Studied by 10 peoplePigment
Used by plants to gather the sun’s energy with light-absorbing molecules.
Energy
the ability to do work.
FADH2
Electron carriers in cellular respiration.
Anaerobic respiration
reactions that do not require oxygen.
NADH
Electron Carriers in cellular respiration.
Aerobic respiration
reactions that require oxygen.
Work
the ability to use energy to survive
Photosynthesis
the process in which autotrophs use the energy of sunlight to produce high-energy carbohydrates (sugars/starches) that can be used as food; to make with light
Photo
light
Synthesis
to make
Cellular respiration
a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
important cell compounds that cells use to store/release energy
Adenosine diphosphate
the precursor to ATP; needed to make ATP
Thylakoid
membranes of the chloroplast
Glycolysis
the process that breaks down glucose in the cytoplasm
Fermentation
the process in which the cell releases energy from food without the pressure of oxygen
Glykys
sweet
Lysis
to rupture
Autotrophs
Organisms that make their own food
Heterotrophs
Organisms that obtain food by consuming other living things
Chlorophyll
The plants principal pigment
NADPH
Molecules that carry high-energy electrons to chemical reactions in other parts of the cell
Auto
Self
Heter
Others
Troph
To feed
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Inside organelles called Chloroplasts
How does color work?
It reflects light wave length
What are the stages of photosynthesis?
Light independent reactions and light independent reactions
Equation of Photosynthesis
6 CO2 + 6 H2O = C6H12O6+ 6 O2
Difference between light-independant and light-dependant reaction?
Light dependant reactions require light
What are the stages of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis (Cytoplasm) → Krebs Cycle (Mitochondria) → Electron Transport cycle (Mitochondria)
Where do we get glucose?
Cellular Respiration: Food; Photosynthesis: creates it
What are the products produced after glycolysis?
4 ATP molecules, 2 pyruvic Acids
How many ATP molecules are needed to start the glycolysis process?
2 molecules
What are the products after the Krebs cycle?
NADH and FADH2
How many molecules of ATP does the breaking down of Glucose produce?
30-38 molcules
Light-dependent reactions
Uses energy from sunlight to produce adenosine triphosphate molecules; takes place in the Thylakoid membranes
Light-independent reactions
ATP and NADPH molecules produced in the light-dependent reactions are used to produce high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide
What makes up ATP?
5 carbon sugar group (ribose), and three phosphate groups
