Biology chapter 8
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the ability to do work | energy |
| the study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe | Thermodynamics |
| all of the chemical reactions in a cell | metabolism |
| the anabolic pathway in which light energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy for use by the cell | photosynthesis |
| catabolic pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell | cellular respiration |
| the most important biological molecule that provides chemical energy | ATP |
| flattened saclike membrane that is arranged in stacks | thylakoid |
| one of the stacks of pigment-containing thylakoids in a plant's chloroplasts. | granum |
| the fluid-filled space that is outside the granum | stroma |
| light-absorbing colored molecules that are found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts | pigments |
| in photosynthesis, the major electron carrier involved in electron transport | NADP+ |
| energy is stored in organic molecules such as glucose | Calvin cycle |
| converts the remaining 10 G3P molecules into 5-carbon molecules called ribulose 1, 5- bisphosphates | rubisco |
| metabolic process that does not require energy | anaerobic process |
| metabolic process in which pyruvative is broken down and electron-carrier molecules are used to produce ATP through electron transport | aerobic respiration |
| a metabolic process that requires oxygen | aerobic |
| anaerobic process; first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate | glycolysis |
| the series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide | Krebs cycle |
| process in which NAD+ is regenerated, allowing cells to maintain glycolysis in the absence of oxygen | fermentation |
