Cellular Energy
This is the only usable form of energy for a cell.
What is ATP?
This is the organelle in which photosynthesis takes place.
What is a chloroplast?
Cellular respiration begins with glycolysis which is an "anaerobic" process. Anaerobic refers to this.
What is "not in the presence of oxygen"?
Glycolysis cannot continue when there is no oxygen because NAD+ cannot be recycled. What two things can be produced during fermentation to pick up electrons so NAD+ can be made?
What is lactic acid and ethanol?
This type of sugar production occurs at places like geothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean where there is no sunlight.
What is chemosynthesis?
This molecule is like a rechargeable battery and is recycled over and over again.
What is ADP?
The light-dependent reactions begin when light is trapped by this pigment.
What is chlorophyll?
Where in a cell does glycolysis take place?
What is the cytoplasm?
This builds up in muscle cells and causes a "burning" sensation when the body goes into oxygen debt.
What is lactic acid?
The following parts belong to which organelle? Thylakoids, grana, stroma, inner membrane, outer membrane.
What is a chloroplast?
This process of breaking glucose only yields approximately 2 ATP but is essential in bacteria and does not require oxygen.
What is glycolysis?
Chlorophyll is green but not because it is absorbing green wavelengths of light but rather reflecting them. What color(s) do green plants mostly ABSORB?
What are red and blue wavelengths?
In cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized or reduced to make CO2?
What is oxidized?
Bacteria have been used for thousands of years to ferment food to preserve it. What type of fermentation do bacteria do?
What is alcoholic fermentation?
Glycolysis takes place outside of this organelle, while the Krebs cycle and ETC take place inside of it.
What is a mitochondrion?
The part of cellular respiration that produces the most ATP!
What is the ETC (electron transport chain)?
The fluid-filled stroma is where this part of photosynthesis takes place.
What is the Calvin cycle or the light-independent reaction?
This "waste" gas of photosynthesis is a reactant in cellular respiration and is the final electron acceptor in the ETC.
What is oxygen?
Fermentation is also known as this type of respiration because it happens with no oxygen present.
What is anaerobic respiration?
The plus sign on NADP+ and NAD+ mean what?
What is they have room for an electron?
NADP+ and NAD+ are both electron carriers. Which one is used in photosynthesis?
What is NADP+?
This reactant provides the high-energy electrons used to power the ETC.
What is H2O or water?
Cellular respiration is broken down into 3 major steps. What are these steps, in order?
What is glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and ETC?
A person doing this type of activity would be more like to go into lactic acid fermentation than a person not doing this.
What is intense exercise?
Why do plants appear green?
What is they reflect green wavelengths of light?
