IB Biology - Respiration & Photosynthesis (Theme C1.2 & C1.3)

carbon dioxide & water

reactants of photosynthesis

light

catalyst for photosynthesis

glucose & oxygen

products of photosynthesis

chloroplast

organelle where photosynthesis takes place

chlorophyll

photosynthetic pigment found in plants, algae, and some protists; reflects green light

anthocyanin

a blue, violet, or red flavonoid pigment found in plants.

xanthophyll

photosynthetic pigment found in plants that reflects yellow to orange light wavelengths; type of carotenoid

temperature

limiting factor of photosynthesis that makes parabolic shape when graphed; has an optimal range

granum

what a stack of thylakoids is called

anaerobic respiration

cellular respiration that does not require oxygen

glycolysis

the process that breaks down glucose, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.

lactic acid

byproduct of anaerobic respiration in animals and bacteria

ethanol & carbon dioxide

byproduct of anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast

cytosol

location of glycolysis (and anaerobic respiration)

mitochondrion

location of aerobic cellular respiration

adenosine triphosphate

molecule used by cells to store and release energy

adenine

nitrogenous base found in an ATP molecule

ribose

pentose sugar found in an ATP molecule

three

number of phosphate groups in an ATP molecule

six

number of oxygens produced during one photosynthesis reaction

one

number of glucose molecules produced during one photosynthesis reaction

Rf

unit of measurement used in chromatography

carbon dioxide & water & ATP

products of (aerobic) cellular respiration

adenosine diphosphate (ADP)

large molecule that ATP breaks down into (releasing energy) due to hydrolysis

hydrolysis

type of reaction that converts ATP to ADP

light intensity & carbon dioxide concentration

limiting factors of photosynthesis that reach a maximum capacity "plateau" when graphed
