Unit 2.3

Biology

QuestionAnswer
Photosynthesis Captures suns energy and transforms it into chemical energy
Photosynthesis equation Solar to Chemical 6CO2 +6H2O to C6H12O6 (reactants) (products)
Stomata Small opening in a leaf that allows CO2, O2, and H2O vapor in and out
Chlorophyll Pigment that absorbs solar E
Thylakoid disc-like structure in chloroplasts where light reactions occur stacked and increased surface
autotroph any organism that can make its own food with sunlight
Cuticle waxy(lipid) layer that prevents excess water loss
Palisades high collection + chloroplasts -lots of photosynthesis
Guard cells regulates opening/closing of stoma
Grana Set of thylakoids
Stroma Space-site of Calvin cycle
Structure of Chloroplast (aka plastid) Double membrane structure and contains chlorophyll + accessory pigment
Glucose (sugar) Stored as starch or used in mitochondria to make ATP
Light Reactions needs sunlight/H2O and water is split into H+ and O2 (photolysis), H+ ions develop a concin gradient that powers ATP production, and occurs in thylakoid
Light independent reactions (aka Calvin Cycle) needs products of light reactions(ATP) and CO2, fix C from CO2 molecules of glucose, and occurs in stoma
C4 plants use alternative enzyme called PEP to transfer/store CO2 in leaf tissue and move to Calvin cycle when needed EX. corn, sugar, etc
CAM plants Takes in CO2 at night, convertsit to organic acids and releases it to the Calvin cycle during the day
Cellular Respiration To release energy stored in food(glucose) and store it in molecules of ATP, which can then be used by cells
Cellular Respiration equation chemical to chemical 6O2+C6H12O6 to 6CO2+6H2O+ATP
Heterotroph organism that must obtain/consume other organisms for energy
Aerobic Respiration with oxygen and produces the most ATP
Anaerobic Respiration without oxygen(fermentation), lactic acid(animal cells), alcohol(yeast/bacteria), little bit of ATP
ATP cellular energy molecule
Glycolysis Step 1 of respiration, oldest metabolic pathway, and no O2 needed/process that breaks down glucose into pyruvate
Phosphate high e bond
Adenosine Tri Phosphate(ATP) nucleic acid, energy currency of cells, breaking of 3rd phosphate, release e to power cellular work
Is ATP regenerated? yes
Why does the high energy phosphate break off and ATP turns into ADP? The third phosphate releases the high energy bond to power cellular work
The mitochondria contains DNA separate from nucleus, numerous cells with high E demands, and absent in RBC's
Aerobic Respiration step 1 Glycolysis- cytoplasm is site, oxygen not needed, 2 ATP, breaks glucose down into pyruvate and turns into acety CoA and goes to the mitochondria
Aerobic Respiration step 2 Krebs cycle- mitochondria in matrix, 2 ATP, acety CoA to CO2, NADH, FADH2, and last two grab and store electrons
Aerobic Respiration step 3 ETC- in mitochondria in inner membrane(folds), 32-34 ATP, and H2O, NADH and FADH2 goes to and through protein carriers and as they go they give it energy by dropping electrons, at the end they join with an oxygen and combine with a hydrogen
Anaerobic Respiration step 1 Glycolysis- pyruvate takes different paths depending on organisms
Lactic Acid (a type of pathway) 1. bacteria(yogurt) 2. muscle cells Some ATP, a lot of lactic acid, some CO2
Alcoholic fermentation (a type of pathway) 1. yeast-ferment sugar and produce CO2 + ethanol -beer+wine and bread
Factors that affect photosynthesis carbon dioxide, light, and temperature
Cellular Respiration takes place mitochondria
Photosynthesis takes place chloroplast
Factors that affect cell respiration glucose and oxygen
Green light Reflected by light but not used in photosynthesis
Chlorophyll Pigment that absorbs light energy in photosynthesis
What is released by consumers as a waste product to cell respiration? carbon dioxide
Fermentation Process where cells release energy in absence of oxygen
What are the three parts of a nucleotide? nitrogen base-adenine, five carbon sugar-ribose, and three phosphate groups
ADP low energy because there's one less phosphate because we broke the third one for energy

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.
