Catabolic Pathways
Used to make energy without the need of oxygen.
What are anaerobic respiration and fermentation?
The two REACTANTS of photosynthesis.
What are water and carbon dioxide?
The two REACTANTS of aerobic respiration.
What are glucose and oxygen?
The sum of all the physical and chemical workings of the cell.
What is metabolism?
The role of oxygen in fermentation
Used to make energy with the need of oxygen.
Aerobic Respiration.
The two PRODUCTS of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen gas?
The three PRODUCTS of aerobic respiration.
What are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP?
Involves the breakdown of organic molecules to release energy.
What is catabolism?
Energy yield for fermentation
What is 2 ATP?
Carbohydrate that is broken down to pyruvuate by glycolysis.
What is glucose?
Stage of photosynthesis in which water is split and the ATP synthase generates ATP?
What are the light reactions?
Final electron acceptor(s) during anaerobic respiration.
What are sulfates, nitrates, and carbonates?
Involves the building of larger biomolecules from precursor chemicals and requires the input of energy.
What is anabolism?
What are alcohols, acids, and gases?
Utilizes glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and an electron transport chain.
What are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?
Stage of photosynthesis in which ATP is used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
What are the dark reactions?
Final electron acceptor during aerobic respiration.
What is O2 (oxygen gas)?
The main energy molecule of the cell.
What is ATP?
What are glycolysis and fermentation?
Molecules that act as electron carriers.
What are NADH and FADH2?
Pyruvate is broken down and electron carriers are generated in this step.
What is the Krebs cycle?
What are:
1. Substrate level phosphorylation
2. Oxidative phosphorylation
3. Photophosphorylation
The final electron acceptor during fermentation.
What is an organic molecule?
