PRINCIPLES OF BIOLOGY I

Sectional Outline #2       

I.           Chemical Reactions

            reactants / products

                                     metabolic terms

                                                 anabolism, catabolism

  chemical reaction terms

                                      combination, decomposition, exchange

                          energetic terms

                                      endergonic, exergonic

                           activation energy

                                      enzymes                         

II.       Molecules of Life

            Carbohydrates

            Proteins

            Fats

            Nucleic acids (DNA, RNA)

            ATP

            III.  Photosynthesis - sunlight into glucose (chloroplasts)

                        Cyclic Photophosphorylation
                                    Antenna - P700
                                                chlorophyll molecules
                                    Electron transport chain
                                    Product - ATP
                        Non-cylclic photophosphorylation
                                    Antenna - P700 & p 680
                                    Electron transport chain
                                    Products
                                                ATP,  NADPre,  H+ gradient (becomes ATP)
                        Calvin cycle
                                                                 
           IV.      Cellular Respiration - Glucose into ATP (mitochondria)

                        Oxidative cellular respiration - 5 Stages per handout
                        Non-oxidative cellular respiration - Fermentation
                                    Plant cells produce ethanol
                                    Animal cells produce Lactic acid
