Unit 4

Objectives 1 and 2
Energy is stored in living things as chemical energy. All life processes are energy requiring. Some obvious examples: movement, growth, reproduction, active transport, and maintaining cellular organization (remember systems go from a state of order to disorder unless there is an input of energy).


Objective 3
1. Starch and glycogen are both storage forms of energy. Since ATP breaks down readily (unstable) it is not used to store energy.
2. ATP
3. Cellular respiration
4. Eating
5. No. Cellular respiration occurs in all body cells.


Objective 4
1. Useful energy is energy that is able to accomplish work.
2. Entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder in a system. This is useless energy; it can’t accomplish work. As heat radiates from the bodies of organisms in space, it represents useless energy. It can’t be used to boil water for example!
3. 2nd Thus, during any energy conversion, the amount of useful energy decreases (entropy increases). That is why there is a decrease in the amount of energy in a food chain as you go from one trophic level to the next. The energy is not lost to the universe (it remains the same). However, in each energy conversion some of the energy winds up in the form of heat energy that radiates out into space.
4. Disorder
5. Order

Objective 5 and 6
1. Endergonic
2. Exergonic
3. Downhill
4. Uphill
5. Endergonic; Exergonic
6. Small; unstable

Objective 7
a. False—Reduction is a loss of oxygen.
b. True
c. True
d. True
e. False—The reduced form of a compound contains more energy than the oxidized form.

B. 2 pyruvate +  6NAD+ + 2FAD +  2ADP +  2Pi -----> 6CO2 + 6NADH +  6H+ +  2FADH2 +2ATP

C. Summary equation for the electron transport system (chemiosmotic phosphorylation)
     2FADH2 + 10NADH2 + 34ADP + 34Pi + 6O2 ------>  10NAD+ + 2FAD+ + 12H2O + 34ATP

Objective 16
1. glycolysis .... Krebs Cycle
2. deamination
3. carbohydrates ....fats .... the last type of molecule used for energy and would be harmful
4. Lipids are more reduced than carbohydrates, i.e., they have more hydrogen per carbon atom

Objective 17
1. same (poikilothermic is another term for ectothermic)
2. A temperature increase would increase the activity of all. The reverse would be true for a temperature decease.
3. may be different, they maintain a relatively constant body temperature that may be either higher or lower than the temperature of their environment
4. 1)  increase metabolic rate.....this increases amount of heat energy generated since heat energy is a by-product of cellular respiration  2)  sub-cutaneous fat layers...this provides insulation  so that heat energy doesn't  leave the body so rapidly   3)  shivering....increases the rate of cellular respiration since shivering involves muscle contractions and hence elevates body temperature 4) shunting blood to body interior...not as much heat is lost through radiation from the body surface  5) behavioral mechanisms such as huddling, staying in burrows when the temperature of the air drops
5. 1)  sweating....heat is carried away from the body surface by evaporative cooling   2) panting....again heat is lost through evaporative cooling  3)   shunting of blood to body surface so heat is lost via radiation from the body surface  4) behavioral mechanisms such as limiting periods of activity to night when temperatures are lower.
6. Periods of very low metabolic rate......no

Objectives 18 and 19
1. Membranes provide an attachment surface for molecules so that specific enzymes, pigments, or electron carrier molecules can be arranged in specific order along a membrane.
2. The separation allows light capture and the machinery associated with it to be separated from the reduction of carbon dioxide to glucose.

Objective 20
1. Waves 400 to 500 nanometers in length (violet-blue) and waves 625 to 700 nanometers in length (orange-red).
2. Each pigment absorbs slightly different wave lengths of visible light.
3. More light energy can be captured.

Objective 22

1. Electron of chlorophyll molecule
2. Two "excited" electrons (two photons of light are required) from chlorophyll along with two hydrogen ions(created from the photolysis of water) are used to reduce NADP+ to NADPH + H+.
3. Glucose contains more energy than NADPH + H+.
4. Photolysis is the splitting of the water molecule into hydrogen ions (protons), electrons, and oxygen gas.
5. Light energy is required for photolysis.
6. As the "excited" electrons created by photons move from one carrier molecule to the next along the thylakoid membrane, the energy that is released is used to pump protons (H ions) into the thylakoid space.
7. ATP
8. ATP and NADPH + H+

Objective 23
1. 12H2 0 + 12NADP+ + 18ADP + 18Pi   ----light chlorophyll----->   602 +12NADPH+12H+ +18ATP
