Photosynthesis vocab
Phytosysthesis and energy
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Metabolism | All the Chemical reaction in a cell |
| Anabolic | Type of chemical reaction that uses energy to bulid large molecules |
| Catabolic | Break things down |
| Light reaction | The first step in Photosysisthes water goes in and oygen comes out |
| Chlorophyll | a green pigment found in plants |
| Ttylakoid membrane | where light reaction takes place. |
| Stroma | Where the calvin cycle takes place |
| Nadph | An energy carrier.Electron Carrier in photosynthesis |
| Chemiosmosis | The use of proton to make ATP. |
| Calvin cycle | The seond stage of photosyntheise corbon dioxe goes in and golcuose is produce |
| Chloroplast | organelle found in plants |
| Chemical equation | Co2+H2O_____sunlight_____>O2+C6H12O6 |
| Atp | The most abudant energy carrie the energy that provide energy to the cell |
| Thermodynamic | Study of flow and transfomation of energy |
| 1st law of Thermodynamics | Anergy cannat be creted or destroyed only converted from one to another. |
| 2nd law of Thermodynamic | energy cannot be converted without the loss of usable energy |
| Chemoautotroph | Instead of using energy from the sun, these organisms use inorganic molecules such as hydrogen sulfide, iron, or ammonia as an energy source |
| Energy | The ablity to do work |
| CO2 | The reactant that goes in the calvin cycle |
| producers | make their own food |
| RuBP | is a 5-carbon sugar that is used in the Dark reactions (Calvin cycle) to fix carbon from CO2 (carbon dioxide). |
| electron transport system | process used in photosynthesis that produces energy (ATP) through light reaction |
| carbon fixation | carbon dixoide attaches to RuBP and becomes a 6C carbon that breaks down into 2 PGA |
| ATP synthase | provides energy for the cell to use through the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate |
| glucose | the proudut of the calvin cycle |
| granum | A stacked membranous structure within a chloroplast that contains the chlorophyll and is the site of the light reactions |
| Consumer | They dont make their own food |
| Phytosisthyeses | Anabolic pathway in which light energy is converted to chemilcal energy |
