chemical energy
this macromolecule is the primary source of chemical energy for most living organisms
what is glucose?
plants use this green pigment to absorb light for photosynthesis
This organelle is where most ATP is produced
what is the mitochondria?
fermentation occurs in the absence of this molecule
what is oxygen?
The balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration is:
What is C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP?
the energy stored in chemical bonds is released through this process
what is a chemical reaction?
gas taken in by plants during photosynthesis
what is carbon dioxide?
The first stage of cellular respiration, which breaks down glucose into pyruvate
What is glycolysis?
The type of fermentation that occurs in muscle cells during intense exercise
what is lactic acid fermentation?
The chemical equation for cellular respiration is the reverse of this process
What is photosynthesis?
what is the primary energy storing molecule in the cell?
what is ATP?
The light-dependent reactions occur in this specific part of the chloroplast.
what is the thykaloid membrane?
The cycle that occurs in the mitochondria and produces electron carriers for the electron transport chain.
What is the Krebs cycle?
The type of fermentation used by yeast to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide
what is alcoholic fermentation?
The chemical equation for photosynthesis starts with these two reactants
What are carbon dioxide and water
This type of stored chemical energy is found in the bonds of molecules and released during a reaction.
The tiny pores on leaves that allow gas exchange during photosynthesis are called this
The final step of aerobic respiration where most ATP is generated
What is the electron transport chain?
The main purpose of fermentation is to regenerate this molecule for glycolysis to continue
What is NAD+
The chemical equation for lactic acid fermentation.
What is C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₃H₆O₃ + ATP?
In living organisms, this biochemical process converts chemical energy from food into a usable form of energy.
what is metabolism?
The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and this cycle
what is the calvin cycle?
what is oxygen?
In addition to alcohol, ____ is a byproduct of alcoholic fermentation
what is carbon dioxide?
The simple chemical equation for alcoholic fermentation
What is C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂ + ATP?
