Light Dependent Reactions
This pigment molecule absorbs light energy during photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
Where does the Calvin Cycle take place?
What is the stroma of the chloroplast?
What is the final electron acceptor in the ETC
What is oxygen?
This process occurs in the cytoplasm and produces two molecules of pyruvate
What is glycolysis?
Variations contribute to the versatility of proteins in performing essential biological roles which increase what?
What is Fitness?
What are the products of this reaction?
what is ATP and NAPDH?
The This term refers to the process of converting carbon dioxide into organic compounds during the Calvin Cycle.
What is carbon fixation?
In what type of respiration is the ETC present in?
What is aerobic respiration?
This organelle is the site of the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain.
What is the mitochondria?
This type of fermentation occurs in human muscle cells during intense exercise.
What is lactic acid fermentation?
Where does the LDR take place?
What is thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts
This enzyme catalyzes the fixation of carbon dioxide in the Calvin Cycle.
What is ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO)?
This term describes the movement of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane during electron transport, generating a proton gradient.
What is chemiosmosis?
In aerobic respiration, pyruvate is converted into this molecule before entering the Krebs cycle.
What is acetyl-CoA?
This compound is the end product of fermentation in yeast and is used in baking and brewing.
What is ethanol?
This complex in the thylakoid membrane splits water molecules, releasing oxygen and producing electrons for the electron transport chain.
What is photosystem II?
This compound, generated during the Calvin Cycle, is used to synthesize glucose and other carbohydrates.
What is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P)?
This large protein complex in the inner mitochondrial membrane is responsible for pumping protons (H+) across the membrane.
What is ATP synthase?
How much ATP does aerobic respiration produce?
What is 32-36 ATP per glucose molecule?
What allows organisms to adjust to changes in temperature, osmotic pressure, and nutrient availability in their surroundings?
What is variation in molecules?
This molecule, found in the thylakoid membrane, absorbs light energy and transfers it to reaction center chlorophyll molecules.
What are antenna pigments (or accessory pigments)?
What are 3 stages of the Calvin Cycle called?
What is carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration?
YWhat electron donors are present in the ETC?
What is NADH and FADH2?
What process makes ATP go to ADP + P?
What is ATP hydrolysis?
The regeneration of this molecule is essential for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.
What is NAD+?
