cellular respiration
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ADP | adenosine diphosphate |
| energy | ability to do work |
| triphosphate | three phosphate groups |
| diphosphate | two phosphate groups |
| photo- | light, light dependent reactions |
| -synthesis | to build, Calvin cycle |
| Calvin cycle | produces sugar molecules (glucose) |
| Citric acid cycle | in the mitochondria, helps release energy stored in sugar molecules |
| Cellular respiration | the process in which the cell takes in O2 and releases CO2 as a waste product. This process produces ATP |
| aerobic respiration | when O2 (oxygen) is used to produce ATP |
| anaerobic respiration | when no O2 is used to produce ATP |
| lactic acid fermentation | anaerobic respiration which can occur in human muscles, produces 2 ATP molecules |
| alcoholic fermentation | anaerobic respiration which occurs in yeast, bacteria and fungi, produces 2 ATP molecules |
| cellular respiration | aerobic respiration which occurs in human cells, procudes 36 ATP molecules |
| muscle fatigue and cramps | produced when the muscles switch to lactic acid fermentation and lactic acid build up in the muscle tissue |
| the rising of bread | cause of the release of CO2 when yeast undergoes alcoholic fermentation |
| alcohol in beer | produced by yeast when they undergo alcoholic fermentation |
| energy is stored | this occurs when a third phosphate group is added to ADP |
| energy is released | this occurs when a phosphate group is removed from ATP |
| chloroplast | this is where photosynthesis takes place |
| glycolysis | teh breaking apart of glucose |
| electron transport chain | releases H2O and 36 ATP molecules |
| light dependent reactions | release ATP molecules for the Calvin cycle to use and O2 as a waste product |
| Citric acid cycle | release CO2 as a waste product and other molecules for the electron transport chain to use |
| O2 | oxygen gas |
| CO2 | carbon dioxide gas |
| H2O | water |
| mitochondria | cellular respiration takes place here, Citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain |
