photosynthesis |
the process carried out by autotrophs (self-feeder such as plants) that converts light energy to chemical energy. The energy produced is then stored in sugars and other molecules. |
|
|
light dependent reaction |
is part of photosynthesis that takes place in the day when solar light is available. |
|
|
light independent reaction |
a part of photosynthesis that does not require to light. |
|
|
autotrophs |
produce their own biomolecules from CO2 and other inorganic molecules. They are also called the producers of the biosphere as they are the main source of organic materials for non-autotrophs. |
|
|
Cellular respiration is usually happens in four stages. |
Glycolysis – the breakdown of glucosePyruvate oxidation – the conversion on pyruvate into CoACitric acid cycle – CoA combines with a four carbon molecule and forms ATP, NADH and FADH2. Oxidative phosphorylation – NADH and FADH2, returns to their empty state (NAD and FAD). |
|
|
heterotrophs |
organism that are unable to produce their own food and get organic molecules from consuming organic molecules from other organisms. |
