Organisms

In biological systems, multiple processes ensure the proper functioning of cells. Photosynthesis, crucial for energy conversion in plants, involves structures like thylakoids in chloroplasts, where light absorption and photophosphorylation occur.

 Organisms

TRANSCRIPTION

Transcription occurs in nucleus
Trancription and translation both occur in cytoplasm
Both processes can occur simultaneously

GO DOWN ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN

Electrons are also fed here from water after O2 is released

Electrons get excited and get grabbed by electron acceptor molecule

Cycle continues until reached by main reaction center pair of chlorophyll a

Energy is then aborbed by the next molecule

Fluorescence

Protons cause an afterglow

When pigment molecules absorb light, electrons get excited and unstable

When electrons fall back down, they release absorbed energy

Gene Expression
Enzymes
Substrates

Cooperativity

Substrate binds to 1 of the present active sites

Binding of 1 causes change in all of the rest/ cause the rest to become active

Activators and inhibitors

Allosteric

Binds to the NON- active site

No prod can be formed from adding more substrate

Enzyme is changed shape to accomodate the allosteric inhibitor/activator

Competitive

Fights/ Blocks for active site

Product is formed from adding more substrate

G- Protein Coupled Receptor
G- Protein is coupled with GDP and rests as in an inactive state.

Ligand reaches G- Protein Receptor

GTP ("a form of ATP") binds to the G-protein receptor while the Receptor changes shape causeing the G-protein to simultaneously release GDP.

The G-protein slides across the membrane towards the enzyme Adenyl Cyclase

Once it reaches and binds to the enzyme, it uses a phosphate from GTP (ATP) to produce cAMP.

GTP reverts back to GDP using Phosphatase to break off a phosphate

Travels back across the membrane with GDP to bind to the G-Protein receptor

cAMP- Cyclic AMP

Removes phosphates using the enzyme Phosphosdiesterase

1st protein Kinase activated

cascade

2nd Protein Kinase activates

Cell Signaling Pathway
Step 1: Small Non-Polar molecules (Such as steroids) pass through the cell membrane

Step 2: The signal molecule reaches the receptor which binds/ conforms to the signal molecule

Step 3: The signal molecule and the receptor has confirmation to pass through the nuclear pores on the nuclear membranes

Step 4: Activates gene expression

Simple Diffusion

Cell Respiration

Glycolysis
Makes ATP through substrate level phosphorylation
Occurs in cytoplasm of cell, occurs in two phases

Through several reaction, 2 NAD+ is turned into 2 NADH and 4 ADPs are turned into 4 ATP. 2 molecules of water are also released.

Net: 2 NADH, 2 ATP

NADH formed in all reactions are used in electron transport chain

End result of glycolysis: 2 Pyruvates

Step 1: Hexokinase takes phosphate group from ATP and gives it to Glucose, to form Glucose 6-phosphate

Step 3: Phosphofructokinase gives Fructose 6-phosphate a phosphate from ATP. So far 2 ATP have been used.

Anaerobic
Lactic Acid

breaks down carbohydrate to use energy when oxygen levels are low

Anaerobic processes occur without the presence of oxygen
Aerobic
Pyruvate Oxidation

No ATP produced

Takes 2 molecules of pyruvate from glycolysis and forms 2 Acetyl CoA

2 molecules of CO2 and NADP are formed and released

Citric acid cycle (Krebs Cycle)

Electron transport chain

Net result: 26 or 28 ATP

Oxidative phosphorylation

NADH and FADH2 give up their electrons to a less electronegative carrier

Electrons move down chain to increasingly electronegative carriers, releasing energy through each transition

Electrons end up meeting oxygen at the end of the chain to form water

Energy released is used to pump protons against their concentration gradient into inner membrane space

Chemiosis

Protons are able to flow down their concentration gradient through ATP synthase, which provides the energy needed to add a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP

Occurs in inner membrane space ad miochondrial matrix

Substrate-level phosphorylation

Acetyl CoA changes oxaloacetate into citrate

Water is released, citrate is changed into isocitrate

Isocitrate is oxidized, NADH is reduced to form alpha ketoglutarate. CO2 is released

More reactions occur, end result is Malate being oxidized to form oxaloacetate and the cycle continues

Net result: 3 NADH, 1 ATP, 1 FADH2

Occurs in mitochondira
