Unit 3. You are what you eat-Biology
enzyme
A type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing
autotrophs
Organisms that make their own food
what is ADP
a lower-energy molecule that can be converted into ATP by the addition of a phosphate group
what is c02
carbon dioxide
reactents of photosynthesis
carbon dioxide and water
what is ATP
chemical compound that cells use to store and release energy
where does the green pigment in plants come from
chlorophyll
where do photosynthetic reactions take place
chloroplast
what is o2
diatomic oxygen
Is lactose a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide?
disaccharide
primary function of lactose
energy and development
effects of lascotse intolerance
excessive gas, bloating, and abdominal pain
stroma
fluid that surround the thlyakoid stacks
where is lactase found
found in the microvilli living in the small intestine
the "food" that is created from photosynthesis
glucose
what is c6h12o6
glucose
products of photosynthesis
glucose and diatomic oxygen
what does lactose break down into
glucose and galactose
lactose intolerance
inability to digest lactose
photosynthesis formula (components of photosynthesis)
light (energy) + Co2 + H2o - c6h12o6 + o2
what is needed for light dependent reaction to occur
light energy and water
what type of macronuitrient is lactose
monosaacharides
the lactase in the small intestine works best at what Ph level
pH levels between 6-9
Photosynthesis
process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
why does one become lactose intolerant
stop producing lactase, the enzyme that breaks it down
where does the light independent reaction take place
stroma
what are conditions that affect lactase production
temperature, pH, concentration of the reactants, and concentration of the enzyme
lactase persistence
the ability to continue to make lactase
what splits lactose into glucose and galactose
the enzyme lactase
Where does the light dependent reaction take place
thylakoid
what is h2o
water
