This comprehensive overview explores the intricate processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis, emphasizing their roles in energy production within cells. It delves into protein structures, including primary, secondary (alpha helices and beta sheets), and quaternary formations, highlighting the significance of conjugated, globular, and fibrous proteins. The overview also covers enzymes as biological catalysts, competitive inhibitors like Prontosil, and the detailed steps of glycolysis alongside oxidation and reduction reactions in energy conversion. Understanding these concepts is essential for grasping how cells function and sustain life.

C.1.1: Secondary Structures Alpha Helix Beta Pleated Sheet
Prontosil is a competitive inhibitor that is used as an antibiotic because it inhibits folic acid synthesis in bacteria. Nerve gases like Sarin function by inactivating the enzyme ethanoyl (acetyl) cholinesterase.
C.3.1, 8.1.1:Oxidation/Reduction STATE: oxidation involves the gain of oxygen reduction involves the loss of oxygen
C.3.1, 8.1.1: Oxidation/Reduction STATE: oxidation involves loss of electrons reduction involves gain of electrons
C.3.1, 8.1.1:Oxidation/Reduction STATE: oxidation involves loosing hydrogen reduction involves gaining hydrogen
C.3.1, OiLRiG ???????( OiLRiG only applies to electrons and hydrogen)
(Aerobic)Cellular Respiration Formula GLUCOSE + OXYGEN CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER + ATP C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O
C.3.2, 8.1.2: Outline the process of glycolysis, including phosphorylation, lysis, oxidation and ATP formation
NAD: Electron CarrierNAD+ = oxidised form NADH + H + = reduced form NAD+ + 2H → NADH + H+
2 2 Oxidation of triose phosphate Reduction of NAD + to NADH + H + 2 2 Pyruvate Pyruvate
From one glucose molecule in glycolysis: 2 x ATP (net) 2 X (NADH + H+) 2 X pyruvate
IB Question: Outline the process of glycolysis. [5] occurs in cytoplasm; hexose is phosphorylated using ATP; hexose phosphate is split into two triose phosphates; oxidation by removal of hydrogen; (do not accept hydrogen ions/protons) conversion of NAD to NADH (+H+); net gain of two ATP / two ATP used and four ATP produced; pyruvate produced at the end of glycolysis; [5 max] Accept glucose/fructose/6C sugar instead of hexose. Accept 3C sugar/glyceraldehyde instead of triose.
NAD: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, abbreviated NAD A co-enzyme is a non-proteinchemical compound that is loosely bound to a protein and is required for the protein's biological activity.
C.3.3, 8.1.3: Draw and label a diagram showing the structure of a mitochondria as seen in electron micrographs
