Photosynthesis and Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cellular Respiration | process that releases energy from food |
| Aerobic respiration | releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen |
| Anaerobic respiration | process that releases energy from food without use of oxygen |
| alcoholic fermentation | used to make alcoholic beverages and bread |
| What is used to conduct alcoholic fermentation? | Yeast and other microorganisms |
| Lactic acid fermentation | used for production of cheese and yogurt |
| When is lactic acid fermentation used? | during periods of heavy workout of the human body |
| Photosynthesis | a chemical process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds using the energy from sunlight |
| Chloroplast | part of plant that asorbs energy from the sun to help photosynthesis |
| heterotrophs | organisms that odtain food by consuming other living things |
| autotrophs | organisms that make their own food |
| photosynthesis | process where autotrophs uses the energy from the sun to produce their food |
| pigments | light asorbing molecules |
| chlorophyll | a plant's principal pigment |
| thylakoids | saclike photosynthetic membranes |
| stroma | the fluid portion of chlorophyll |
| photosystems | clusters of chlorophyll and proteins |
| Calvin cycle | plants use the energy that ATP and NADPH contain to build stable high-energy carbohydrate compounds that can be stored for a long time |
| electron transport chain | a series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy alectrons during ATP generating reactions |
| ATP synthase | protein located in a thylakoid membrane |
| light-dependent reactions | reactions requiring the direct involvement of light and light asorbing pigments |
| light-independent reactions | reactions that does not require the direct involvement of light or light asorving pigments |
| NADP | nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate |
| ATP | adenosine triphosphate |
