Bio Chapter 8

Bio vocab

QuestionAnswer
A nucleotide that occurs in muscle tissue, and is used as a source of energy in cellular reactions, and in the synthesis of nucleic acids. adenosine triphophate
An organism which requires an external supply of energy in the form of food as it cannot synthesize its own heterotroph
Any organism that can synthesize its food from inorganic substances, using heat or light as a source of energy autotroph
The process by which plants and other photoautotrophs generate carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water, and light energy in chloroplasts photosynthesis
Any color in plant or animal cells pigment
Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria. chlorophyll
a folded membrane within plant chloroplasts from which grana are made, used in photosynthesis. thylakoid
the tissue structure of an organ, etc., that serves to support it. stroma
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate NADP
are the first stage of photosynthesis, the process by which plants capture and store energy from sunlight. In this process, light energy is converted into chemical energy, in the form of the energy-carrying molecules light-dependent reaction
of photosynthesis use the ATP and NADPH synthesized during the exergonic (def) light-dependent reactions to provide the energy for the synthesis of glucose and other organic molecules (def) from inorganic carbon dioxide and water. light-independent reaction
Either of two biochemical systems, active in chloroplasts, that are part of photosynthesis. photosystem
ubiquitous membrane enzyme that plays a key role in biological energy metabolism ATP synthase
couples electron transfer between an electron donor (such as NADH) and an electron acceptor (such as O2) with the transfer of H+ ions (protons) across a membrane electron transport chain
A series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms Calvin cycle

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
