Cellular Respiration equation
|
Glucose + O2 => CO2 + water + energy
|
|
|
Photosynthesis equation
|
Energy + CO2 + water => oxygen + glucose
|
|
|
mitochondria
|
powerhouse of the cell. Site of cellular respiration
|
|
|
chloroplast
|
found in plants. site of photosynthesis
|
|
|
eukaryotic cell
|
cell with a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles.
|
|
|
prokaryotic cell
|
cell without a defined nucleus or other membrane bound organelles. Bacteria. All have a cell wall.
|
|
|
Plant cell
|
eukaryotic cell with a cell wall and chloroplasts for photosynthesis
|
|
|
Animal cell
|
eukaryotic cell. No cell wall. Centrioles are present.
|
|
|
Cell Theory
|
1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
2. The cell is the most basic unit of structure, function, and organization in all organisms. 3. All cells arise from pre-existing, living cells. |
|
|
Ribosome
|
Site of protein synthesis
|
|
|
Golgi Apparatus
|
Packages proteins before sent to their destination.
|
|
|
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
Network of folded membranes continuous with nuclear membrane. Studded with ribosomes. Isolates, modifies and transports proteins.
|
|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
Network of folded membranes that produces and secretes lipids and steroids.
|
|
|
chlorophyll
|
pigment that absorbs light energy in plants located in the thylakoid of the chloroplasts in plants.
|
|
|
Light Dependent Reactions
|
First phase of photosynthesis in plants. Requires sunlight and produces oxygen from water. Excited electrons enter photosystems. Occurs in thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
|
|
|
Light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle)
|
Second phase of photosynthesis in plants. Does not require sunlight. CO2 is fixed and glucose is produced. Occurs in stroma of chloroplasts.
|
|
|
Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs)
|
2nd stage of cellular respiration. Occurs in mitochondria and produces CO2, ATP and electrons.
|
|
|
Fermentation
|
metabolic process to convert sugar to acid or alcohol to produce energy in bacteria or yeast or when oxygen is not available.
|
|
|
electron transport chain
|
Process occurs in the mitochondria and releases a large amount of energy (ATP). Part of cellular respiration. Requires oxygen.
|
|
|
Nucleus
|
The control center of a cell, containing the cell's chromosomal DNA
|
|
|
Cell membrane
|
Surrounds the cytoplasm of living cells. It is selectively permeable and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells.
