Cellular respiration & Photosynthesis
The specific location within the chloroplast where the light-dependent reactions occur.
The thylakoid membrane
A group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit
The protein responsible for carrying oxygen in the bloodstream
Haemoglobin
The organ responsible for the production of bile, which aids in the emulsification of fats.
The liver
The specific tissue that transports sugars produced by photosynthesis
Phloem
The electron carrier molecules that shuttle high-energy electrons during cellular respiration
NADH and FADHâ‚‚
This level of organization in multicellular organisms consists of multiple tissues working together for a specific function.
An organ
The structure that prevents backflow of blood in veins
Valves
The specific structure in the nephron where filtration of blood plasma occurs.
The glomerulus
The name of the process by which water is drawn upward through a plant due to evaporation and cohesion.
Transpiration
The specific enzyme responsible for synthesizing ATP in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
ATP synthase
Cells that can self-renew and develop into many different types of cells in the body
Stem cells
These tiny air sacs in the lungs are the site of gas exchange between the air and the bloodstream.
Alveoli
The part of the nephron where most reabsorption of water and solutes occurs.
The proximal tubule
The specific cells that control the opening and closing of stomata
Guard cells
The main purpose of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration.
To generate a proton gradient for ATP synthesis
The process where a cell becomes specialised due to selective activation or suppression of genes
Differentiation
This tube carries air from the larynx to the bronchi and is commonly referred to as the windpipe.
The trachea
Projections in the small intestine that increase surface area for absorption of nutrients
Villi
This part of the leaf contains chloroplasts and is the primary site of photosynthesis.
The mesophyll layer
The net products of glycolysis per molecule of glucose.
2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate
The type of stem cell that can differentiate into all cell types, including placental cells.
Totipotent stem cell
The chamber of the that heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.
The left atrium
This class of enzymes breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids during digestion
Proteases
These two properties of water allow it to move through plant xylem by sticking to the walls of the xylem and to other water molecules.
Adhesion and cohesion
