ATP
energy storing molecule with 3 phosphates, stored energy
ADP
a molecule formed from the release of energy, when one phosphate is removed and two phosphates are still bonded
Photosynthesis
the process of trapping the sun's energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose
Light dependent reactions
a phase of photosynthesis where energy from the sun is necessary to produce ATP and Oxygen
Light independent reactions
phase of photosynthesis where energy from the sun is not required, and glucose is produced
Pigment
the color which absorbs the wavelengths of sunlight
Chlorophyll
a light absorbing pigment in plants that absorbs the suns light energy, green color
Electron transport chain
a series of proteins in the membrane which pass energized electrons along, so energy is released
NADP+
electron carrier molecule which can carry a hydrogen ion, stores energy in the light dependent reactions to use in the Calvin Cycle
Hydrolysis (Photolysis)
during light dependent reactions when water is spilt
Calvin Cycle
the cycle with the input of carbon dioxide to form one glucose
Cellular respiration
the overall name for the chemical processes of breaking down glucose to form ATP
anaerobic
chemical reactions which do not require oxygen
aerobic
chemical reactions that require the presence of oxygen
Glycolysis
process in cellular respiration in the cytoplasm, which splits the glucose and forms 2 pyruvic acids and nets 2 ATPs
Krebs (citric acid cycle)
the cycle which produces ATPs due to the breaking down of glucose along a electron transport chain
lactic acid fermentation
a series of anaerobic chemical reactions to supply energy to the cells when oxygen is scarce, causes muscles to be sore
alcoholic fermentation
process of converting pyruvic acid into alcohol when oxygen is no present (yeast does this in bread making)
