Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| adenosine triphosphate (ATP) | one of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store and release energy |
| aerobic | process that requires energy |
| anaerobic | process that does not require oxygen |
| ATP synthase | large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP |
| autotrophs | organisms such as plants that make their own food |
| calorie | amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius |
| Calvin Cycle | reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADP is used t build high |
| cellular respiration | process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen |
| chlorophyll | the plants' principal pigment |
| electron transport chain | a series of proteins in which the high |
| fermentation | process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen |
| glycolysis | first step in releasing the energy of glucose, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid |
| heterotrophs | organisms that cannot use the sun's energy directly |
| Jan Ingenhousz | He found that aquatic plants produce oxygen bubbles in the light but not in the dark. He concludes that plants need sunlight to produce oxygen |
| Jan van Helmont | The Belgian physician who devised an experiment to find out if plants grew by taking material out of the soil. He concluded that trees gain most of their mass from water. |
| Joseph Priestley | The English minister who performed an experiment that would give another insight into the process of photosynthesis. He found that the plant releases oxygen |
| Julius Robert Mayer | He proposed that plants convert light energy into chemical energy. |
| Krebs cycle | second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acids is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy |
| light | dependent reactions |
| Melvin Calvin | American scientist who worked out the details of the Calvin cycle |
| NAD+ | electron carrier involved in glycolysis |
| NADP+ | one of the carrier molecules that transfers high |
| photosynthesis | a process in which plants use the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into high |
| photosystems | light collecting units of the chloroplast |
| pigments | light absorbing molecules that plants use to gather the sun's energy |
| stroma | region outside the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts |
| thylakoids | saclike photosynthetic membranes |
