Cellular Respiration

QuestionAnswer
(ADP) adenosine diphosphate molecule formed from the breaking off of a phosphate group for ATP; results in a release of energy that is used for biological reactions
(ATP) adenosine triphosphate energy
aerobic chemical reactions that require the presence of oxygen
alcoholic fermentation anaerobic process in which cells convert pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol; carried out by many bacteria and fungi such as yeasts
anaerobic chemical reactions that do not require the presence of oxygen
Calvin cycle series of reactions during the light
cellular respiration chemical process where miochondria break down food molecules to produce ATP; the three stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain
chlorophyll light
citric acid cycle in cellular respiration, series of chemical reactions that break down glucose and produce ATP; energizes electron carriers that pass the energized electrons on to the electron transport chain
electron transport chain series of proteins embedded in a membrane along which energized electrons are transported; as electrons are passed from molecule to molecule, energy is released
glycolysis in cellular respiration, series of ananerobic chemical reactions in the cytoplasm that breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid; forms a net profit of two ATP molecules
Krebs cycle second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is brokeninto carbon dixide in a series of energy extracting reactions
lactic acid fermentation series of anaerobic chemical reactions in which pyruvic acid uses NADH to form lactic acid and NAD+, which is then used in glycolysis; supplies energy when oxygen for aerobic respiration is scarce
light dependent reactions
light independent reactions
NADP+ electron carrier molecule; when carrying excited electrons it becomes NADPH
photolysis reaction taking place in the thylakoid membranes of a chloroplast during light
photosynthesis process by which autotrophs, such as algae and plants, trap energy from sunlight with chlorophyll and use this energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars
pigment molecules that absorb specific wavelengths of sunlight

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
