Molecular Biology
8.L.5.1 & 8.L.5.2
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Aerobic respiration | the process of making cell energy involving oxygen |
| Anaerobic respiration | the process of making cell energy without oxygen |
| ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) | is the molecule that carries energy to the place where the energy is needed in the body. |
| BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) | the amount of energy required to maintain minimum essential life functions |
| C6H12O6 | glucose |
| Carbohydrate | an energy |
| Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight YIELDS (will make) Glucose + Oxygen | Photosynthesis Word Equation |
| Glucose + Oxygen YIELDS (will make) Carbon Dioxide + Water | cell respiration word equation |
| Cellular Respiration | the chemical reaction in your cells that breaks down simple food molecules releasing energy in the body |
| Chlorophyll | a green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria to carry out photosynthesis |
| Chloroplasts | organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis |
| CO2 | carbon dioxide |
| Digestion | the process that breaks down complex molecules of food into smaller molecules so the body can use them. |
| During cell respiration, energy is | released in the form of ATP for the body to use |
| During fermentation, | cells release energy from food without using oxygen in the cytoplasm |
| During photosynthesis, energy is | absorbed by chloroplasts to start photosynthesis |
| Fermentation | process by which cells release energy without oxygen |
| Fermentation occurs in the... | cytoplasm of a cell |
| Glucose | the "food" for your cells; a simple sugar used in the chemical reaction of cell respiration |
| H20 | water |
| Lipid | the nutrient that is an energy-rich organic compound, (fat, oil, or wax) |
| Metabolism | the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. |
| Mitochondria | the powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of most ATP (energy) production |
| Photosynthesis | the process by which plants and some other organisms capture the energy in sunlight and use it to make food. |
| Products of Cell Respiration | carbon dioxide, water, energy (ATP)/heat |
| Products of Photosynthesis | glucose and oxygen gas |
| Protein | the nutrient required for the structure, function, repair, and regulation of the body's cells, tissues, and organs. |
| Reactants of Cell Respiration | glucose and oxygen |
| Reactants of Photosynthesis | carbon dioxide & water in the presence of sunlight |
| The MAIN organelle where cellular respiration take place | mitochondria |
| Product | the materials that are made in a chemical reaction |
| Reactants | the starting materials used in the chemical reaction |
