biology macromolecules

endergonic reaction

absorbs energy

exergonic reaction

releases energy

ATP

all living things make energy in the form of ATP, energy is formed when it breaks down

what is ATP derived from breaking down

sugar glucose

glucose

main product of plant photosynthesis

photosynthesis converts

light energy into chemical energy

chlorophyll

pigment found in plants that is good at absorbing light

chroloplast

builds glucose and oxygen, stores light energy and chemical energy in the glucose

where photosynthesis takes place

stomata

where carbon dioxixe enters the plant, openings in the leaves

waste oxygen also exits through stomata

roots

water is observed through roots

thylakoids

membranes that chloroplasts hold, the membrane contains chlorophyll which absorbs light for photosynthesis

grana

stacks of thylakoids

stroma

liquid filled space surrounding the stroma

photosynthesis reaction

carbon dioxide + water + light energy = glucoce + oxygen

endergonic reaction

cellular respiration

process by which food molecules are broken down to release energy

where does cellular respiration occur

mitochondria

aerobic

requires oxygen

anaerobic

without oxygen

cellular respiration equation

glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + ATP

exergonic

glycosis

process by which sugar is broken down in respiration

anaerobic

were does glycolysis occur

cytoplasm

types of anaerobic respiration

lactic acid fermentation

alcoholic fermentation

lactic acid fermentation

form of cell respiration that produces lactic acid when oxygen is lacking

monosaccharides

monomers
