13791792358k-selected speciesreproduce later in life produce fewer offspring parental care8
13791804410boom-and-bust cyclecommon among r-strategists; rapid change in population increase leads to an equally rapid drop-off9
13791811605predator-prey cyclePredator max population will NEVER exceed the prey max population This is because of energy 2nd law of Thermodynamics When energy is converted energy is lost as heat As prey increases, predators increase (abundance of food) Prey decreases because of too many predators (more getting hunted) Predators decrease because there is not enough food (prey) Prey increases because of too few predators10
13791840252density-dependent factorslimiting factor that depends on population size ex. increased predation, competition for food or living space, disease, buildup of toxic materials11
13791850703density-independent factorschange the population's size regardless of whether the population is large or small ex. fire, storms, earthquakes, catastrophic events12
13791866068survivorship curvetype 1: K-selected, the majority of offspring will live for a long period of time, eventually they will start to die off type 2: offspring have a 50-50 chance of surviving to old age (straight downward diagonal line) type 3: r-selected, most offspring die young, but if they live to a certain age they will live a longer life13

7952432701Light ReactionsOccur in thylakoid membrane and are also called light dependent reactions15
7952432702PhotosystemConsists of a reaction-center complex surrounded by light-harvesting complexes which split water to create electrons that get transferred to NADP+ to create NADPH and H+ which are used to create ATP16
7952432703Light-Harvesting ComplexContains chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids (within the photosystem) that will trap light energy for use in the light reactions17
7952432704Photosystem 1Has P700 chlorophyll a in reaction-center complex, thought to have evolved first because it can work alone to create primary acceptors, 2nd of the photosystems18
7952432705Photosystem 2Has P680 chlorophyll a in reaction-center complex, first of the photosystems. splits water into electrons, oxygen, and hydrogen ions19
7952432706CytochromeProtein in the electron transport chain of the photosystems that transfers the electrons to create NADPH20
7952432707Calvin CycleLight-Independent reactions Occurs in stoma, does not use light directly. Uses the enzyme Rubisco to create 2 molecules of G3P which is then either used to create glucose or recycled back into RuBP to restart the cycle21
7952432708RubiscoThe most abundant protein on Earth Carbon Fixation is catalyzed by Rubisco22
7952432709ReductionThe carbon molecules made in Carbon Fixation are reduced into to G3P by adding the negative phosphate from a NADPH that can be used to make glucose or perform other processes23
79524327101 Cycle of Calvin Cycle1 CO2 is fixed 3 ATP are used 2 NADPH are used 1 RuBP is regenerated 6 cycles needed to make 1 glucose molecule24
7952432711C4 PhotosynthesisA method that bypasses photorespiration Happens in corn, sugarcane, and other plants in hot, dry environments Converts carbon dioxide to a 4-carbon intermediary which is then stored in bundle-sheath cells25

7952432721many of these reactions will be done byphosphorylation35
7952432722phosphorylationadding a phosphate group to a molecule; the phosphate group adds energy to the molecule for chemical reactions36
7952432723what are the 3 parts of cellular respiration1. glycolysis, 2. cirtric acid cycle (Krebs Cycle), and 3. electron transport chain+oxidative phosphorylation (uses chemiosmosis)37
79524327241. Glycolysisglyco- glucose; lysis- to split; universal step in all respiration types (aerobic and anaerobic)38
7952432725what is the function of glycolysisto split glucose into 2 pyruvate molecules and produce NADH and ATP (only 2 in this step are produced39
7952432726what is the location of glycolysiscytoplasm40
7952432727electron carrier compoundsmolecules that transport or shuttle electrons within the cell41
7952432728what are the 2 forms of electron carrier compoundsoxidized (ex. NAD+, ADP) and reduced (ex. NADH, ATP)42
7952432729what are the requirements for glycolysisglucose (that will turn into 2 pyruvates), 2 ATP (to split glucose), ADP (that will turn into ATP later), and NAD+ (which is the oxidized form of NADH)43
7952432730what are the products of glycolysis2 pyruvic acids (from the glucose split), 2 ATP (from ADP), and 2 NADH (from NAD+)44
7952432731what is the function of the 2. Citric Acid (Krebs) Cycleoxidize pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide that will be released and also produces NADH and FADH245
7952432732what is the location of the Krebs Cycleinside and center in the mitochondria matrix46
7952432733what are the requirements of the Krebs Cyclepyruvic acid, coenzyme A, NAD+, ADP, FAD47
