ATP
ATP is this type of molecule
What is nucleic acid?
This is the process where water moves to areas of lower water concentration from higher water concentration.
What is osmosis?
Lactase is a protein that breaks down the sugar lactose. The lactase is an example of this.
What is an enzyme?
This pigment absorbs energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color
What is the chlorophyll?
The part of the plant where photosynthesis takes place.
What are the leaves?
ATP performs this role for cells
What is transports energy?
If there is a high concentration of sodium outside the cell and a low concentration inside the cell, this is the direction diffusion will cause sodium to move.
What is into the cell?
Lactase is a protein that breaks down the sugar lactose. The lactose is an example of this.
What is a substrate?
This organelle in plants has both the light reactions and the dark reactions occurring inside.
What is the chloroplast?
Pancake-like stacks inside the chloroplasts.
What are the thylakoids?
ATP transfers this group to help facilitate chemical reactions
What is the phosphate group?
Moving materials against their concentration gradient using energy is called this.
What is active transport?
The part of the enzyme where substrates bind
What is the active site?
Light reactions in the plant require this molecule.
What is water (H2O)?
The inside parts of the chloroplasts where the calvin cycle takes place
What is the stroma?
This process generates ATP in heterotrophs
What is cellular respiration?
Using a protein channel to allow ions or molecules into the cell is this type of transport.
What is facilitated diffusion?
Enzymes speed up both endergonic and exergonic reactions by lowering this.
What is the activation energy?
The ATP produced by the light reactions is used up by this in photosynthesis.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
The inside of the thylakoids
What is the Lumen?
This step of photosynthesis generates the ATP
What is the light dependent reactions?
Cells can envelope particles from outside with the cell membrane, bringing them into the cell, in this process.
What is endocytosis?
When the reactants have more energy than the products, the reaction is this.
What is endergonic/endothermic?
This molecule combines with CO2 at the beginning of the Calvin Cycle to form the sugar
What is Rub P?
The enzyme in the thylakoid membrane which builds the ATP
What is ATP synthase?
