|
Photosynthesis |
A process by which green plant in some other organisms you Stanley to the synthesized foods from carbon dioxide and water |
|
|
Autotrophs |
An organisms that is able to form simple organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide |
|
|
Heterotroph |
An organism deriving nutritional requirements from organic substances |
|
|
Cellular respiration |
Is a metabolic process simulator burning fuel |
|
|
Pigment |
Light absorbing substances |
|
|
Chlorophyll |
The primary pigment involved in photosynthesis absorbs mostly blue and red light and reflects a green and yellow light |
|
|
Carotenoids |
Carotenoids absorb wavelength of light different from those absorbed by chlorophyll so having both pigments enables plants to absorb more light energy during photosynthesis |
|
|
Thylakoids |
Clusters of pigments are embedded in the membranes of disk shaped structures |
|
|
Electron transport chains |
The series of molecules through which excited electrons are passed along a thylakoid membrane |
|
|
NADPH |
Wild one electron transport chain provides energy used to make ATP a second electron transport chain provides energy used to make NADPH |
|
|
Carbon dioxide fixation |
The transfer of carbon dioxide to organic compounds |
|
|
Calvin cycle |
, a series of enzyme assisted chemical reactions that produces a three carbon sugar |
|
|
aerobic |
Oxygen in the air you breathe makes the production of ATP more efficient although some ATP is made without oxygen metabolis process that requires oxygen are called aerobic |
|
|
, anaerobic |
What tablet process that do not require oxygen are called anaerobic |
|
|
Glycolysis |
In the first stage of cellular respiration glucose is broken down into the cytoplasm during a process called glycolysis |
|
|
Krebs cycle |
Acetyl - COA enters a series of enzyme assisted reactions |
|
|
Fadh 2 |
Is another type of electron carrier |
|
|
Fermentation |
The recycling of NAD+ using an organic hydrogen acceptor is called fermentation |
