After cAMP activates PKA, it is converted into AMP by enzyme phosphodiesterase
Reaction-center complex: an association of proteins holding a special pair of chlorophyll a molecules and a primary electron acceptor.
Light-harvesting complexes: pigment molecules bound to proteins
The light-harvesting complexes transfer the energy of photons to the reaction center.
In the reaction center, chlorophyll a transfers an excited electron to the primary electron acceptor
two kinds of photosystems embedded in the thylakoid membrane
Both use in non-cyclic flow of electrons
Photosystem I (PS I) The reaction-center chlorophyll a absorbs at 700 nm
Used in cyclic electron flow
The flow of electrons converts to cyclic when there is excess NADPH.
As electrons in PS1 are transferred to Fd, they are recruited to the cytochrome complex and plastocyanin molecules of the electron transport chain.
The movement of electrons leads to formation of ATP by photophosphorylation
Photosystem II (PS II)-The reaction-center chlorophyll a absorbs at 680
As electrons are transferred down the ETC, energy is released which is used to pump H+ against their concentration gradient
It's different because Electrons are extracted from water and transferred to CO2. Oxidizing H2O and reducing CO2
STAGE ONE
Solar energy is converted to chemical energy through light reactions.
Light Reactions
Occur in the thylakoids of the chloroplasts.
Are carried out by molecules in the thylakoid membranes
Convert light energy to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH
Split H2O and release O2 to the atmosphere
In order to provide electrons and protons, H2O is split.
O2 is released as a waste product
NADP+ reduces to NADPH
photophosphorylation generates ATP.
STAGE TWO
With the help of the NADPH and ATP produced by the light reactions, The Calvin cycle produces sugar from CO2
The Calvin Cycle
Takes place in the stroma
Uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 to the sugar G3P
Returns ADP, inorganic phosphate, and NADP+ to the light reactions
Phase 1: Carbon fixation
Phase 2: Reduction
Phase 3: Regeneration of CO2 acceptor
Through carbon fixation CO2 is initially incorporated into an organic molecule
In order to reduce CO2, NADPH provides electrons needed, and ATP provides the necessary chemical energy.
photophosphorylation: The process of generating ATP from ADP and phosphate by means of chemiosmosis, using a proton-motive force generated across the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast or the membrane of certain prokaryotes during the light reactions of photosynthesis.
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll: light harvesting pigments
The structure contains a head and a tail.
Porphyrin ring: light-absorbing “head” of molecule, there is a magnesium atom at the center
Hydrocarbon tail: interacts with hydrophobic regions of proteins inside thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
Consists of PS1 and PS2 along with components of the electron transport chain
H+s are pumped into the thylakoid space, so inside of thylakoid a lot H+ are present
H+ get back out of the thylakoid down their concentration gradient.
The energy from movement down the gradient is used to form ADP
Chlorophyll has chlorophyll a and b
Chlorophyll a contains CH3, chlorophyll b contains CHO
Mesophyll: The interior tissue of the leaf
Each mesophyll cell contains 30-40 chloroplasts
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Input: 1 Glucose, 2 ATP, 2 NAD+
Net Output: 2 Lactic Acid, 2 NAD+, 2 ATP
Glycolysis occurs (w/o Oxygen) forms 2 Pyruvate and net 2 ATP
2 Pyruvate us reduced by NADH to form Lactic Acid
NADH gives up electron so it can be recycled and be reused in glycolysis
Alcohol Fermentation
Input: 2 ATP, Glucose, 2 NAD+
Net Output: 2 Ethanol, 2 NADH (Get recycled), 2 ATP, 2 CO2
3 Steps
1st- Glycolysis occurs (even w/o oxygen) and 2 Pyruvate form.
2nd- Pyruvate forms 2 Acetaldehyde which reduced to ethanol (2 NAD+ -> NADH)
When reduced, NADH donates electrons so it can be recycled for glycolysis.
