Process of Photosynthesis Shawanda D. Robinson BIO 204 Plant Physiology Monday‚ January 26‚ 2015 Brandy McFadden Process of Photosynthesis We all learned in elementary school that the suns provide nutrients and components that help plans grow. “As the name implies‚ photosynthesis is a process that uses light energy to synthesize something.” (Mauseth‚ 2014) That process is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process where plants use light energy from the sun. If we

Biochemistry Task 5 Shannon Alford Lipid Storage Molecule Conversion to ATP Lipids (also known as fats) are nonpolar‚ insoluble molecules gained within the body trough digestion of food. Triglycerides‚ a type of lipid that serve as storage units for energy have 3 fatty acid chain tails made up of carboxylic acid and a fatty carbon chain attached to a glycerol backbone. These molecules can be saturated or unsaturated contingent on the bond types and hydrogen number in the molecule. Anytime a fatty

H2O as shown; CH3COCOOH + O2 CO2 + H2O + Energy Diagram showing the Krebs Cycle Other names of Krebs Cycle; Citric Acid Cycle Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle Stages in which C02‚ H2O and Energy is released; 1: Glycolysis ("splitting of sugar"): This step happens in the cytoplasm. One Glucose (C6H12O6) is broken down to 2 molecules of pyruvic acid. Results in the production of 2 ATPs for every glucose 2: Transition Reaction: Pyruvic Acid is shuttled into the mitochondria

soluble substances such as glucose and fructose which are the building blocks for all carbohydrates. They are used as energy in respiration by being broken down in to carbon dioxide and water. ATP‚ an immediate energy source‚ is released during the glycolysis and the Krebs cycle whilst also being generated through the electron transfer chain. Monosaccharides are classified according to the number of carbon atoms‚ if it contains 3 carbons they are called Trioses e.g. glyceraldehydes which plays a part

exercise. Especially those lasting up to 12 seconds. the lactic acid system will continue providing ATP molecules to create required energy. This system produces lactic acid as a waste product in the chemical breakdown of glucose and glycogen (glycolysis). After lactic acid system has used all PC‚ body needs to find a new fuel in the form of blood glucose or glycogen stored in the muscle to keep going. Lactic acid then builds up in the cell and is transferred into the blood stream where the body

Coupled Reactions Louella Rose E. Tan‚ Frances May L. Coralde Institute of Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City 1101 Philippines Results and Discussion A combustion reaction is a reaction that liberates heat and light. Magnesium is a stable element and reacts violently with evolution of much heat and light. The reason the magnesium burned in carbon dioxide was because it combined with the oxygen in the CO2 leaving elemental carbon behind. CO2(g) C(S) + O2(g)

1. Differentiate between catabolic and anabolic chemical pathways. Using these definitions‚ how would you classify what is happening inside a dead bird? a green plant? The term catabolism refers to all of the catabolic reactions that are occurring in a cell. Catabolic reactions refers to the breaking down of larger molecules into smaller molecules which requires the breaking of bonds. Since chemical bonds are broken in catabolic reactions‚ energy is released. These types of reactions therefore

Throughout term two our class has been participating in the unit of tennis. We have researched the key components of fitness for a tennis player and have conducted a number of fitness tests to base ourselves upon. By evaluating myself on these tests‚ I have chosen to compete against Contender A of the 4 contenders. My decision in doing this not only lies upon where my strengths are where stronger then his weaknesses‚ but where i am weak he is not strong. A typical tennis player‚ apart from skill

Midterm Study Guide Answers 1. A hypothesis is an explanation of observations. “If the floor is wet‚ I will slip.” 2. A controlled experiment is when only one variable is changed. 3. If the plant you are experimenting with has a disease that is an unavoidable experimental error. 4. An enzyme speeds up reactions and lowers the energy it takes to produce something‚ a lock and key. 5. Autotrophs make their own food by producing sugars from sunlight and various chemicals. 6
