Competitive Inhibition-occurs when an inhibiting molecule (poison) moves into the active site and blocks the substrate from entering

Adenosine triphosphate(ATP) is the main energy currency of the cell
-Each ATP molecue is composed of 3 parts
1. Adenine Triphosphate
2. Adenine disphate
3. Adenine mono-phosphate

Many reactions involve the passage of electrons from one atom/molecule to another
-Oxidation-is the loss of electrons and looses energy
-Reduction- is the gain of electrons and gains energy

Oxidation reduction reactions always take place together

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Photosynthesis- process that captures and converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose (carbohydrate)

It occurs in the:
-plasma membranes and some bacteria
-cells of algea
-leaves of plants

6CO2+12H2O--------light------>C6H1206+6H2O+6O2

Cuticle-clear waxy non-cellular layer-waterproofs
Epidermis-secretes cuticle
Palisade Mesophyll-Where most photosyntesis takes place
Spongy Mesophyll-Some Photosynthesis--gaps allow diffusion of CO2 in and O2
Vascular Bundle-Converts water up and sugar water down

CHLOROPLASTS
-double membrane system
-Granium=stack
-Grana=stacks
-Thylakoid= disk on stack-where light absorption happens
-Space between stacks=groma
