How do electronegativity and hydrogen bonding contribute to the formation of hydrogen bonds?

<p>When an electronegative atom, like oxygen, forms a bond with a less electronegative atom, like hydrogen, the electrons are not shared equally. This creates a partial negative charge on the electronegative atom and a partial positive charge on the less electronegative atom. These partial charges allow for the formation of weak electrostatic interactions called hydrogen bonds between molecules.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How do hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions contribute to the tertiary structure of proteins?

<p>In an aqueous environment, hydrophobic amino acids, which are nonpolar and repel water, tend to cluster together in the interior of the folded protein structure.

<p>Osmosis is the specific type of diffusion that refers to the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration (lower solute concentration) to a region of lower water concentration (higher solute concentration). Unlike simple diffusion, osmosis is driven by the difference in water potential between two compartments.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is facilitated diffusion, and how does it differ from simple diffusion?

<p>Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves the movement of substances across a membrane with the assistance of transport proteins, such as channel proteins or carrier proteins.

How does water pass through the cell membrane, and can it pass freely?

<p>Water can pass through the cell membrane using aquaporin proteins as channels. Aquaporins are specialized proteins that facilitate the rapid passage of water molecules across the membrane. While water is small enough to pass through the membrane directly, this process is too slow to meet the cell's needs for water transport.

Describe the structure of the phospholipid bilayer.

<p>The phospholipid bilayer is the foundation of cell membranes. It consists of two layers of phospholipid molecules. Each phospholipid has a hydrophilic (water-loving) phosphate head and two hydrophobic (water-fearing) fatty acid tails. The heads face outwards towards the aqueous environment (inside and outside the cell), while the tails face inwards, forming the hydrophobic core of the membrane. This arrangement creates a barrier that allows selective passage of molecules across the membrane.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What are some factors that can affect enzyme function?

<p>All of the above (E)</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is enzyme specificity, and how does it relate to the active site of an enzyme?

<p>Enzyme specificity refers to the fact that enzymes bind to and catalyze reactions with very specific substrates. The active site of an enzyme is a three-dimensional region with a unique shape and chemical properties that complement the substrate's shape and charge. This 'lock-and-key' interaction ensures that the enzyme interacts with only its intended substrate.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How do enzymes act as biological catalysts?

<p>Enzymes act as biological catalysts by lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction. Activation energy is the minimum energy needed for reactants to reach a transition state where bonds break and rearrange. Enzymes achieve this by providing an optimal environment, often through an induced fit mechanism, where the active site conforms to the shape of the substrate, bringing the reactants together in a way that facilitates the reaction.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the difference between competitive inhibition and allosteric inhibition.

<p>Competitive inhibition occurs when an inhibitor molecule competes with the substrate for binding to the active site of an enzyme. Competitive inhibitors resemble the substrate and occupy the active site, preventing the substrate from binding. Allosteric inhibition, on the other hand, involves an inhibitor molecule binding to a separate site on the enzyme, called an allosteric site. The binding of the inhibitor to the allosteric site causes a conformational change in the enzyme's active site, making it less effective at binding the substrate.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How does increasing substrate concentration affect enzyme activity in the presence of a competitive inhibitor?

<p>Increasing substrate concentration can overcome competitive inhibition to some extent. When the substrate concentration is high enough, it can outcompete the inhibitor for binding to the active site, leading to a decrease in the overall inhibition effect.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What happens to energy when it is transferred, and where does the 'lost' energy go?

<p>Energy is neither created nor destroyed, as stated by the first law of thermodynamics. However, when energy is transferred, some of it becomes unavailable for useful work in a biological system. This is due to the concept of entropy, which states that energy tends to become more dispersed and less ordered. The 'lost' energy is often given off as heat energy, increasing the entropy of the system.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Describe the hydrolysis of ATP.

<p>ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy currency of cells. Hydrolysis of ATP involves the removal of a phosphate group (P_i) from the ATP molecule, releasing energy and forming ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate. This energy released can then be used to power various cellular processes.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is photosynthesis, and what are its two main stages?

