ATP and Energy
This 3 letter molecule is the cell's main energy currency.
What is ATP?
This green pigment, packed into thylakoid membrane, absorbs light for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
The first stage of respiration splits glucose into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm.
What is glycolysis?
This organelle contains the genetic information of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This is the movement of a solvent across a semipermeable membrane from a an area where solute concentration is low to where solute concentration is high.
What is osmosis?
This molecule is left over after ATP gives up a phosphate group.
What is ADP?
These molecules are made in the light-dependent process of photosynthesis and sent over to the Calvin Cycle.
What is ATP and NADPH?
This cycle, in the mitochondrial matrix, releases CO2 and loads up NADH and FADH2.
What is Krebs cycle?
This organelle contains an enzyme that is responsible of breaking down molecules into smaller pieces. Like the "digestive system" of the cell.
What is the lysosome?
Cell transport that uses energy to transport substances against a concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
This rotary molecular bio machine uses a flow of H+ ions to bolt a phosphate back onto ADP.
What is ATP synthase?
The common name for the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis where CO2 is fixed into sugar.
What is Calvin cycle?
This molecule is the final electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain, becoming water.
What is oxygen?
This organelle has ribosomes and is responsible for synthesizing proteins.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
What is a hypertonic solution?
The total amount of ATP made by glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and ETC.
What is about 36?
This enzyme attaches CO2 to RuBP during carbon fixation.
What is RuBisCO?
This process regenerates NAD+ so glycolysis can keep running when no oxygen is available.
What is fermentation?
This organelle is responsible for providing energy for the cell by making ATP through cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
The process by which a substance in a vesicle is released into the cell's environment by fusing with the plasma membrane.
What is exocytosis?
