Synthesis |
The combining of elements/molecules to yield a molecule. |
H2+O=H2O Water is made in the process of synthesis |
|
Biosynthesis |
Organisms and cells producing molecules for life. |
Plants making glucose. Plants do biosynthesis to create energy and food for themselves. |
|
Decomposition |
The ripping apart of molecules for energy and biosynthesis. |
H2O = H2 + O Decomposition happens in biosynthesis. |
|
Cell Respiration |
The chemical process in a cell that makes its energy through metabolic reactions. |
Forming ATP Cell Respiration can happen Aerobically and Anaerobically. |
|
Aerobic |
The use of oxygen in cell respiration to form energy for the cell. |
A human jogging is a type of Aerobic Cell Respiration. |
|
Anaerobic |
The use of other substances not including oxygen in cell respiration to form energy for the cell. |
They burning feeling humans get while jogging. Anaerobic Cell Respiration |
|
Fermentation |
chemically breaking down substances with the use of microorganisms. |
Making alcohol. Lactic Fermentation is that burning feeling in exercise. |
|
Glycolysis |
The breaking down of glucose through the use of enzymes. |
Glucose ripping. Glycolysis makes energy and pyruvic acid. |
|
Krebs Cycle |
Generates energy in aerobic cell respiration. Occurs in the mitochondria. Consumes oxygen and makes Carbon dioxide and water as waste products. Converts ADP to ATP. |
Converter The Krebs Cycle makes ADP into something consuming another thing and making wastes of something. |
|
ETS |
Uses electron donors to make ATP synthesis occur. Located in the Cristae of the Mitochondria. |
Electron Transport System. ETS occurs in ATP Synthesis. |
|
NADH & FADH2 |
Used to donate electrons to the Electron Transport System. |
Donors to a blood drive. They have a job to do for the ETS. |
|
Pyruvate/Pyruvic Acid |
Used in the transport of metabollic reactions. |
Pyruvic Acid is on the low side of the pH scale because it is an acid. |
|
Lactate/Lactic Acid |
an organic acid in sour milk that produces proteins during respiration. |
Sour milk. Lactic Acid is usually found in milk. |
|
Alcoholic(Fermentation) |
When sugars are converted into cellular energy and produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as waste products. |
Cutting oxygen off from sugars to they ferment into ethanol and something else. |
|
Lactic Acid(Fermentation) |
When glucose is converted into cellular energy and lactate. |
lactate is an end product of lactic acid fermentation. |
|
Mitochondrion |
The powerhouse of a cell. |
Located inside of the cell membrane. |
|
Matrix |
The site of oxidation in the mitochondria. |
Matrices have an overall affect on the mitochondria. |
|
Cristae |
Folds of the inner membrane in the Mitochondria. |
ETS is located here. |
|
Cytochromes |
Transfer electrons during cell respiration. |
Agents in blood donating. |
|
Faculative Aerobes |
Makes ATP when oxygen is present through aerobic respiration. If not present, uses anaerobic cell respiration. |
Switches between air and chemicals. |
|
Obligate Anaerobes |
Poisined by oxygen, they are the anaerobic respiration of the faculative aerobe. |
Without oxygen. |
|
Obligate Aerobes |
Use oxygen in the aerobes of respiration in faculative aerobe. |
With oxygen. |
|
Hyrolysis |
Breaking down a compound with the water molecules. |
Doing Photosynthesis. |
