Photo. & Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is catabolic pathways? | those that break down organic molecules for energy. |
| What is anabolic pathways? | Those that build up organic molecules to store energy for later use. |
| What is cellular respiration? | A chemical pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy in a quickly usable form (ATP). |
| What is a aerobic respiration? | Uses molecular oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the reaction pathway. |
| What anaerobic respiration? | Doesn't use oxygen |
| What is fermentation? | Doesn't use oxygen |
| What is the equation for Aerobic respiration? | C6H12O6+6O2-->6CO2+12H2O+ ENERGY(ATP) |
| What is the equation for photosynthesis? | 6CO2+12H2O+ENERGY(LIGHT)--> C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O |
| What are the 4 stages of aerobic respiration? | 1.Glycolysis 2.The formation of acetyl CoA 3.The citric acid cycle 4.Oxidative phosphorylation |
| What does photosynthesis put into the air? | Oxygen |
| What do us humans put in the air? | Carbon dioxide |
| What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)? | One of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store and release energy |
| What is a heterotrophs? | A living thing that gets food by eating other living things |
| what is autotrophs? | A living thing that makes its own food through photosynthesis |
| What is photosynthesis? | the process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into water and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches |
| What is a thylakoid? | A baglike photosynthesis membrane found in chloroplasts |
| What is a stroma? | The liquid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in chloroplasts |
| What is a NADP+? | One of the molecules that accepts high-energy electrons from chlorophyll and carries them to other molecules during photosynthesis. |
| What is a light-dependent reaction? | A reaction of photosynthesis that uses ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide to make high-energy sugars. |
| What is a light-independent reactions? | A reaction of photosynthesis that uses light energy to make ATP and NADPH. |
| What is photosystem? | The light-collecting units of the chloroplast |
| What is a electron transport chain? | A series of proteins in which high-energy electrons are used to change ADP to ATP. |
| What happens in photosystem I? | Electrons are re-energized with more light. |
| What happens in photosystem II? | Light shining on pigments energizes electrons that come from water. |