<p>Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some algae and bacteria use sunlight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. It is essential for life on Earth as it provides a source of chemical energy and oxygen. The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).</p> Signup and view all the answers

What color of light is reflected from a pigment molecule, and what does this mean?

<p>The color of light reflected from a pigment molecule is the color we perceive. This means that the pigment molecule does not absorb that particular wavelength of light. For example, a green leaf reflects green light because chlorophyll absorbs other wavelengths of light, such as red and blue light, but not green light.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Why would a photosynthetic bacterium adjust its pigments?

<p>A photosynthetic bacterium might adjust its pigments if it encounters a different light environment that it is not optimally adapted to. For example, if a bacterium is exposed to a different wavelength of light that it typically reflects rather than absorbs, it could evolve or adjust to produce a different pigment that can absorb that wavelength of light, allowing it to acquire the energy needed for survival.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Compare and contrast ATP synthesis (chemiosmosis) in chloroplasts and mitochondria.

<p>Both chloroplasts and mitochondria utilize an electron transport chain to generate a proton gradient across a membrane. This proton gradient provides potential energy that is used to drive the synthesis of ATP by ATP synthase. The primary difference between the two processes lies in the source of electrons. In photosynthesis, electrons are derived from chlorophyll molecules, and NADP+ is the final electron acceptor. In cellular respiration, NADH and FADH2 carry electrons from the breakdown of glucose to the electron transport chain, and oxygen is the final electron acceptor.</p> Signup and view all the answers

ATP Synthesis (Chemiosmosis) in chloroplasts and mitochondria.

Both utilize an electron transport chain to generate a proton gradient. That gradient provides the potential energy needed to produce ATP using ATP Synthase as the hydrogen ions flow back through the enzyme. One difference is the source of the electrons. In Photosynthesis the electrons come from the chlorophyll molecules and NADP+ is the final electron acceptor. In Cellular Respiration, NADH and FADH2 carry the electrons to the ETC and contribute the electrons that provide the energy to pump the hydrogen ions to form the gradient. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor.

Highly Electronegative Atoms

  • Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F).

Electronegativity and Hydrogen Bonding

  • Electronegative atoms (like oxygen or nitrogen) do not share electrons equally, creating partial charges that enable hydrogen bonding.

Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Interactions

  • Hydrophobic (nonpolar) regions of proteins face inward in an aqueous environment.
  • Hydrophilic (polar) regions face outward.

Endosymbiotic Theory

  • Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA, double membranes, and are similar in size/shape to prokaryotes.
  • They can reproduce independently.

Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells

  • Eukaryotic: Nucleus, membrane-bound organelles.
  • Prokaryotic: No nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles (bacterial cells).

Surface Area to Volume Ratio

  • Smaller cells have a larger surface area to volume ratio, enabling efficient nutrient uptake and waste removal.
  • As cells increase in size, the ratio decreases.

Passive vs. Active Transport

  • Passive: High to low concentration, no ATP.
  • Active: Low to high concentration, requires ATP.

Passive Transport Types

  • Diffusion: Movement of substances from high to low concentration.
  • Osmosis: Diffusion of water.
  • Facilitated diffusion: Movement through a protein channel or carrier.

Water Movement Through Membranes

  • Water can pass through membranes freely, but aquaporin proteins facilitate faster passage.

Active Transport Types

  • Sodium-Potassium Pump: 3 Na+ out, 2 K+ in.
  • Exocytosis: Vesicle release contents outside the cell.
  • Endocytosis: Cell membrane engulfs substances and brings them into the cell.

Molecules Easily Passing Through Membranes

  • Small, nonpolar (lipid-soluble), uncharged molecules.

Molecules Needing Transport Proteins

  • Large, polar, and charged molecules require proteins to cross the membrane due to their interactions with the membrane's polar heads.

Factors Affecting Transpiration

  • Stomata closure, atmospheric water potential, soil water potential, temperature, light, wind, humidity.

