since this is an exergonic process overall, Delta G is negative and the first combination must have more energy.39
1592186946Considering what we learned in concepts 7.3 and 7.4 (pages 134-136), does figure 8.10a show passive or active transport?Active Transport - the solute is being transported against its concentration gradient40

1592186955CofactorAny nonprotein molecule or ion that is required for the proper functioning of of an enzyme; can be permanently bound to the active site or may be loosely bound and reversibly, along with the substrate during catalysis.49
1592186956Coenzymean organic molecule serving as a cofactor; in metabolic reactions, most vitamins function as this.50
1592186957Competitive inhibitora substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by entering the active site in place of the substrate, whose structure it mimics51
1592186958Noncompetitive inhibitora substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by binding to a location remote from the active site, changing an enzyme's shape so that the active site no longer effectively catalyses the conversion of substrate to product52
1592186959Many spontaneous reactions occur very slowly. Why don't all spontaneous reactions occur instantly?While spontaneous reactions are exergonic, if they have a high activation energy that is rarely reached, the rate of reaction could be very slow53
1592186960Why do enzymes act only on very specific substrates?Only the specific substrate will fit properly into the active site of an enzyme where the catalysis happens54
1592186961Malonate is an inhibitor of the enzyme succinate dehyrogenase. How would you determine whether malonate is a competitive or noncompetitive inhibitor?With malonate present, increase the amount of the normal substrate and determine if the reaction increases, if it does, then you know that malonate is a competitive inhibitor55
1592186962In nature, what conditions could lead to natural selection favoring bacteria with enzymes that could break down the fucose-containing disaccharide discussed above?If lactose wasn't present in the environment as a source of food and the fucose-containing disaccharide was available, bacteria that could digest the latter would be better able to grow and multiply than those that could not.56
1592186963Concept 8.5 Regulation of Enzyme Activity Helps Control Metabolism...57
1592186964Allosteric regulationThe binding of a regulatory molecule to a protein at one site that affects the function of the protein at a different site58
1592186965CooperativityA kind of allosteric regulation whereby a shape change in one subunit of a protein caused by substrate binding is transmitted to all the other subunits, facilitating binding of additional substrate molecules to those subunits59
1592186966Feedback inhibitionA method of metabolic control in which the end product of a metabolic pathway acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme within that pathway.60
1592186967How do an activator and an inhibitor have different effects on an allosterically regulated enzyme?The activator binds and stabilizes he active form of an enzyme, whereas the inhibitor will stabilize the INACTIVE form61
1592186968You want to design drug that inhibits a particular enzyme, after research you learn that an enzymes active site is simmilar to that of several other enzymes. What would be a good approach to develop your inhibitor drug?An inhibitor that binds to the active site of the enzyme you want to inhibit could also bind to and block the enzymes with similar structures, causing significant side effects. For this reason you would be better off choosing to screen chemical compounds that bind allosterically to the enzyme in question because allosteric regulatory sites are less likely to share similarity with other enzymes.62

1592186992What is meant by the "induced fit" of an enzyme?The enzyme changes its shape slightly as the substrate binds to it86
1592186993How do enzymes lower activation energy?By locally concentrating the reactants. One of the ways enzymes work is to increase the concentrations of reactants at a single place.87
1592186994What do the sign and magnitude of the ΔG of a reaction tell us about the speed of the reaction?Neither the sign nor the magnitude of ΔG have anything to do with the speed of a reaction.88
1592186995If an enzyme is added to a solution where its substrate and product are in equilibrium, what will occur?Nothing; the reaction will stay at equilibrium.89
1592186996Some bacteria are metabolically active in hot springs becausetheir enzymes have high optimal temperatures.90
1592186997If an enzyme in solution is saturated with substrate, the most effective way to obtain a faster yield of products is toadd more of the enzyme.91

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 46 Animal Reproduction Flashcards

Most of the questions in Chapter 46 ensure that students have a firm grasp of the important principles of animal reproduction. Some art questions require students to label various parts of the human female and male reproductive systems. A few higher-level questions require students to piece together information to determine an appropriate response.

1672631717The Age of Religious WarsNew confessional & dynastic rivalries born of the Reformation continued to fuel bloody wars. Genuine religious belief & uncompromising dynastic expansion fueled the wars during the late sixteenth & seventeenth centuries.8
1672631718The Thirty Years' War1618-1648 The wars of religion were both internal national conflicts & truly international wars. Four major phases: the Bohemian, Danish, Swedish, & Franco-Swedish phase. The Treaty of Westphalia ended the war & gave the Germans the right to choose their religion.9
