|
Photosynthesis
|
Is the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy
|
|
|
Autograph
|
Organisms that use energy from sunlight of from chemical bonds in inorganic substances to make organic compounds
|
|
|
Heterotroph
|
Organisms that must get energy from food instead of directly from sunlight or inorganic substances
|
|
|
Cellular Respiration
|
Is a metabolic process similar to burning fuel, break things up (equal)
|
|
|
Pigments
|
These structure contain light-absorbing substances, absorb only certain wavelengths and reflect all others
|
|
|
Chlorophyll
|
The primary pigment involved in photo
|
|
|
Caroteniod
|
The pigment that produce yellow and orange fall leaf colors, as well as the colors of many fruits, vegetables, and flowers
|
|
|
Thylakoix
|
Clusters of pigments are embedded in the membranes of disk - shaped structures
|
|
|
Electron Transport Chain
|
The series of molecules through which excited electrons are passes along a thylakoid membrane
|
|
|
NADPH
|
Is an electronic carrier that provides the high - energy electrons needed to make carbon - hydrogen bonds in the third stage of photosynthesis
|
|
|
Carbon Dioxide Fixation
|
The transfer of carbon dioxide to organic compounds
|
|
|
Calvin Cycle
|
Is a series of enzyme - assisted chemical reactions that produces a three carbon sugar
|
|
|
Aerobic
|
Metabolic processes that require oxygen
|
|
|
Anaerobic
|
Metabolic processes that do not require oxygen
|
|
|
Glycolysis
|
In the first stage of cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm during a process.
|
|
|
NADP
|
As glucose is broken down, some of its hydrogen atoms are transferred to an electron acceptor called NAD+ this forms an electron carrier
|
|
|
Krebs Cycle
|
Acetyl- CoA enters a series of enzyme- assisted reactions
|
|
|
FADH2
|
Electrons are transferred to an electron acceptor called FAD, making a molecule of FADH2, is another type of electron carrier
|
|
|
Fermentation
|
The recycling of NAD+ using an organic hydrogen acceptor
|
