Chap 4   Chapter 5 : Energy   Chap 6

energy Hoover; concentration GRADIENT: unstable! Rolling BALL demo.
FIRE=respiration releases greenhouse; potential in cellulose
thermodynamics Ch04 Chloroplast MITOCHONDRION
ATP SAY currency is money. It's a NUCLEOTIDE Adenosine=nucleoside (sugar+base); disaccharide/triglyceride
energy_flow SAY covalent bonds. Bring MOLYMOD glucose. Plants also respiration TRICK question: Plants/Sun cannot create energy.
chloroplast Phyll=leaf, chloro=green.

pigments BANANA and ORANGE. Carotenoids pass energy to chlorophyll
Chlorophyll(plastid) has Mg+ non-heme iron; heme (porphyrin w iron) in hemoglobin & myoglobin. A photosynthetic sea slug: an animal with chloroplasts
light Bring mm RULER nano BILLIONTH meter. Blu-ray DVD: violet laser=405 nm, red=650 nm. 1cm=30 GHz.
green Bring BLACK cloth; absorbs everything.
Xanthophyll=Carotenoid, Flavonoid(anthocyanin): sunscreen; pink in acid -> reddish-purple -> green
Lycopene is a Carotenoid=red TOMATO, Chard Betalain.
photosynthesis Note PROTON pumps, in etc. H2O released in Calvin ZIPLOC transpiration. Energy transformation overview:
photo Calvin in stroma. Revu calls antenna assembly.
synthesis SAY stroma
respiration Skip cellular_respiration.html, but note glycolysis, OXYGEN needed in mitochondria, plus ATP, NADH
cellular_respiration ERROR glycolysis pic leaves out 1 NADH also 1 ATP/glucose; 1 NADH/acetyl-coA
acetyl-coA needs oxygen: inhibit by arsenic
2 turns citric acid=2 ATP. Oxygen -> water is REVERSE of photosynthesis.
Cyanide: cytochrome c oxidase. O2 reduced (gain E) to H2O or superoxide radical.
3 PROTON PUMPS; see video. How do you STOP Dengue cycle? Play Dengue first, then Proton PUMP inhibitor!
Dengue Flavivirus: translate RNA-dependent RNA polymerase Proton pump inhibitors: active transport using ATP How Cyanide Disrupts ATP Synthesis Dengue virus: proton pump lowers pH (University of Massachusetts Medical School) Dengue virus enters cell by endocytosis (HHMI)
fermentation Biofuel from tofu waste by fermentation The world's first commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant Yeast acetaldehyde electron acceptor. Cellulosic husk, stalk, straw; Arundo donax=Giant Cane poor soil, no fertilizer, drought resistant.
High fructose corn syrup; Any engine can run 10% ethanol, E-85 needs flex fuel engines.
Alcohol:

LacticAcid (Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Yogurt):