7952432734what are the products of the Krebs CycleCO2 (from the pyruvic), Acetyl CoA (from coenzyme A), NADH (from NAD+), 2 ATP, FADH2 (carry more energy)48
7952432735the Krebs Cycle does whatproduces most of the cell's energy in the form of NADH and FADH2 and doesn't require O249
7952432736the ATPs are poroduced directly in theKrebs Cycle and Glycolysis by substrate-level phosphorylation and the Pi (inorganic phosphate) group is transferred from a substrate to ADP50
7952432737most of the ATP in cellular respiration is produced in the third step: ____1____ ___2___, when NADH and FADH2 relay their electronsto the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) and this energy is used to generate a lot of ATP through ___3___.oxidative; phosphorylation; chemiosmosis51
7952432738electron transport chaina collection of proteins that are structurally linked into the innner membrane of mitochondria to produce ATP through electron transfers52
7952432739the ETC usessets of cytochromes, iron (Fe) containing proteins to pass electrons down the chain53
7952432740the cytochromes alternatebetween reduced and oxidized forms and pass electrons down to O254
7952432741each part of the chain will becomereduced as it accepts electrons from its uphill neighbor which has a lower affinity for electrons (less electronegative)55
7952432742It then does whatreturns to its oxidized form as it passes these electrons to the next neighbor56
7952432743what is the function of the ETCconvert NADH and FADH2 into ATP57
7952432744what is the location of the ETCmitochondria cristae (inner folds of the membrane)58
7952432745what are the requirements of the ETCNADH or FADH2 (they are used from the Krebs Cycle), ADP, and O259
7952432746what are the products of the ETCNAD+ and FAD (from NADH and FADH2), H2O (from O2), 32-34 ATP through oxidative phosphorylation and chemiosmosis60
7952432747Chemiosmosis HypothesisFADH2 and NADH provide energy through electron transfer in the ETC to actively move H+ (protons) across the cristae membrane, building up a concentration gradient61
7952432748Then, ATP is generated as theH+ diffuse back across the membrane into the matrix down their concentration gradient62
7952432749ATP synthasea membrane enzyme that uses the flow of H+ to make ATP; as the H+ flow back down their concentration gradient through this enzyme, it spins an enzyme complex that accelerates the production of ATP from ADP63
7952432750how do we make ATP without Oxygen (anaerobic respiration?fermentation (uses only glycolysis to make ATP, no electron transport chain64
7952432751what are the two types that differ in the final end productalcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation65
7952432752what do both only produce2 ATP per glucose66
7952432753It's not an efficient way to make ATP, but if you don't have oxygen,two are better than none so it will keep you alive in an unfavorable environment67
7952432754alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation both do whatuse only glycolysis, are a incomplete oxidation--energy is still left in the products (ex. lactic acid for lactic acid fermentation and alcohol for alcoholic fermentation), and doesn't require oxygen68
7952432755what is an example of alcoholic fermentationyeast69
7952432756what is an example of lactic acid fermentationlactic acid70
7952432757lactic acid fermentation is done byhuman muscle cells under exercise that creates oxygen debt to keep generating ATP71
7952432758Lactic acid is produced as abi-product that is recycled by the liver cells back into pyruvate so if oxygen does become available later, we can break it down in respiration72
7952432759summary of fermentationit is a way of oxidizing NADH to NAD+ so glycolysis can still run and it provides ATP to a cell even when oxygen is absent73
7952432760anaerobesorganisms that carry out fermentation74
7952432761strict anaerobescan do only respiration this way; example: some bacteria75
7952432762facultative anaerobescan switch respiration types depending on the oxygen availability; example: yeast; muscle cells76
7952432763anaerobicrespiration without oxygen; AKA fermentation--glucose goes through glycolysis only (yield of 2 ATPs per glucose)77
7952432764aerobicrepiration with oxygen; glucose goes through all three respiration steps (yield of 36 ATPs per glucose)78
7952432765Metabolismthe totality of an organisms chemical reactions that result from interactions between molecules within the cell79
7952432766metabolic pathwaya sequence of chemical reactions undergone by a compound in a living organism, start with substrate end with product80

7952432776closed systemisolated from surroundings, no energy transfer, cant work at equilibrium bc its exhausted its ability to do work. free energy at a min90
