| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What're catabolic pathways? | Those that break down organic molecules for energy |
| What're anabolic pathways? | Those that build up organic molecules to store energy for later use. |
| Describe cellular respiration | A chemical pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy in a quickly usable form (ATP) |
| Two basic categories of cellular respiration | Aerobic and Anaerobic |
| What is Aerobic respiration? | it uses molecular oxygen; |
| What is Anaerobic respiration? | Does not use oxygen as it performs respiration |
| What is the Aerobic Respiration formula? | C6 H12 06+6O2+6H2o-> 6CO2+ 12H2O |
| What's the formula for Photosynthesis? | 6Co2 + 12H20 + energy-> C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 + 6H20 |
| The first stage for aerobic respiration | Glycolysis |
| Where does Glycolysis take place? | In the cytosol of the cells |
| What is Photosynthesis? | Light is energy converted into an organci molecule form such as glucose |
| What are the organic molecules used for? | Can be stored as food to be broken down by cellular respiration when energy is needed |
| Whats capable for performing photosynthesis? | Plants, algae, and some kinds of bacteria |
| What stages can photosynthetic pathway be divided into? | Light-dependent reactions; carbon fixation reactions |
| Where does light-dependent reactions occur? | Within the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts |
| What process converts light energy into ATP and NADPH? | Photophosphorylation |
| The cycle that uses the energy in ATP and NADPH to synthesize the glucose | Calvin Cycle |
| In plants, what is the glucose molecule often combined into? | Starch; used for longer-term storage |
| Where does photosynthesis take place in eukaryotic cells? | In the chloroplasts |
| pigments | Colored chemical compounds that absorb light |
| photon | smallest particle of light |
| what color chlorophyll absorb best | blue and red not green |
| carbon fixation | conversion of carbon gas to solid use hydrogen and ATP |
