| Question | Answer |
| Carbohydrates are central to ________ and they are important for _________________ | Carbohydrates are central to metabolism and they are important for cell recognition. |
| Carbohydrates are _______ in green plants by __________ a process that uses ______ ______ to reduce _______ ________ | Carbohydrates are synthesized in green plants by photosynthesis a process that uses solar energy to reduce carbon dioxide. |
| The overall equation for photosynthesis | xCO2 + y H2O + solar energy -> Cx(H20)y + xO2 (carbohydrate) |
| During photosynthesis the carbon dioxide is reduced to ______ while the _______ is _______ to ______ | During photosynthesis the carbon dioxide is reduced to carbohydrates while the water is oxidized to oxygen. |
| Carbohydrates act as a major ______ _________ for solar energy | Carbohydrates act as a major chemical repository(storage) for solar energy. |
| Carbohydrates energy is released when animals or plants _______ _________ into _______ and _______. | Carbohydrates energy is released when animals or plants metabolize carbohydrates into carbon dioxide and water. |
| Metabolism of Carbohydrates formula | Cx(H2O0y + x O2 -> x CO2 + yH2O + energy |
| The metabolism of carbohydrates takes place through a series of ________________ reactions in which each energy-yielding step is an _________ or consequence of it. | The metabolism of carbohydrates takes place through a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions in which each energy-yielding step is an oxidation or consequence of it. |
| Some energy released in the oxidation of carbohydrates is converted to ______ but much is conserved in a new chemical form through reactions that are coupled to the synthesis of ____________ (___) from ___________ (___) and inorganic ________ (__) | Some energy released in the oxidation of carbohydrates is converted to heat but much is conserved in a new chemical form through reactions that are coupled to the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (pi) |
| When the energy in ATP is used a coupled reaction takes place in which ATP is hydrolyzed, or a new anhydride linkage is created. | RCOOH + ATP -> RCOOPOOO + ADP |