Input: NADH & FADH
Output: 26-28 ATP
2 Main Components
Chemiosmosis
ATP synthase facilitates diffusion of H+, b/c of the gradient so H+ is going from high to low (Intermembrane -> Matrix)
Energy is released by the movement of H+ down the gradient, allowing the ATP synthase to add phosphate to ATP to ADP
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
Made up of 4 Complexes, I, II, III, & IV
Electrons from NADH & FADH are transported through complexes & release free energy as electrons travel
Free energy is used to pump H+ ions through to the inter-membrane, creating a H+ concentration gradient (complex's also serve as pumps)
Finally, after traveling through complexes & losing energy, electrons are added to oxygen (reducing it)
Input: 1 Acetyl CoA, 3 NAD+
Output: 1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH, 2 CO2
Consist of 8 Steps
3 Key Steps
1st Step- Acetyl CoA is added to oxaloacetate forming citrate
3rd Step- Isocitrate is oxidized & NAD+ is reduced forming NADH+, CO2 is produced
8th Step- Malate is oxidized, NAD+ converts to NADH, oxloacetate is reformed (restarts cycle)
Quick Overview
Input: 2 Pyruvate, CoA enzyme, 2 NAD+
Output: 2 NADH, 2 Acetyl CoA, 2 CO2
Consist of 4 Steps
Step One- Pyruvate from cytosol (glycolysis) go into the mitochondria
Step Two- The pyruvate gets oxidized & electrons are transferred to NAD+ to NADH
Step Three- Carbon Dioxide is lost, CoA enzyme is added
Acetyl CoA is formed
Quick Overview
Input: 2 ATP, 2 NAD+, & 1 Glucose
Output: 2 Pyruvate, 4 ATP, 2 NADH

Consist of 10 Steps, 5 Energy Investment & 5 Energy Payout Stages
Input's Include- 2 ATP, 2 NAD+, & 1 Glucose
Step One- Glucose turns into Gluc 6- Phosphate w/ the addition of one ATP & Hexokinase
Step Two- Gluc 6-phosphate converts to fructose 6-phosphate w/ phosphoglucoisomerase
Step Three- Fructose 6-phosphate converts to fructose 1,6 bi-phosphate w/ the addition of one ATP & phosphofructokinase
Step Four- Fructose 1,6 bi-phos is cleaved in half by Aldolase which makes it into two three-carb sugars
Step Five- The two three carb sugars both convert to G3P
Step Six- Both G3P's are oxidized, making NAD+ into NADH (electron carrier), free energy is used to add phos groups to G3P
Step Seven- The phos groups of the 1,3 biphosgly is added to ADP to make ATP (2 Total)
Step Eight- The one remaining phos-group of 3-phosgly is relocated by phosphoceromatase
Step Nine- Enolase removes H2O making 2 phos-pyruvate (PEP)
Step Ten- Pyruvate kinase takes phos from PEP thus making 2 ATP & 2 Pyruvate
Signal binds to receptor in cytoplasm
Signal-receptor complex enter the nucleus & binds to genes
Cellular Response
Signaling molecular called Ligand binds to receptor
1st messenger
After Ligand binds the channel opens and specific ions can flow through
Allowing ions to flow through the channel immediately changes concentration inside the cell, and can change the way the cell works
Receptor tyrosine kinase proteins (inactive monomers)
Signal molecules bind and form dimer
Phosphate groups are added and the tyrosine kinase receptor is fully activated
Inactive relay proteins bind to receptors and become active
Kinase= adds phosphate groups
Signaling molecule binds to extracellular side of receptor
Receptor activates and changes shape
G protein binds to plasmic side and activates now carrying GTP instead of GDP
Once activated G protein leaves receptor, and binds to enzyme activating it and changing the shape
Ion dipole: Complete positive charge with water bond
Hydrophilic
Hydrophobic interactions
& human diseases
movement in membranes is regulated by the cholesterol in membranes
movement is reduced as temperature decreases
when this happens the membrane becomes more gel-like.
hydrophilic because of the phosphate group
they control the movement of molecules across the cell membrane
DNA + RNA
DNA provides directions for its own replication + directs synthesis of mRNA
phosphodiester linkage between nucleotides
nucleotides contain phosphate group, 5-carbon, nitrogenous base
