PHOTOSYNTHESIS V.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CELLULAR RESPIRATION VOCAB
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| shows the amount of light at each wave length that is absorbed by a substance | absorption spectrum |
| energy releasing process that uses oxygen to produce ATP in a eukaryotic cell | aerobic respiration |
| a self-feeding organism that obtains its energy from inorganic sources | autotrophs |
| the addition of carbon dioxide to sugar molecules during the light-independent part of photosynthesis | carbon fixation |
| a selectively permeable plasma membrane that separates and regulates substances that pass between, the inside and outside of a cell | cellular respiration |
| the production of organic (food) molecules using inorganic chemicals as an energy source | chemosynthesis |
| the green pigment in photosynthetic plants that traps the energy in sunlight | chlorophyll |
| the organelle in a plant that contains chlorophyll and caries out photosynthesis | chloroplast |
| a complex of molecules that uses energy to create a concentration gradient across the inner membrane of the mitochondria | electron transport chain |
| anaerobic process that converts chemical energy from organic chemicals into usable forms, such as ATP | fermentation |
| anaerobic breakdown of glucose that produces molecules of ATP | glycolysis |
| an organism that obtains its energy from other living things | heterotrophs |
| in cellular respiration, aerobic reactions inside the mitochondria, in which energy is released and stored in molecules of ATP | Krebs cycle |
| organelles in eukaryotic cells in which the Krebs cycle occurs | mitochondria |
| the splitting of water during the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis | photolysis |
| the smallest possible unit of light energy | photons |
| the process that, in the presence of light energy, produces chemical energy (glucose) and water | photosynthesis |
