Ch.8 Cellular Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| energy | ability to do work |
| thermodynamics | study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe |
| metabolism | all the chemical reactions in a cell |
| photosynthesis | anabolic pathway in which light energy is converted to chemical energy; process that occurs in plants |
| cellular respiration | catabolic pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell; occurs in both plants and animals |
| adenine triphosphate (ATP) | biological molecule that provides energy |
| thylakoids | flattened saclike membranes that are arranged in stacks in the chloroplast |
| grana | stacks of thylakoids |
| stroma | fluid filled space surrounding the grana in the chloroplast |
| pigment | light-absorbing molecules |
| NADP+ | electron carrier in photosynthesis |
| Calvin cycle | phase of photosynthesis in which energy is stored in organic molecules such as glucose |
| anaerobic process | process that does not require oxygen |
| aerobic respiration | includes the Krebs cycle and electron transport system in cellular respiration; produces ATP for the cell |
| aerobic processes | process thaat requires oxygen |
| glycolysis | First step in cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvate |
| Krebs cycle | series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide |
| fermentation | occurs in the absence of oxygen; anaerobic respiration |