Isotonic, Hypertonic, Hypotonic Solutions

  • Hypertonic: Higher solute concentration outside the cell, water moves out.
  • Isotonic: Equal solute and water concentrations.
  • Hypotonic: Lower solute concentration outside the cell, water moves in.

Osmosis and Water Potential Lab

  • The isotonic concentration was found where percent change in mass crossed zero.

Phospholipid Bilayer Structure

  • Phospholipids form a bilayer with hydrophilic heads facing the water and hydrophobic tails facing inward.
  • Cholesterol, proteins, glycolipids, glycoproteins contribute to membrane fluidity.

Factors Affecting Enzyme Function (Refer to provided graphs for specific details)

  • Temperature, pH, substrate concentration, inhibitors.

Enzyme Specificity

  • Enzyme active sites are specific to substrates (lock-and-key).
  • Specific amino acid charges/properties create optimal substrate binding.

Enzymes as Biological Catalysts

  • Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.
  • Optimal environment is provided for reactions to occur.

Competitive vs. Allosteric Inhibition

  • Competitive: Inhibitor competes with substrate for active site.
  • Allosteric: Inhibitor binds to a different site, changing the active site shape.

Increasing Substrate Concentration

  • More substrate increases the likelihood of enzyme activity competing with competitive inhibitors.

Energy Transfer and Heat

  • Energy transfer is not 100% efficient; some energy is lost as heat.

Hydrolysis of ATP

  • ATP hydrolysis releases energy for cellular work by phosphorylating other molecules.

Photosynthesis

  • Photosynthesis equation (refer to provided image).
  • Two stages: light-dependent, light-independent (Calvin cycle).

Aerobic Cellular Respiration

  • Cellular respiration equation (refer to provided image)
  • Four stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain.

Light Reflection and Pigments

  • The color we see is the wavelength reflected by the pigment molecule.

Pigment Adjustment in Photosynthetic Bacteria

  • Bacteria can adjust pigments depending on the available light wavelengths for energy acquisition.

ATP Synthesis (Chemiosmosis)

  • Chemiosmosis in both chloroplasts and mitochondria uses electron transport chains to produce a proton gradient.
  • The gradient powers ATP synthase.
  • Chloroplasts use chlorophyll, NADP+ as acceptor. Cellular respiration uses NADH, FADH2, oxygen as acceptor.

Electron Acceptors/Carriers

  • Glycolysis: NAD+ to NADH.
  • Krebs Cycle: NAD+ to NADH, FAD+ to FADH2.

Light-Dependent Reactions Products

  • ATP and NADPH are produced to transfer energy to the Calvin cycle.

Respirometer Lab

  • KOH removed CO2, enabling oxygen consumption measurement.
  • Germinating seeds consumed more oxygen.
  • Temperature affected oxygen consumption in seeds.

Positive vs. Negative Feedback

  • Positive: Amplifies the initial action. Examples: childbirth, blood clotting, ripening.
  • Negative: Returns to a set point. Examples: many hormone regulation processes.

Cell Signaling Similarities

  • Similar pathways indicate evolutionary relatedness.

Signal Transduction Pathway

  • Reception, transduction, cellular response.

Second Messengers

  • Amplify or relay responses; examples: cAMP, IP3, Ca2+.

Cell Cycle Phases

  • G1: Growth, normal function. G0: resting phase. G1 Checkpoint.
  • S: DNA synthesis. G2: Growth, preparation for division. G2 Checkpoint.
  • Mitosis: nuclear division (prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase). M Checkpoint.
  • Cytokinesis: cytoplasm division.

Cell Cycle Primary Phase

  • Interphase (G1, S, G2).

Mitosis End Result

  • Two genetically identical daughter cells.

External Cell Cycle Regulators

  • Growth factors, contact inhibition, anchorage dependence.

Internal Cell Cycle Regulators

  • Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs).

DNA and Chromosome Numbers

  • DNA replicates during S phase but chromosome number remains the same until anaphase (sister chromatids separate).
  • Proto-oncogenes (when mutated become oncogenes, causing uncontrolled division).
  • Tumor-suppressor genes (slow/inhibit division, repair errors).
