| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Autotrophs | Organisms that get energy from sun or inorganic subs. To make organic compounds (plants) |
| Heterotrophs | Organisms that get energy from food (animals) |
| Granum | Stack of thylakoids |
| Electronic transport chain | Series of molecules which electrons ate passed in thylakoidmembrane |
| Photosynthesis | The process in which light energy is changed to chemical energy |
| pigment | subs. that asorbs light |
| chlorophyll | main pigment in photosynthesis |
| carotenoids | asorb wavelengths of light that is not aborbed by chlorophyll; acesssory pigment |
| carbon fixtation | carbon dioxide into organic compounds |
| calvin cycle | enzyme assited chemical reactions that makes a 3 carbon sugar molecule |
| C4 pathway | Co2 fixed into 4 carbon compounds |
| CAM pathway | water conserving process of carbon fixtation |
| chemiosmosis | processs that relies on concentration gradient of protons |
| light reactions | a series of reactions that invovle pigments |
| stomata | small pores in leaves |
| thylakoids | disk shaped structures in chloroplast |
| alcoholic fermentation | used by yeast; converts pyruvic acid to ethyl achoal and carbon dioxide |
| pyruvic acid | 3 carbon product of glycolsis |
| acetyal CoA | 2 carbon molecule |
| aerobic respiration | needs oxygen make lots of ATP |
| anaerobic | does not need oxygen |
| NADH | made in glycolsis reduced electron carrier |
| oxaloacetic acid | 4 carbon molecule that combines with acetyl CoA |
| citric acid | 6 carbon molecule in krebs cycle |
| NAD+ | electron carrier, oxidized when G3P is reduced |
| Cellular respiration | when cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds |
| mitochondrial matrix | the space inside the inner membrane of a mitochondrion |
| FAD | electron carrier similar to NAD+ |
| glycolysis | pathwayin which 2 molecules of pyruvic acid are made |
| krebs cycle | pathway that breaks down acetyl CoA makeing CO2 hydrogen atoms and ATP |
| fermentation | recycleing of NAD+ in anaerobic conditions |
| kilocalorie | unit of energy |
