Document Summary

Metabolism: the sum of all chemical reactions occurring in every cell. The formation and breakage of the bonds in molecules. Make bods= input of energy: exergonic reaction- energy releasing. Reactants have more free energy than the products. Cellular respiration: energy can be lost as heat, captured and used for other purposes, endergonic reaction- requires an input of energy. These reactions are usually coupled with each other. Light as a source of information: photoreceptors. A basic light-sensing system, found in almost universally all organisms: rodopsin. A highly conserved photoreceptor (it is the same in all organisms) Consists of a pigment molecule (retinal) bound to a membrane protein (opsin) A green alga: uses light as a source of energy and for information eyespot: light sensor. Photomorphogenesis: plant development in the light: phytochrome: is a photoreceptor in plants. When it senses light, it triggers photomorphogenesis.
