photosynthesis+cellular respiration
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Calvin cycle | light independent |
| light dependent | takes place in thylakoid membrane and grana, energy absorbed by chlorophyll |
| light independent | glucose is produced |
| chloroplast | photosynthesis |
| chlorophyll | green pigment |
| thylakoid | each of a number of flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks or grana |
| grana | the stacks of thylakoids embedded in the stroma of a chloroplast |
| stroma | the supportive tissue of an epithelial organ, tumor, gonad, etc., consisting of connective tissues and blood vessels |
| citric acid cycle | another term for Krebs cycle |
| Krebs cycle | another term for aerobic respiration |
| mitochondria | photosynthesis |
| cytoplasm | fluid that lets organelles communicate with each other |
| pyruvic acid | a yellowish organic acid that occurs as an intermediate in many metabolic processes, especially glycolysis |
| ETC | electron transport chain |
| aeriobic | the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of Oxygen |
| anaerobic | using electron acceptors other than oxygen |
| fermentation | that converts sugar to acids, gases, and/or alcohol |
| alcohol fermentation | which elements such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and thereby produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste products |
| lactic acid fermentation | our muscle cells deal with pyruvate during anaerobic respiration |