7952432777open systemnot isolated, energy and matter can be transferred between system and surroundings, ie. cells91
79524327781st law of thermodynamicsenergy of the universe is constant, cannot be created or destroyed, can only be transferred or transformed, conservation of energy92
79524327792nd law of thermodynamicsduring every energy transfer, some energy is unusable and often lost, every energy transfer or transformation increases the total entropy of the universe93
7952432780entropydisorder, randomness94
7952432781free energydelta G, energy that can do work when temperature and pressure are constant, related to change in enthalpy(delta H), change in entropy(delta S) and temperature in Kelvin(T). delta G = delta H - T delta S95
7952432782exergonic reactiona reaction with a net release of free energy, negative free energy, spontaneous96
7952432783endergonic reactiona reaction that absorbs free energy from its surroundings, non-spontaneous, positive free energy97
7952432784coupled reactionsthe use of exergonic processes to drive endergonic ones, the energy given off from the exergonic is absorbed by the endergonic98
7952432785ATPadenosine triphosphate, composed of ribose (5 carbon sugar), adenine (nitrogenous base), and 3 phosphate groups. Phosphate tail can be broken through hydrolysis to produce energy, ADP, and an inorganic phosphate99
7952432786phosphorylationhow ATP drives endergonic reactions, covalently bonding a phosphate with another molecule, such as as reactant100
7952432787catalysta chemical agent that speeds up chemical reactions without being consumed by the reaction101
7952432788enzymesa catalytic protein, speeds up metabolic reactions by lowering activation energy, very specific, reusable, unchanged by reaction102
7952432789activation energyinitial energy needed to start a chemical reaction, free energy for activating reaction, given off by heat103
7952432790induced fitbrings the chemical groups of the active site into positions that enhance their ability to catalyze the reaction, makes the enzyme more effective104
7952432791cooperativityanother type of allosteric activation, binds to one active site but locks ALL active sites open, allowing products to be constantly produced105
7952432792Substratethe REACTANT that an enzyme acts on106
7952432793Enzyme-Substrate Complexenzyme and substrate107
7952432794Active Siteregion on the enzyme where substrate binds108
7952432795Hydrogen and Ionic Bondssubstrate held in active site by WEAK interactions109
7952432796Lock and Keyactive site on enzyme fits substrate exactly110
7952432797If reaction doesnt need energy to start (exergonic)How do you know if a reaction is spontaneous?111
79524327983 kinds of cellular work done by ATPShuttle renewable and nonrenewable ENERGY, provide ENERGY for cellular functions, provide ENERGY for catabolic reactions112
7952432799Ways enzymes lower activation energycan do this by having a favorable environment, straining substrate molecules, orienting substrates correctly113
7952432800hydrolysishappens when phosphate leaves ATP to give energy to something else. This causes ATP to become ADP, produces water114
7952432801cofactorsnon-protein enzyme helpers ex. zinc, iron, copper115
7952432802coenzymesorganic enzyme helpers ex. vitamens116
7952432803Denatureabove a certain temp activity declines, protein unwinds117
7952432804Renaturecoils it back to normal after temp gets too high and the activity decreased118
7952432805Gene Regulationcell switches on or off the genes that code for specific enzymes119
7952432806Feedback inhibitionend product of a pathway that continues to produce product (positive) and then turns off (negative)120
7952432807negative feedback inhibitionaccumulation of end product slows the process that produces that amount -stop production121
7952432808positive feedback inhibitionend product speeds up production (less common)122
7952432809Allosteric Regulationcan accelerate or inhibit production and enzyme activity by attaching to another part of the protein. this changes the shape of the active site which inhibits substrates from bonding and producing more products123
7952432810Activatorone of the allosteric regulators, stabilizes and keeps active site open for production, wedges open124
7952432811Inhiibitorone of the allosteric regulators, doesnt allow active site to work or produce, wedges closed125
7952432812Competitive Inhibitorinhibitor that mimics original substrate by blocking the original substrate126
7952432813Noncompetetitive Inhibitorbind to another part of enzyme to change shape and block substrate from producing127
7952432814ways enzymes are affectsenvironment, pH, temp, salinity, chemicals that infuse enzyme, increase activity by increasing substrate concentration128
7952432815exergonicwhat reaction is spontaneous (-G)129
7952432816endergonicwhat reaction is not spontaneous (positive G)130
