Vocab review for Chapter 8
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| photosynthesis | reaction that changes sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into chemical energy in the form of glucose |
| cellular respiration | decomposition of carbohydrates into carbon dioxide and water that releases energy |
| Glycolysis | breakdown of glucose in the cytoplasm in cells, its the first step in cellular respiration |
| Krebs Cycle | second part of Cellular respiration that breaks down the product of glycolysis to release more energy. |
| ATP | high energy molecule that has 3 phosphate molecules attached. Common energy currency of all cells |
| ADP | molecule that contains 2 phosphate groups that is used to make adenosine triphosphate |
| metabolism | all the reactions that occur in an organism |
| thylakoids | flattened sac like membranes arranged in stacks in a chloroplast |
| grana | stacks of thylakoids |
| Calvin cycle | light independent reactions of photosynthesis |
| carbon fixation | first step of Calvin Cycle in which CO2 molecules are combined with a 5 carbon compound to make many 3 carbon molecules |
| Calvin Cycle step 2 | Energy from ATP and NADPH transferred to the 3 carbon molecules made in previous step |
| Calvin Cycle step 3 | 2 of the 3 carbon molecules leave to make glucose |
| Calvin Cycle step 4 | Rubisco converts the remaining 3 carbon molecules to make 5 carbon molecules to start cycle again |
| C4 plants | plants that use an alternative pathway to photosynthesis , keep their pores (stomata) closed on hot days, occurs in corn and sugar cane |
| CAM plants | process that occurs in water conserving plants such as cacti, pineapple and orchids, CO2 enters only at night where it is fixed into organic compounds to be released during the day |
| electron transport chain | process in which high energy electrons and H+ ions are used to convert ADP to ATP, occurs in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and the inner membrane of the mitochondria |
| Fermentation | anaerobic respiration that follows glycolysis if O2 is unavailable |
| lactic acid fermentation | Enzymes convert pyruvate from glycolysis into lactic acid |
| Alcohol fermentation | enzymes convert pyruvate from glycolysis into ethyl alcohol |
| Pyruvate | product of glycolysis |
| Acetyl Co-A | pyruvate is changed into this molecule in the mitochondrial matrix so it can enter the Krebs cycle |
