Section 7

The
definition of metabolism ; what a metabolic reaction is

The
difference between the First and Second Law of Thermodynamics

How
living systems obtain energy as opposed to what would happen in a single
combustion reaction

Anabolic
and catabolic reactions

The
parts of a basic chemical equation

The
definition of entropy

Oxidation
and reduction, redox reactions

How
chemical reactions are governed and how cells speed up chemical reactions

What
enzymes are and the factors that influence how quickly an enzymatic
reaction can occur

Terms
associated with enzyme activity (active site, allosteric
site, coenzyme, substrate, product, induced fit model)

How
metabolic rates influence lifespan

What
metabolic disorders are

3
Factors that influence how much energy intake a human needs in a day

Section 8

The
Photosynthesis Equation

Phosphorylation
(and photophosphorylation)

Important
energy carriers

The
basic parts of the leaf and what they do (cuticle, epidermis, mesophyll, stoma, guard cells, vascular bundles)

The
structure of chloroplasts (double membrane, thylakoids,
grana, stroma) and
what happens in each of these parts

What
a pigment is; action and absorption spectrums; what wavelengths are most
important for photosynthesis

How
photosynthesis is a redox reaction (what is
oxidized, what is reduced)

Light
Reactions: antenna complex, reaction center, electron transport chain,
difference between PSII and PSI

Where
light reactions take place, how electrons are replaced, what the end
products of the reactions are

Dark
Reactions: 3 steps and a general understanding of what happens in each
stage

Where
dark reactions take place, where the energy comes from, what the end
products of the reactions are

Section 9

The
Cellular Respiration Equation

How
cellular respiration is a redox reaction (what
is oxidized, what is reduced)

Glycolysis:
what it means, where it occurs, the basic steps, the end products

The
differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration
(and the percentage of energy each harvests from 1 glucose molecule)

The
two types of anaerobic respiration and how they differ from each other

Substrate-level
versus oxidative-level phosphorylation

The
stages of Aerobic Respiration: where each stage occurs, the beginning
substrates and end products of each stage (ATP, NADH, Pyruvate,
water, CO2, acetyl CoA, glucose)

What
NAD+, NADPH, and FAD+ are

The
net ATP yield of Glycolysis, Anaerobic Respiration,
and Aerobic Respiration

How
many ATP can be produced by one molecule of NADH and one molecule of FADH2
