Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Lactic Acid | Cause of sore muscles |
| Alcoholic Fermentaion | Used in Brewing, baking, and carbonating |
| Glycolysis | First stage of cellular respiration |
| Electron Transport Chain | Series of protiens embedded in a membrane that make energy |
| Cellular Respiration Total Reaction | C6H12O6+ 6O2 to 6CO2+ 6H2O |
| ATP | adenosine triphosphate |
| ATP | high energy molecule used to do work in the cell |
| ATP | releases energy when a phosphate is removed |
| ATP | uses the energy from the breakdown of food to produce energy for cells |
| autotroph | make their own food, usually through photosynthesis ex: plants |
| heterotroph | eat other organisms ex: animal |
| light dependent reactions | takes place in the thylakiod |
| light independent reactions | aka Calvin Cycle takes place in the stroma |
| chloroplast | organelle in plant where photosynthesis occurs |
| reactants of photosynthesis | carbon dioxide and water |
| products of photosynthesis | oxygen and sugar (glucose) |
| mitochondria | organelle where cellular respiration occurs |
| reactants of cellular respiration | sugar (glucose) and oxygen |
| products of cellular respiration | water and carbon dioxide |
| glycolysis | first step of cellular respiration occurs in the cytoplasm anaerobic process (does not require oxygen) breaks down glucose to make pyruvate and 2 ATP |
| Krebs Cycle | occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria releases carbon dioxide |
| Electron Transport Chain | occurs in the membrane of the mitochondria (cristae) produces water and lots of ATP |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | produces lactic acid bacteria do this process responsible for sore muscles and sour dairy products (yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, cheese) |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | produces carbon dioxide and alcohol yeast do this process responsible for brewing, carbonating, and baking (bread) |
| Fermentation | anaerobic process (doesn't use oxygen) to break down sugars into ATP only goes through glycolysis produces 2 ATP less efficient than cellular respiration |
| Total number of ATP made through cellular respiration | 36 |
| Total Reaction for Photosynthesis | 6CO2+ 6H2O to C6H12O6+ 6O2 |
| photosynthesis | the process by which plants covert light energy into chemical energy (food) |
| chemosynthesis | the process by which some autotrophs covert chemical energy to the the chemical energy in food |
| water | molecule broken down during photosynthesis to release oxygen |
