Ch 7 Biology

Front 1

glycolysis

Back 1

part of respiration in which one glucose molecule is broken down into two pyruvic acid molecules

Front 2

C4

Back 2

a special pathway used by plants that grow in hot, dry climates used to bind CO2 to a 3-Carbon compound

Front 3

stomata

Back 3

pores in leaves that regulate the passageway of H2O & CO2

Front 4

alcholoic fermentation

Back 4

type of anaerobic respiration in yeasts in which ethyl alcohol is the end product

Front 5

acetyl Co-A

Back 5

the product formed in areobic respiration in which part of pyruvic acid joins to coenzyme A

Front 6

lactic acid fermentation

Back 6

a form of anaerobic respiration in which oxygen is scarce & lactic acid forms in muscles of animals making them tired & sore

Front 7

fermentation

Back 7

a term used for anaerobic respiration

Front 8

CAM

Back 8

acid metabolism that fixes CO2 at night so water is not lost so dramactically

Front 9

Calvin Cycle

Back 9

another name for the dark reactions taken from the name of the scientist who figured it out

Front 10

aerobic respiration

Back 10

the type of respiration in which pyruvic acid is metabolized using oxygen

Front 11

kreb cycle

Back 11

central biochemical pathway of aerobic respiration sometimes called the citric acid cycle

Front 12

CO2 Fixation

Back 12

the binding of CO2 to a carrier or acceptor molecule

Front 13

anaerobic respiration

Back 13

the combined processes of glycolysis and fermentation(meaning without the use of oxygen)
