photosynthesis and cell respiration

        Help!  

Question
Answer
photosynthesis   the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy  
🗑
autotrophs   organisms that use energy from sunlight or inorganic substances to make organic compounds  
🗑
heterotrophs   organisms that get energy by consuming food  
🗑
cellular respiration   the process by which cells harvest energy from food  
🗑
pigment   a substance that absorbs light  
🗑
chlorophyll   the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis (chlorophyll a and b)  
🗑
carotenoids   absorb wavelengths of light different from those absorbed by chlorophyll  
🗑
electron transport chain   the series of molecules down which excited electrons are passed in a thylakoid membrane  
🗑
carbon dioxide fixation   the transfer of carbon dioxide to organic compounds  
🗑
calvin cycle   a series of enzyme-assisted chemical reactions that produces a three-carbon sugar molecule  
🗑
aerobic   a process that requires oxygen  
🗑
anaerobic   a process that doesn't require oxygen  
🗑
glycolysis   the process by which glucose is broken down to pyruvate  
🗑
krebs cycle   a series of enzyme-assisted chemical reactions following glycolysis that produces carbon dioxide  
🗑
fermentation   the recycling of NAD+ under anaerobic conditions  
🗑
thylakoids   disk-shaped structures inside chloroplasts  
🗑
cuticle   the part of the leaf that keeps water in  
🗑
upper epidermis   the protective outer layer of the leaf  
🗑
palisade mesophyll   the part of the leaf where most of the photosynthesis takes place  
🗑
vein   transports nutrients throughout the leaf  
🗑
air space   holds water and oxygen in the leaf  
🗑
guard cell   opens and closes the stomate in the leaf  
🗑
stomate   a hole that lets certain things enter and exit the leaf  
🗑
ATP   energy that powers all cells reactions  
🗑
ADP + P   ATP  
🗑
energy flow   the predator gets 10% of it's preys energy  
🗑
photosynthesis equation   6CO2 + 6H2O in the presence of light and chlorophyll C6H12O6 + 6O2  
🗑
photoautotrophs   plants, algae, and some bacteria  
🗑
visible light spectrum   Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet  
🗑
chlorophyll gets it's color by...   reflecting green light and absorbing all over colors  
🗑
chloroplast membrane   lipid bilayer  
🗑
thylakoids   disks of membranes that contain chlorophyll  
🗑
grana   stacks of thylakoids  
🗑
stroma   fluid inside of the chloroplasts  
🗑
light reactions   need light and take place in the thylakoid  
🗑
calvin cycle or dark reaction   doesn't need light and takes place in the stroma  
🗑
aerobic respiration   yields 38 ATP  
🗑
anaerobic respiration   yields 2 ATP  
🗑
cellular respiration equation   C6H12O6 + 6O2 in the presence of enzymes 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP  
🗑
chemoautotrophs   use chemical energy from inorganic substances to make food  
🗑
final electron acceptor in respirations electron transport chain   oxygen  
🗑
final electron acceptor in photosynthesis' electron transport chain   NADP  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
