Chapter 4 Cells And Energy

Front 1

ATP

Back 1

A molecule that transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell processes.

Front 2

ADP

Back 2

A lower energy molecule that can be converted into ATP by adding a phosphate group.

Front 3

Chemosynthesis

Back 3

A process by which some organisms use chemical energy instea of light energy to make energy storing carbon based molecules.

Front 4

Photosynthesis

Back 4

A process that captures energy from the sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy

Front 5

Chlorophyll

Back 5

A molecule in chloroplasts that absorbs some of the energy in visible light.

Front 6

Thylakoids

Back 6

Coin shaped membrane enclosed compartments. Contain chlorophyll other light absorbing molecules and proteins.

Front 7

Light dependent reactions

Back 7

Capture energy from sunlight. These reactions take place within and across the membranes of the thylakoids.

Front 8

Light independent reactions

Back 8

Energy from the light dependent reactions to make sugars. These reactions occur in the stromatolites of chloroplasts

Front 9

Photo systems

Back 9

Two group of molecules that capture energy and transfer it to the thylakoids membranes.

Front 10

Electron transport chain

Back 10

Is a series of proteins in the membranes of the thykaloids.

Front 11

Calvin Cycle

Back 11

Process by which photosynthetic organisms uses energy to synthesize simple sugar into CO2

Front 12

Cellular respiration

Back 12

Releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present.

Front 13

Aerobic

Back 13

Needs oxygen to take place.

Front 14

Glycolysis

Back 14

Splits glucose into three carbon molecules and makes two molecule of ATP.

Front 15

Anaerobic

Back 15

Process because it doesn't need take oxygen to take place.

Front 16

Krebs cycle

Back 16

Produces molecules that carry energy to the second part of cellular respiration

Front 17

Fermentation

Back 17

Anaerobic process by which ATP is produced by glycolysis

Front 18

Lactic acid

Back 18

C3H6O3 product of fermentation in many types of cell including human muscle cells.
