Term | Definition |
Calvin cycle | light independent |
light dependent | takes place in thylakoid membrane and grana, energy absorbed by chlorophyll |
light independent | glucose is produced |
chloroplast | photosynthesis |
chlorophyll | green pigment |
thylakoid | each of a number of flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks or grana |
grana | the stacks of thylakoids embedded in the stroma of a chloroplast |
stroma | the supportive tissue of an epithelial organ, tumor, gonad, etc., consisting of connective tissues and blood vessels |
citric acid cycle | another term for Krebs cycle |
Krebs cycle | another term for aerobic respiration |
mitochondria | photosynthesis |
cytoplasm | fluid that lets organelles communicate with each other |
pyruvic acid | a yellowish organic acid that occurs as an intermediate in many metabolic processes, especially glycolysis |
ETC | electron transport chain |
aeriobic | the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of Oxygen |
anaerobic | using electron acceptors other than oxygen |
fermentation | that converts sugar to acids, gases, and/or alcohol |
alcohol fermentation | which elements such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and thereby produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste products |
lactic acid fermentation | our muscle cells deal with pyruvate during anaerobic respiration |
