EXAM III

The C4 pathway fixes Carbon Dioxide in one part of the leaf and pumps it into the bundle sheath cells to reduce the occurrence of Photorespiration.

The Calvin Cycle occurs in the Stroma of the Chloroplast.

Competitive Inhibition occurs when two or more materials vie for access to the active site of an enzyme, and at least one of them is not a reactant, preventing the reaction from occurring.

Anabolism refers to the reactions that build molecules up in the body.

Feedback Inhibition is the process where the final products of a metabolic pathway bind to the Allosteric site of the first enzyme in the pathway, shutting the pathway down.

Photorespiration is a process in plants where oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is released, often occurring when the concentration of carbon dioxide is low.

Bundle sheath cells in C4 plants are where the fixed carbon dioxide is released for the Calvin Cycle, minimizing photorespiration.

C3 photosynthesis occurs in the mesophyll cells, while C4 photosynthesis involves an additional step in bundle sheath cells to reduce photorespiration.

The Stroma is the fluid-filled space in chloroplasts where the Calvin Cycle takes place.

Noncompetitive Inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to an enzyme at a site other than the active site, reducing the enzyme's activity regardless of the substrate concentration.
