BIO 150 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Cellular Respiration, Glyceraldehyde, Rubisco
Document Summary
Food is catabolized using glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Food is also used in anabolic pathways to. Humans can make ~20 different amino acids by rearranging atoms from intermediates in the citric acid cycle to create an amino diet. However some amino acids our body cant recreate. These amino acids are considered "essential amino acids" and you need to acquire these amino acids through your diet. Feedback inhibition controls cellular respiration and ensures the correct balance of catabolism & anabolism. Self-feeders (they don"t eat anything derived from other living things) Live off of material produced from other organisms. Light energy + 6co + 6h o # c h o + 6o . Cellular respiration in animal and plant cells break down carbohydrates to create energy (atp) Most photosynthesis occurs in the mesophyll later of a leaf. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis and have a unique structure that allows it to take place.
