Enzymes

Enzyme Notes

Enzyme Structure and Function - their job

  1. What type of macromolecule is an enzyme? (carbohydrate, protein, lipid, nucleic acid)

    • Protein
  2. What is the job of an enzyme?

    • Speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy required for biochemical reactions.
  3. Activation Energy, Substrate, Active Site

    • How do enzymes work? How do they make reactions happen so quickly?
      • Enzymes work by binding to substrates at the active site, temporarily forming an enzyme-substrate complex that reduces the activation energy needed for the reaction, thereby speeding it up.
  4. Draw and label an enzyme with a substrate, reactants, and products. Use the potato experiment and hydrogen peroxide and catalase as your example:

  5. Factors affecting enzymes, denaturation

    • Name 4 factors that affect the rate of an enzyme:
      • a. Temperature
      • b. pH level
      • c. Salt level
      • d. Concentration
  6. What happens if an enzyme is in an extreme environment?

    • Denatures
  7. Explain the graph of pH and enzyme activity above:

    • Every enzyme has its own ideal level of pH. When the pH is at the optimum level, the enzyme will act at a faster rate.

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis Notes

Formula for Photosynthesis

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sunlight → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ Light Dependent and Light Independent Reactions

  • Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes and produce ATP and NADPH.
  • Light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) occur in the stroma and use ATP and NADPH to synthesize glucose. d. How can photosynthesis be measured?
  • By oxygen output, glucose production, or CO₂ uptake.

Photosynthesis Details

  • Step: Light Reaction
    • Where it happens: Thylakoid membrane
    • Requires: Sunlight & Water, ADP, NADP⁺
    • Produces: ATP, NADPH, O₂
  • Step: Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reaction)
    • Where it happens: Stroma
    • Requires: CO₂, ATP, NADPH
    • Produces: Glucose

Chloroplast Structure

Molecules in Photosynthesis

  • ATP & ADP cycle
    • ADP -> ATP (ADP is not charged, ATP is charged with energy)
    • NADP⁺ -> NADPH (NADP⁺ is not charged, NADPH is charged with hydrogen ions and electrons)
StepWhere It HappensRequiresProduces
Light ReactionThylakoid MembraneSunlight & Water, 2 ADP, 2 NADP+ATP, NADPH, O2
Calvin Cycle (Light-Independent Reaction)Stroma6 CO2, 18 ATP, 12 NADPHGlucose, 18 ADP, 12 NADP+

Cell Respiration & Fermentation

Cell Respiration Notes

Where Cell Respiration happens

  • In the mitochondria.

When does fermentation occur?

  • When no oxygen is available for aerobic respiration.

Cell Respiration Details

  • Step: Glycolysis

    • Where: Cytoplasm
    • Requires: Glucose
    • Produces: 2 Pyruvate, 2 ATP, 2 NADH
  • Step: Krebs Cycle

    • Where: Mitochondrial Matrix
    • Requires: 2 Acetyl CoA
    • Produces: 6 CO₂, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH₂
  • Step: Electron Transport Chain

    • Where: Inner mitochondrial membrane
    • Requires: O₂, NADH, FADH₂
    • Produces: H₂O, approximately 32-34 ATP

Molecules in Cell Respiration

  • NAD⁺/NADH cycle

    • NAD⁺ is not charged, while NADH is charged with electrons and hydrogen ions.
  • FAD/FADH₂ cycle

    • FAD is not charged, while FADH₂ is charged with electrons and hydrogen ions.

Fermentation Types

  • Lactic Acid Fermentation
    • Occurs in muscle cells and some bacteria and yeast without oxygen.
    • Glucose is required and produces lactic acid and 2 ATP.
  • Alcoholic Fermentation
    • Occurs in yeast and some bacteria without oxygen.
    • Glucose is required and produces ethanol and 2 ATP.
