Study Guide for Test Three

 

Chapter 4 and some additional information that any respectable textbook ought to have.  I guess some of it is stuck in chapter 8.

1.       Enzymes are usually made of what?  What do enzymes do?  How do they do it?

2.       Are enzymes altered or used up in a reaction?

3.       Be able to name types of potential and kinetic energy

4.       Be able to explain the meaning of these terms:  reactant, product, substrate, catalyst, activation energy, enzyme, denatured,

5.       Are enzymes altered or used up by a reaction

6.       What is a metabolic pathway?  Why are the enzymes in a pathway usually close to each other.  What happens to an enzyme at abnormally high temperature?  What happens to an enzyme at low or high pH numbers?

7.       How do pH, temperature and concentration affect enzyme function?

8.       How do enzymes speed up reactions?

24.   Why is oxygen used as the electron receptor at the end of the electron transport chain?

25.   How many turns of the calvin cycle are needed to make 3GP

26.   know ALL the inputs and outputs of glycolysis.  Where does it happen?  What happens to the pyruvate?

27.   What happens to the high energy electrons released in glycolysis and krebs?  What molecule absorbs those electrons?

28.   What does Oxidative Phosphorylation use electrons for?  What energy carrying molecule donates those electrons?  Where what process gave the electrons to this energy carrier molecule?

29.   Know the meaning of the terms diffusion & osmosis.  Know when (i.e. under what conditions) they happen?

30.   What organisms are capable of photosynthesis?

31.  What is RUBISCO?  What is it’s job?  What molecule can interefer with doing that job?

32.  What is photorespiration, and under what conditions does it usually occur?

33.    C4 and CAM are both water saving strategies that some plants use.  Be able to explain HOW they work.  Which one involves only opening stomata at night when it is cool?  Which one separates the CO2 gathering mesophyll cells from the bundle cells that do carbon fixation?

 

 

 

 Have no fear, we’ll still talk about the cool genetics stuff in chapters 9…..we’re just doing that as part of Test 4.

 

Chapter 9 (the mitosis bits) & Chapter 11  we’re skipping chapter 10….too much cancer stuff.
