Respiration
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Photosynthesis | process converting sunlight, water and CO2 to glucose |
Respiration | process converting glucose to ATP |
ATP | “energy currency” in the cell |
Aerobic | using oxygen |
Anaerobic | without oxygen |
Fermentation | a type of anaerobic metabolism |
Lactic Acid | byproduct of fermentation in most animals when there is not enough oxygen present for aerobic respiration. |
Alcohol | byproduct of fermentation in most plants, yeasts and bacteria and used to make bread, beer and wine |
Mitochondria | organelle where aerobic respiration takes place |
Chloroplast | organelle where photosynthesis takes place |
Plant | large, land-dwelling organism which photosynthesizes |
Algae | aquatic organism which photosynthesizes |
Glucose | storage form of energy in organisms, made by photosynthesis |
Oxygen | gas required for Aerobic respiration; product of photosynthesis |
CarbonDioxide | gas required for photosynthesis |
Water | product of respiration |
Chlorophyll | photosynthetic pigment found in plants |
Light Dependent Reaction | portion of photosynthesis that occurs in the thylakoids. Splits water using light energy and produces ATP for the Light Independent Reaction. |
Light Independent Reaction | portion of photosynthesis that occurs in the Stroma of the chloroplast. Uses carbondioxide and produces glucose. |
Glycolysis | First step of aerobic cellular respiration, happens in the cytoplasm.and produces 2 pyruvate molecules and 2 ATP |
