chapter 4 vocabulary

TermDefinition
ATP molecule that transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell processes
ADP a lower-energy molecule that can be converted ATP by the addition of a phosphate group
chemosynthesis process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of light energy to make energy storing carbon-based molecules.
photosynthesis captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy
chlorophyll a molecule in chloroplasts that absorbs some of the energy in visible light
thylakoid membrane-bound structure within chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll and other light-absorbing pigments used in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis
light-dependent reaction part of photosynthesis that absorbs energy from sunlight and transfers energy to the light-independent reactions
light-independent reaction part of photosynthesis that uses energy absorbed during the light-dependent reactions to synthesis carbohydrates
photosystem energy is captured and transferred in the thylakoid membranes by two groups of molecules
electron transport system series of proteins in the membrane of the thylakoid
ATP synthase part of a complex enzyme
calvin cycle process by which a photosynthetic organism uses energy to synthesize simple sugars from CO2
cellular respiration releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present
aerobic needs oxygen to take place
glycolysis splits glucose into two three-carbon molecules and makes two molecules of ATP
anaerobic doesn't need oxygen to take place
krebs cycle produces molecules that carry energy to the 2nd part of cellular respiration
fermentation doesn't make ATP, allows glycolysis to continue
lactic acid causes your molecules to "burn" during hard exercise

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.
