Biology Study Cards
Bionenergetics Study Cards
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cellular Respiration | Occurs on the Mitochondria |
| Photosynthesis | Occurs in the Chloroplast |
| Aerobic Respiration | Requires oxygen; produces 36-38 units of ATP |
| Anaerobic Respiration | Does not require oxygen; produces 2 units of ATP |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | Occurs within muscle cells when oxygen is limited. Causes muscle soreness. Lactic Acid is product |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | Occurs within yeast cells without oxygen. Ethanol and CO2 |
| Catabolic Reactions | Reaction that releases energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds |
| Anabolic Reactions | Reaction that consumes energy to build complex molecules from simpler ones |
| Stomata | Site of gas exchange under leaf |
| Xylem | Transports water from roots to leaves for photosynthesis |
| Phloem | Transports sugar from leaves to roots |
| Metabolism | Chemical reactions that take place in all living things |
| Bioenergetics | The study of how organisms manage their energy sources |
| ATP - ADP Cycle | ATP loses phosphate, creating ADP. Then, the ADP gains phosphate, turning back into ATP. The cycle continues. |
