Cellular energy
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Autotroph | organism that makes its own food |
| heterotroph | organisms that depend on others for food |
| Cellular Respiration | process by which your cells transfer the energy in glucose to ATP |
| Photosynthesis | process by which plants take light energy and convert it into chemical energy |
| Protein | one of the most important molecular structures found in living organisms |
| Transcription | process of making mRNA from DNA; takes place in the nucleus |
| Translation | process where tRNA will bring amino acids until a "stop" codon and then the specific protein will be complete |
| how many different kinds of nucleotide bases are in DNA? | 4 |
| how many nucleotide bases make up a codon? | 3 |
| how many amino acids are attached to each tRNA? | 1 |
| 3 primary environmental factors necessary for photosynthesis | light, H20 and CO2 |
| What type of anaerobic cellular respiration will occur in human cells if you exhaust the O2 supply causing muscle burn? | Lactic acid fermentation |
| What type of anaerobic cellular respiration will occur in yeasts and bacteria yielding the byproduct of CO2 and alcohol? | Alcoholic fermentation |
| the temporary energy storage molecules are | NADH and FADH2 |
| 1st step of Aerobic cell. resp. | Glycolosis |
| 2nd step of Aerobic cell. resp. | Citric Acid/Kreb's |
| 3rd step of Aerobic cell. resp. | Hydrogen/electron system |
| step that takes place in cytoplasm | glycolosis |
| step(s) that are in the mitochondria | Citric Acid and hydrogen electron |
| which step doesn't require O2? | glycolosis |
| A protein is simply a long chain of __________ linked together by bonds | amino acids |
| a green pigment that is the primary catalyst for photosynthesis | chlorophyll |
| requires light E, electrons in chlorophyll a are "excited" by the light absorbed in the pigments, some of this E is used to for ATP and some is stored for later use | Light Dependent Phase |
| depends on the products of the light dependent phase and E to produce the precursor for the glucose | Light Independent Phase |
