B4
- Enzymes
- Biological
catalysts
that speed
up chemical
reactions
- Work best at
optimum pH or
temperature
- Exceeding optimums
makes the enzyme
change shape, or
denature
- Lock and Key Model
- Respiration
- Aerobic
- Energy used for
movement, active
transport and
synthesis of large
molecules
- With
oxygen
- Releases
more energy
per glucose
molecule
- Equations
- A series of food
chemical reactions
that release energy
by breaking down
large food molecules
- Anaerobic
- Without oxygen
- Less energy per glucose molecule
- Equations
- Animal cells and some bacteria
- Glucose ==> Lactic Acid
- Plant cells and some microorganisms
- Glucose ==> Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide
- Fermentation
- When microorganisms break down sugars into
other products as they respire anaerobically
- Biogas
- Fuel for heating and lighting
- Lots of different
microorganisms used to
produce it
- Ferment plant and animal
waste, which contains
carbohydrates
- Biogas produced mainly
made of methane and
carbon dioxide
- Bread
- Made using yeast
- Yeast ferment carbohydrates in flour and
release carbon dioxide, causing bread to rise
- Alcohol
- Yeast ferment sugar
to form alcohol
- Sugar used in
alcohol production
comes from grapes
(for wine) and barley
(for beer)
- Photosynthesis
- A series of food chemical reactions that uses
energy from sunlight to produce food
- Produces glucose - a sugar
- Happens in leaf cells
- Chlorophyll is a green substance which absorbs
sunlight and allows energy to be used to convert
carbon dioxide and water into glucose
- Equations
- Glucose
- Used for respiration - releases energy from glucose
- Used to make chemicals for growth
- Converted into cellulose for cell walls
- Combined with nitrogen to make amino acids to make proteins
- Helps to make chlorophyll
- Stored as starch - in roots, stems and leaves, used
when rates of photosynthesis is slower, like winter
- Factors
- When a factor stops
photosynthesis from
happening any faster, it
becomes a limiting factor
- Light
- Carbon Dioxide
- Temperature
- Diffusion - passive overall movement
of particles from a region of higher
concentration to a region of lower
concentration
- Osmosis - overall movement of water
from a region of higher concentration to a
region of lower concentration through a
partially permeable memberane
- Active Transport - overall movement of chemicals across a cell
membrane from a region o lower concentration to a region of higher
concentration using energy released by respiration
