What molecule is split during the light reactions of photosynthesis of release oxygen?
Water is split during light reactions to release oxygen.
What is the difference between condensation and hydrolysis reactions?
Condensation and hydrolysis are almost like opposite reactions. In condensation, two molecules react to form one larger molecule while giving off a smaller molecule such as water (hence the term condensation). The reverse occurs in hydrolysis where a molecule such as water attacks a larger molecule that is susceptible to hydrolysis and breaks it down into two smaller molecules.
How do enzymes help break down your food?
A process called enzymatic hydrolysis breaks the bonds holding the molecular building blocks within the food together. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction with water that results in the break up of a molecule into two parts.
Which molecules carry energy to the light-independent reactions?
Calvin cycle is what molecule carrys energy to the light-independent reactions.
What molecules are used to power dark reactions What molecule does this energy breakdown?
NADPH2 and ATP produced during photolysis of water in light reaction are used to power dark reactions of photosynthesis in which CO2 is assimilated to form glucose.
What in a molecule influences the way that a molecule reacts.?
Functional groups are responsible for chemical reactions of molecules.
Many carbon-based molecules are rearranged What molecule is made as a result of these reactions?
Glucose
Why enzymes are called hydrolytic enzymes?
Careful! Not all enzymes are hydrolytic. Hydrolytic enzymes catalyse reactions in which there is breaking of molecules (involving the participation of water molecules). There are enzymes which catalyse reactions in which molecules join together to form a larger molecule (condensation reactions)
What is the smallest unit of a molecule?
An atom. It not REALLY indivisible, but it is the fundamental building block of molecules.
What particles combine to form molecules?
Atoms combine to form molecules. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, and when they bond together through chemical reactions, they form molecules. Each molecule consists of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
What organic molecule seeds up chemical reactions?
Chemical reactions are speeded up by enzymes (= proteins, = organic molecules) or more in general: by catalyst
Series of reactions that produce two ATP molecules by breaking down a glucose molecule to pyruvic acid?
Glycolysis is a series of reactions in which a glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid, producing two molecules of ATP. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is the first stage of cellular respiration.
What is in a molecule influences the way that molecule reacts?
Functional groups are responsible for chemical reactions of molecules.
What molecule is split during the light reactions of photosynthesis of release oxygen?
Water is split during light reactions to release oxygen.
What are the building blocks of fats?
Neutral fats are esthers of a glycerol molecule, and three fatty acid molecules.
A series of reactions that produce two ATP molecules by breaking down a glucose molecule to pyruvic acid?
Glycolysis
During the Calvin cycle many carbon-based molecules are rearranged What molecule is made as a result of these reactions?
glucose
