instructions for making enzymes are
found in a cells gene
chemical reactions - either
split apart or join together
substrate is a molecule changed in a reaction
every enzyme has an active site - substrate joins to enzyme
enzymes only speed up one reaction
substrate has to be correct shape to fit into active site
called LOCK AND KEY method
need the right temperature and pH
specific constant temp to work at OPTIMUM
high temp increases rate at first
too hot = bonds break // enzymes
change shape of active site // substrate
doesn't fit // enzyme doesn't work // =
DENATURED
Respiration
RESPIRATION is series of chemical reactions that
RELEASES ENERGY by breaking down FOOD
MOLECULES.
movement - muscle contraction
active transport - move
substances in or out of
cells
synthesis of large molecules
glucose joined to make starch
and cellulose in plant cells
animal & plant cells glucose and nitrogen
joined to make amino acids - joined
together to make proteins
there are two types
Aerobic - WITH OXYGEN
Releases more energy per
glucose molecule
takes place in animal and plant cells
and microorganisms
Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ Energy Released)
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O
Anaerobic - WITHOUT OXYGEN
Humans Cells // Vigorous exercise,
body can't supply enough oxygen
to muscle cells for aerobic
respiration
Plant Cells // Soil becomes waterlogged,
no oxygen available for roots
Bacterial Cells // Under skin through puncture
skin, little oxygen.
Animal & Plant Cells can produce lactic acid // Glucose =
Lactic Acid (+Energy Released)
Plant Cells and Microorganisms
produce ehtanol and carbon dioxide -
Glucose = Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide (+
Energy Released)
Fermentation - microorganisms break
down sugars
Biogas
ferment plant&animal waste -
contains carbs
gas produced mainly methane and
carbon dioxide
Bread
made using YEAST
ferment carbs in flour & release
CO2 - bread rise
Alcohol
YEAST ferment SUGAR to
form ALCOHOL
photosynthesis
series of chemical reactions
that USES ENERGY from
SUNLIGHT to PRODUCE FOOD
happens in green parts of
plants & some
microorganisms
chlorophyll is needed
green substance absorb sunlight,
allows energy to convert CO2 and
H20 into glucose (C6H12O6)
Carbon Dioxide + Water = Glucose + Oxygen
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 = 6O2
glucose
respiration
chemicals for growth
stored as starch
Rate of Photosynthesis
amount of light
amount of CO2
temperature

identification key
Diffusion
the passive overall movement of particles from a
region of their HIGHER CONCENTRATION to a region of
their LOWER CONCENTRATION
Osmosis
overall movement of water from a dilute
to a MORE CONCENTRATED solution
through a partially permeable membrane
Active Transport
overall movement of chemicals across a cell
membrane from a region of LOWER
CONCENTRATION to a region of HIGHER
CONCENTRATION using ENERGY released by
respiration
