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)
|
