Biology 2Nd Semester

Front 1

Calorie

Back 1

The amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C

Front 2

Glycolysis

Back 2

Process in which one molecule of glucose is broken in half producing two molecules of pyruvic acid

Front 3

Cellular respiration

Back 3

Oxygen plus glucose yields carbon dioxide plus water plus energy

Front 4

NAD+

Back 4

Electron carrier

Front 5

Fermentation

Back 5

Releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP in the absence of oxygen

Front 6

Anaerobic

Back 6

Not requiring oxygen

Front 7

ADP

Back 7

Adenosine diphosphate

Front 8

Glucose

Back 8

The sugar that your body uses as a source of energy. Unless you have diabetes, your body regulates the amount of glucose in your blood. People with diabetes may need medications To control blood glucose.

Front 9

Mitochondrion

Back 9

Organelle in eukaryotic cells which serves as the site of cellular respiration

Front 10

Pyruvic acid

Back 10

This three carbon compound is produced during glycolysis and is needed for both the aerobic and anaerobic pathways of cellular respiration that follow glycolysis

Front 11

Krebs cycle

Back 11

AKA Citric acid cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion, completes the breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide, generates NADH and FADH2 that carry the H to the electron transport chain, creates 2 ATP

Front 12

Electron transport chain

Back 12

High-energy electrons and materials from the Krebs cycle are used to convert ADP to ATP.

Front 13

FADH2

Back 13

And electron carrier capable of creating two ATP from releasing its electrons to the electron transport chain

Front 14

Yeast

Back 14

Hey microscopic single celled plant that produces carbon dioxide (CO2) through the process of fermentation

Front 15

Cytoplasm

Back 15

Site of glycolysis

contains enzymes necessary for glycolysis

Front 16

Aerobic

Back 16

Requiring oxygen

Front 17

CO2

Back 17

Product of final breakdown of glucose in Krebs cycle

Front 18

Heterotroph

Back 18

Organisms that obtain energy through consumption

Front 19

Autotroph

Back 19

Organisms that produce energy without consuming other organisms

Front 20

ATP

Back 20

The energy carrier molecule

Front 21

Clora Phil‘s Clora Phil

Back 21

Molecule that combines with a phosphate group to create ATP

Front 22

Pigment

Back 22

Changes the wavelength of reflected light

Front 23

Chlorophyll

Back 23

The light absorbing pigment in chloroplasts which turned plants green

Front 24

Thylakoid

Back 24

Membranes of chloroplast that contain chlorophyll and the enzymes of the light reactions of photosynthesis

Front 25

Photosystem

Back 25

Structure at which electrons are energized by light

Front 26

Stoma

Back 26

Small openings in the leaf allowed the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen

Front 27

Light dependent reactions

Back 27

Reactions that energize electrons and produce NADPH

Front 28

Granum

Back 28

The sites where light energy is trapped by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy during the light reactions of photosynthesis

Front 29

Light independent reactions

Back 29

Reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light and water to produce ATP and oxygen that is released into the atmosphere

Front 30

Sunlight

Back 30

Reactant of photosynthesis

Front 31

Jan Ingenhousz

Back 31

Showed that aquatic plants produce oxygen bubbles in the light but not in the dark and also found that plants need sunlight to produce energy

Front 32

Photosynthesis

Back 32

Process in plants that makes glucose from light energy

Front 33

Adenine

Back 33

Combines with a phosphate group to create ATP

Front 34

Water in photosynthesis (H2O)

Back 34

The reactant that splits to begin the light dependent reaction
