Photosynthesis is the process that plants convert solar energy into the energy stored in chemical bonds. This consists of two reactions, light dependent and light independent.

Proteins that help regulate chemical reactions in cells?
No, they are not.
What is an active site and what is its relationship to an enzyme?
an active site in an enzyme is the area that breaks the bond in its substrate. E.g. a maltose molecule's glycocide bond is broken by the active site in a maltase enzyme.
What is a substrate in the context of enzyme reaction?
Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.
What do you think the molecules are with the -ase endings on them?
-ase is a common suffix used to name various enzymes. So, as an example, a nuclease is an enzyme that cleaves nucleic acids and a telomerase is an enzyme that extends the telomeres. Both produce different outcomes yet both end with -ase.
A substance which helps a reaction to take place but that does not take an active part is a?
A substance which helps with chemical reactions, by making them possible at all, or reducing the effort required, is a catalyst.
What enzyme helps produce ATP in light reaction?
In plants and algae, the enzyme RUBISCO helps with photosynthesis.
What do the processes of photosynthesis and cell respiration have in common?
photosynthesis and cellular respiration can smd.
What classes of enzyme does synthase belong to?
ligase
What protein enzyme is involved in chemiosmosis?
ATP synthase
What spins to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP?
The rotor part of the ATP synthase enzyme.
What enzyme adds a phosphate group to ADP?
ATP synthase
Do chloroplast synthesize ATP?
Chloroplasts produce glucose by photosynthesis. glucose is used to generate ATP
What is found in most enzyme names?
-ase i.e. Carboxylase, ATP synthase
When ATP synthase in activated it adds a phosphate group to what molecule?
ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule. ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase (ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)
Can ATP synthase move about in the cytosol of the mitochondrian?
Definitely not, as ATP synthase is a membrane-bound enzyme. It is integrated into the inner mitochondrial membrane (and the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts).
What is ihe function of oxysomes of mitochondria?
The function of oxysome is to act as ATP synthase enzyme.
What enzyme is common to both plant and animal cells in production of ATP?
ATP Synthase
