Cell Energy

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Aerobic process   A metabolic process that requires oxygen  
🗑
Chlorophyll   A pigmented molecule that absorbs specific wavelengths of light. It gives plants and some algae their color.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Double-membrane organelle that captures light energy and converts it to chemical energy through photosynthesis  
🗑
Electron transport chain   Series of compounds that move electrons along a membrane. This is coupled with the transport of protons and used to create energy.  
🗑
Endosymbiotic theory   Explains that eukaryotic cells may have evolved from prokaryotic cells.  
🗑
Fermentation   Process after glycolysis allowing limited production of ATP in the absence of oxygen.  
🗑
Glucose   Widely used sugar molecule by living organisms with the formula C6H12O6 (ring structure)  
🗑
Glycolysis   Anaerobic process; first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. Occurs in the cytoplasm  
🗑
Granum   One of the stacks of pigment-containing thylakoids in a plant's chloroplasts.  
🗑
Krebs cycle   Series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into CO2 inside the mitochondria; 2nd stage of cellular respiration  
🗑
Light reaction   Part of photosynthesis, these reactions take place in the thylakoids of the chloroplast and provide energy for the production of glucose in the next stage.  
🗑
Metabolism   All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism  
🗑
Mitochondria   Membrane-bound organelles that convert fuel into energy that is useable by the cell.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   Two-phase anabolic pathway in which the sun's light energy is converted into chemical energy (glucose).  
🗑
Pigment   Light-absorbing colored molecule such as chlorophyll and carotenoid in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.  
🗑
Stroma   Fluid-filled space outside the grana in the chloroplast where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place.  
🗑
Thermodynamics   Study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe  
🗑
Thylakoid   In chloroplasts, one of the stacked, flattened, pigment-containing membranes in which the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.  
🗑
Aerobic respiration   Metabolic process in which pyruvate is broken down and electron-carrier molecules are used to produce ATP through electron transport. Occurs in the mitochondrion  
🗑
Anaerobic process   Metabolic process that does not require oxygen  
🗑
ATP   Energy-carrying biological molecule which when broken down provides energy for cellular activities.  
🗑
Calvin Cycle   Light-independent reactions during phase 2 of photosynthesis in which energy is stored in glucose molecules.  
🗑
Carbohydrate   Organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio; source of fuel/energy  
🗑
Cellular respiration   Catabolic pathway in which organic molecules (such as glucose) are broken down to release energy (ATP) for use by the cell.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
