Energy Flow
This is where almost all of the energy for this planet comes from.
The sun
The organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
Chloroplast
The organelle where aerobic respiration occurs.
Mitochondria
The most abundant pigment in spinach leaves.
Chlorophyll
The product of glycolysis.
2 3-carbon Pyruvates
This is how energy moves through an ecosystem.
The location of the photosynthesis electron transport chain.
Thylakoid membrane
The location of glycolysis.
A technique that separates a mixture.
Chromatography
The starting material for the Kreb's cycle.
Acetyl-CoA
The 10% rule states that only 10% of energy moves on to each level of an ecosystem. Where does the remainder go?
Lost as heat
The location of the Calvin Cycle.
Chloroplast stroma
The location of anaerobic fermentation.
The cytoplasm.
A gas needed for photosynthesis to occur.
Carbon dioxide
The product of photosynthesis that changed the composition of Earth's atmosphere over 1 billion years.
Oxygen
Energy is captured by producers and passed to consumers. If a producer or a consumer dies, where is energy transferred to next?
Decomposers
The metabolic process that is part of the light-independent reactions.
Calvin Cycle
The grand total of ATP molecules produced at the end of cellular respiration.
36
A gas produced by alcoholic fermentation.
Carbon dioxide
The molecule that carries high energy electrons in photosynthesis.
Heterotroph (consumer)
The molecule that replaces electrons lost to the electron transport chain.
Water
The molecule that carries high energy electrons to the electron transport chain.
NADH
Water and carbon dioxide.
The reason an organism would switch from aerobic respiration to anaerobic fermentation.
Oxygen unavailable (need to regenerate NAD+ to keep glycolysis going).
