Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Photosynthesis | process converting sunlight, water and CO2 to glucose |
| Respiration | process converting glucose to ATP |
| ATP | “energy currency” in the cell |
| Aerobic | using oxygen |
| Anaerobic | without oxygen |
| Fermentation | a type of anaerobic metabolism |
| Lactic Acid | byproduct of fermentation in most animals when there is not enough oxygen present for aerobic respiration. |
| Alcohol | byproduct of fermentation in most plants, yeasts and bacteria and used to make bread, beer and wine |
| Mitochondria | organelle where aerobic respiration takes place |
| Chloroplast | organelle where photosynthesis takes place |
| Plant | large, land-dwelling organism which photosynthesizes |
| Algae | aquatic organism which photosynthesizes |
| Glucose | storage form of energy in organisms, made by photosynthesis |
| Oxygen | gas required for Aerobic respiration; product of photosynthesis |
| CarbonDioxide | gas required for photosynthesis |
| Water | product of respiration |
| Chlorophyll | photosynthetic pigment found in plants |
| Light Dependent Reaction | portion of photosynthesis that occurs in the thylakoids. Splits water using light energy and produces ATP for the Light Independent Reaction. |
| Light Independent Reaction | portion of photosynthesis that occurs in the Stroma of the chloroplast. Uses carbondioxide and produces glucose. |
| Glycolysis | First step of aerobic cellular respiration, happens in the cytoplasm.and produces 2 pyruvate molecules and 2 ATP |
