 EditDelete
ads and disads of cellular respiration
-more efficient
-requires oxygen
 EditDelete
ads and disads of fermentation
-provides NAD+ for glycolysis
-produces ATP only 20 or 30 seconds, lactic acid causes painfull side effects
 EditDelete
advantages and disadvantages of glycolysis
-can produce thousands of ATP molecules in milliseconds
-provide only 2 ATP at a time
 EditDelete
aerobic
when fermentation does require oxygen
 EditDelete
anabolic reactions
chemical reactions in which large molecules are synthesized from smaller molecules
endergonic
 EditDelete
anerobic
when fermentation doesn't require oxygen
 EditDelete
another name for the krebs cycle
the citric acid cycle
 EditDelete
ATP molecule production
2=glycosis
2=Krebs cycle
32=Electron transport chain
 EditDelete
autotrophs
organisms that obtain energy from light or inorganic compounds
 EditDelete
Calorie
amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram water 1 degree celcius
 EditDelete
calvin cycle
the light independent reactions
 EditDelete
carotenoids
red and yellow pigments in plants
absorb a small amount of light energy that is passed onto the chlorophyll
 EditDelete
carrier molecule
a compound that can accept a pair of high energy electrons and transfer them along with most of their energy to another molecule
 EditDelete
catabolic reactions
chemical reactions in which large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules and energy is released
exergonic
 EditDelete
Cellular Respiration
the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules
 EditDelete
chloroplast structure
thylakoids, granum, stroma
 EditDelete
coenzymes
assist an enzyme, sometimes these are vitamins
 EditDelete
During glycosis, one molecule of
glucose is broken in half
 EditDelete
electron transport chain
uses the high engery electrons from the Kreb's cycle to convert ADP into ATP
 EditDelete
equation for photosynthesis
6CO2+6H2O-->C6H1206+6O2
carbon dioxide and water=sugars and oxygen
 EditDelete
fermentation
releases energy from food by producing ATP in the absense of oxygen
 EditDelete
food chain
a seris of steps in which organisms trasfer energy by eating and being eaten
 EditDelete
glycosis
the process in which one molecule of glucose is broken in half, producing 2 molecules of pyruvic acid, a three carbon compound
 EditDelete
Glycosis produes a net gain of
2 atps
 EditDelete
granum
stack of thylakoids
 EditDelete
how are photosystem I and II different?
II aborobs light and I trasfers electron enrgy.
 EditDelete
how does ATP synthesis produce ATP?
it rotates as H+ ions pass through it and binds ADP and a phosphate group together creating ATP.
 EditDelete
How does fermentation allow the production of ATp to continue?
NADH convert to NAD+, which allows glycosis to continue to produce ATP.
 EditDelete
how does light effect a chlorophyll molecule
excites the electrons
 EditDelete
How is pyrucvic acid used in the Krebs Cycle?
it is broken down into carbon dioxide in a seris of energy-extracting reacitons.
 EditDelete
how much energy is available from level to level in a food chain?
10%
 EditDelete
Ingenhouz
plants need sunlight to produce oxygen
he observed plants exposed to light
 EditDelete
Krebs Cycle
pyruvic acid is broken into carbon dioxide ina series of energy extracting reactions
 EditDelete
light energy is
absorbed by a pigment
reflected by a pigment
trasmitted through a pigment
 EditDelete
Light independent reactions take place in the
stroma
 EditDelete
main pigment in plants
chlorophyll
 EditDelete
metabolism
chemical reactions through which an organism builds or breaks down materials
complete set of chemical reations in cells that are the basis of life in cells
 EditDelete
NAD+
electron carrier called nicotinamide adenine dinudeotide
 EditDelete
Priestly
using a candle and a jar, he observed that plants produce a substance that keep the candle burning
 EditDelete
products of alchol fermentation
alcohol, CO2, and NAD+
 EditDelete
reactants and products of fermentation
pyruvic acid=NAD+, alcohol, CO2 and lactic acid
 EditDelete
reactants and products of glycosis
glucose, ATP=2 molecules of ATP
 EditDelete
Reactants/products in cellular respiration
oxygen+glucose=carbon dioxide+water+energy
 EditDelete
stroma
region outside the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplasts

thylakoid
the light dependent reactions take place for

he measured the mass of soil in which a plant grew
 EditDelete
What affects the rate at which photosynthesis occurs?
amount of water

 EditDelete
what are two ways in which cells use energy provided by ATP?
to carry out active transport and important cell division
 EditDelete
what do autotrophs do with their energy?
fuel the assembly of simple inorganic compounds to complex inorganic compounds
 EditDelete
What does the Calvin cycle use to produce high energy sugars?
it uses ATP and NADHP from light dependent to produce high energy sugars.
